The sound comes from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros series, where it plays when Mario collects a mushroom and grows from small to Super Mario. First heard in the original 1985 game, the short rising melody became one of the most recognisable sounds in video games and was reused across later Mario titles. Its association with instant growth and reward helped it spread beyond games into memes, streams and short videos, where a single chime instantly signals progress, a power-up or a small victory.

The level up sound effect from Super Mario Bros, a rising chime heard when the hero grows after a mushroom. Ideal for wins, upgrades and gaming videos.
The Mario level up sound is a short, bright rising chime from Super Mario Bros that plays the moment Mario touches a mushroom and grows larger. It starts low and climbs quickly through a few clear, cheerful notes, giving it an instant feeling of reward and progress. Because the tune is so familiar, even a single second of it tells viewers that something good has just happened, a character has powered up, or a goal has been reached. In edits it works as a tiny celebration, turning an ordinary win into a playful nod to classic Nintendo gaming.
