Dynasty Warriors 2 was released for PlayStation 2 in 2000 by Koei, as the second entry in the hack-and-slash series inspired by the Three Kingdoms era. Its victory music plays when a player completes a stage, rewarding a long battle with a short burst of orchestral celebration. The clip has since been shared by retro gaming fans and video editors who recognise it instantly from the early PlayStation 2 era. It endures because that fanfare is tied to a clear moment of success.
