Super Mario Sunshine was released by Nintendo for the GameCube in 2002, sending Mario to the tropical Isle Delfino to clean up graffiti and restore order. When Mario loses his remaining health, the game ends the attempt with this distinctive game over theme, a sharp contrast to the sunny, upbeat soundtrack heard throughout the island. Clips of the jingle later spread through gameplay videos, fail compilations and memes, where its instantly recognisable sadness became shorthand for losing. It remains popular because fans associate it directly with a beloved GameCube classic.
