The fanfare comes from Banjo-Kazooie, Rare's 1998 platform game for the Nintendo 64, with music by Grant Kirkhope. In the game, players collect musical notes scattered through the worlds and spend them to open Note Doors blocking progress to new areas, with this short jingle marking each successful opening. The sound later circulated through game soundboards, retro gaming clips and nostalgia edits, where its cheerful, instantly recognizable reward cue made it useful far beyond the original game. It endures because it communicates progress and success in just a few seconds.
