The Mii Channel launched with the Nintendo Wii in 2006 as the place to build cartoon avatars, and its background music became one of the console's most recognisable sounds. Composed in a relaxed, looping style typical of Wii system music, it spread through YouTube nostalgia videos, streams and meme edits long after the console's peak. Creators now reuse it alongside other Nintendo sounds like Mario Jump to signal waiting, loading or a calm intermission, and its association with late night menu browsing gives the 3am framing its joke.
