Super Mario 64 launched in 1996 as a flagship title for the Nintendo 64, introducing 3D platforming to a huge new audience and making its music instantly recognisable. As clips from the game spread through Let's Plays, speedrunning streams and short-form video, this brief start cue became shorthand for beginning a playful challenge or returning to a childhood favourite. Its continued use reflects both the game's lasting influence and the way a few seconds of familiar Nintendo music can set a light-hearted tone before any gameplay appears.
