The stage clear jingle comes from Sunset Riders, Konami’s Western themed run and gun released in arcades in 1991 and later ported to the Super Nintendo. Its music was composed by Motoaki Furukawa and Kenichiro Fukui, who packed the soundtrack with saloon style tunes that matched the cowboy action. The jingle plays every time a player finishes a stage, which is why longtime fans recognise it instantly. It has spread through retro gaming videos, speedruns and soundboards, where it marks small victories with big frontier fanfare.
