Wario debuted in Super Mario Land 2 in 1992 as Mario's greedy rival, and his exaggerated laugh quickly became one of his defining traits across Mario Kart, Mario Party and WarioWare games. Clips of the cackle, including the Mario Kart 64 era voice work, were later lifted into soundboards and video edits online. Because the laugh signals greed and triumph in under four seconds, it survived as a reusable reaction for gaming memes, remixes and comedic villain reveals long after the original games.
