Mario Kart 64 was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1996 in Japan and 1997 internationally, and it gave Luigi a set of short voice clips performed for his in-race actions. The Ho-hoh clip plays during item throws and became one of his most recognisable sounds from that era. As Mario Kart clips and soundboards spread online, fans isolated the vocalisation from gameplay and began using it on its own for throws, taunts and jokes. Its brevity and clear link to Luigi keep it popular in retro gaming edits today.

Luigi's short Ho-hoh laugh from Mario Kart 64 when he throws an item, used as a playful Nintendo sound effect for gaming clips, memes and video edits.
This is Luigi's quick, high-pitched Ho-hoh vocalisation from Mario Kart 64, heard the moment he throws an item at another racer. The delivery is bright, cheeky and slightly mischievous, with a rising bounce that makes a small action feel like a taunt. At just over a second, it lands instantly without needing any context, so viewers recognise the character and the playful rivalry straight away. It works because Luigi is usually the nervous brother, and this confident little laugh flips that expectation for a brief, funny payoff in a race or edit.
