Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games brought Nintendo and Sega characters together in Olympic-style events, and its menu and item moments became familiar to Wii players. Short voice lines from the games were later clipped and shared on soundboards, where this item celebration stood out because it is instantly recognisable even out of context. It continues to circulate among gaming creators and meme editors who want a quick, nostalgic payoff for a reward, rather than a generic success jingle.
