Toad is Mario's loyal mushroom-headed attendant in Nintendo's Mario series, and this Ya-hoo comes from Mario Party 2, the Nintendo 64 party game released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 internationally. In the game Toad hosts and celebrates minigame results, which made his excited shouts a familiar part of multiplayer sessions. Clips were later ripped and shared on soundboards and in edits alongside other Nintendo victory sounds like the zelda item get jingle. Its short length and instant recognition keep it popular for retro gaming reactions today.
