Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project was released by Konami for the NES in 1991 in Japan and 1992 in North America. Its soundtrack, credited to Yuichi Sakakura, Tomoya Tomita and Kouzou Nakamura, used short jingles to mark progress, including this stage clear fanfare heard after finishing an area. As NES sounds were ripped and shared on soundboards, the clip survived beyond the game as a generic level complete cue. Retro gaming creators still use it to signal a win without needing a long musical sting.
