Paper Mario 64 is the first game in Nintendo's Paper Mario series, a role-playing game for the Nintendo 64 built around a paper-crafted Mario and turn-based battles. Its battle system rewards timing and defence, so a hit that is blocked or avoided can end with no damage at all, and the sound attached to that moment has become a shorthand for failure. Because the clip is only a fraction of a second long, it is easy to drop into gaming videos, reaction edits, and memes, where retro Nintendo sounds carry recognition for players who grew up with the console.
