The end-credits music comes from Nintendo's Super Mario series, the platforming franchise that began with Super Mario Bros. in 1985 and became one of gaming's most recognisable properties. Closing themes like this one became ritual listening for players who associated them with finally conquering a game. Online, the jingle spread through gaming videos, speedrun finales and meme edits, where its cheerful tone marks a satisfying conclusion. It endures because few sounds say 'you did it' as instantly as a Mario fanfare.
