Super Mario Sunshine launched for the GameCube in 2002, taking Mario on a tropical holiday to Isle Delfino. Like many of his short voice lines, his 'arrivederci' became easy to lift from gameplay because it is brief, expressive and understandable even without context. The Italian phrase means goodbye until we meet again, which suits Mario's polite, cheerful persona. Clips of the line later circulated on soundboards and in edited videos, where creators reuse it as a compact farewell punchline for exits, defeats and sudden departures, long after the original game scene has ended.

A cheerful 'arrivederci' goodbye from Super Mario Sunshine, a short Italian farewell voice clip used for exits, endings and playful goodbyes in video edits.
This is Mario's quick farewell, a bright, high-pitched 'arrivederci' delivered in his cheerful Italian accent in about one second. The line lands with an upbeat, theatrical flourish, rising at the end as if he is waving and bouncing away from the scene. Because it is so short and instantly recognisable, it cuts cleanly over gameplay, animation and live footage without needing any setup. Viewers hear it as a friendly sign-off rather than a sad goodbye, which makes an exit feel lighter, sillier and more memorable, even when a character is being dramatically removed from a scene.
