Iggy Koopa first appeared as one of Bowser's Koopalings in Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1988, and later returned as a boss in the New Super Mario Bros. series. His defeat sounds became familiar through repeated boss fights, where each Koopaling has a distinct cry when beaten. Clips like this and the Mario Jump sound were later shared on soundboards and used in gameplay videos, memes and edits, keeping the short boss defeat moment recognisable well beyond the original battles.
