Rhythm Heaven is a Nintendo rhythm game series that began with Rhythm Tengoku in Japan in 2006, later reaching wider audiences on the Nintendo DS and Wii. Players earn ratings after each stage, with Superb marking a near-perfect performance, and its bright jingle became closely associated with that achievement. As gameplay clips, speedruns and rhythm challenges spread on video platforms, creators began lifting the short sound to signal success in their own edits. It endures because it is instantly recognisable, positive and only lasts a couple of seconds.
