Mega Man X launched for the Super Nintendo in 1993 from Capcom, introducing X as a more mature successor to the original Mega Man. After each of the eight Maverick boss fights, the game cuts to a dedicated weapon get screen where this jingle plays while the new ability is demonstrated. The sequence became a ritual for players, and clips of it later spread through gaming forums, video edits and soundboards. It remains popular because the melody instantly communicates an upgrade without needing any explanation.
