Super Mario 64 launched for the Nintendo 64 in 1996 and introduced Mario in fully three-dimensional worlds, with Charles Martinet voicing the character. The Yahoo shout became one of his most recognisable calls, heard when Mario performs certain jumps and moves. As gameplay videos, remixes and memes spread online, the short cheer travelled far beyond the original game and became shorthand for excitement and success. It remains popular because it is instantly recognisable, upbeat and short enough to drop into almost any edit.
