The coin sound first appeared in Super Mario Bros., released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, where it played every time Mario collected a coin. As Mario became one of the most recognisable characters in gaming, the short chime travelled with him into later games, cartoons, merchandise and online culture. It later spread through gameplay videos, reaction clips, memes and livestreams, where creators adopted it as shorthand for earning, winning or getting paid. Its simplicity and instant recognition keep it useful decades later.

The classic Mario coin sound effect from Super Mario Bros, a bright chime played when he collects a coin. Perfect for wins, rewards and payoffs in videos.
This is the short, instantly recognisable chime that plays in Super Mario games when Mario grabs a coin, just two bright, metallic notes rising in pitch, the second slightly higher and more triumphant than the first. Lasting less than a second, it is clean, cheerful and surprisingly satisfying, with a sparkling, almost bell-like tone that cuts through dialogue and music without sounding harsh. For viewers, it works like a tiny reward signal, instantly suggesting success, money, a bonus or a clever move, and it can turn an ordinary moment into something that feels like a small victory.
