EarthBound is a Super Nintendo role-playing game first released in Japan in 1994 and in North America in 1995, known for its quirky modern setting and offbeat humour. Its healing chime comes from the game's battle and recovery system, where restoring health is a small but satisfying moment after a difficult encounter. As EarthBound built a devoted cult following through re-releases and online playthroughs, short clips like this one became shorthand for recovery and relief, and creators still reuse it to signal a character bouncing back.
