The shout comes from Super Mario 64, released in 1996, where Charles Martinet voiced Mario for the first time and recorded the now-legendary 'Yahoo!' — often transcribed as 'Wahoo!' — heard on triple jumps and star grabs. The voice became the defining sound of the character across decades of Nintendo games, from Mario Kart victories to 3D platformer finishes. As a meme, the clip travelled far beyond gaming: editors pair it with everything from sports highlights to pet videos, and it sits naturally beside classics like the Mario Jump sound effect on any gaming soundboard.
Sobre este sonido
Mario's iconic 'Yahoo!' victory shout from the Super Mario games, played when he grabs a star or clears a level. Perfect for win moments and party edits.
This is the high-pitched, exuberant 'Yahoo!' that Mario belts out at moments of triumph, delivered in the unmistakable voice of Charles Martinet. It bursts out of the clip with cartoonish energy, rising fast and landing with a grin you can practically hear, which is exactly why it reads instantly as victory even to people who have never played the games. The sound is short, punchy and unmistakably cheerful, cutting through a video the way a confetti pop cuts through silence. It makes any win feel bigger, any jump feel higher, and any edit feel like it just cleared the level with a star to spare.
