Super Mario World was released by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 in Japan and 1991 in North America, reworking the familiar Mario death theme from Super Mario Bros into a brighter SNES arrangement. As gameplay clips, remixes and meme edits spread online, the jingle escaped the game and became shorthand for any small, embarrassing failure. Like the Roblox oof, it is now used far beyond its original context, because a single short tune instantly tells viewers someone messed up, died or lost, without needing any explanation at all.
