The battle music comes from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, released for the Super Nintendo in 1996 and developed by Square with Nintendo. Composed by Yoko Shimomura, the fight theme became one of the game's most remembered tracks thanks to its bouncy melody and constant forward motion. After the 2023 remake introduced the game to a new audience, clips of the theme spread widely in streams, edits and soundboards, where it is now used as shorthand for a playful turn based battle about to start.
