The clip comes from Mario Party 2, the Nintendo 64 party game released in Japan in 1998 and internationally in 2000, where Mario's short victory lines played after mini games. Voiced by Charles Martinet, the yippee and laugh became shorthand for Nintendo celebration, shared alongside sounds like the Zelda - Item Get jingle in retro gaming edits. As Mario Party clips circulated on soundboards and in streams, this line stayed popular because it signals a win instantly without needing any visual context or explanation for players who grew up with the series.
