The coin sound first appeared in Super Mario Bros., released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, where it played every time Mario collected a coin in a level. As Mario became Nintendo's most famous character, the chime travelled with him into sequels, spin-offs and handheld games, becoming one of the most recognised sounds in gaming. It later spread beyond games into online videos, memes and streams, where its short, positive tone still works as a universal signal for earning something.
Über diesen Sound
The classic chime from Nintendo's Super Mario games, a bright two-note sound that plays when a coin is collected. Used for wins and gaming edits.
This is the short, instantly recognisable chime that rings out in Super Mario games whenever Mario grabs a coin, a clean two-note ping that rises brightly and fades in less than a second. It sounds cheerful, rewarding and slightly nostalgic, like a tiny celebration packed into a single moment. Because almost everyone has heard it while playing, it instantly signals success, a small win or a point scored, even without any picture to explain it. In videos it works as a quick emotional shortcut, turning an ordinary action into something that feels satisfying, playful and worth noticing.
