Jetpack Joyride is a 2011 endless runner from Australian developer Halfbrick Studios, starring Barry Steakfries as he escapes a secret laboratory using a machine-gun jetpack. The game became a huge hit on mobile, and its bright, fast theme became closely linked with the character and his frantic flights. As short-form video grew, creators began reusing the music outside the game for energetic edits, speed montages and comedy clips, where the familiar melody instantly suggests arcade chaos. That instant recognition is why it still appears in gaming videos and memes more than a decade later.
