Donkey Kong 64 was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and built its progression around collecting Golden Bananas hidden across its worlds. The short exclamation became one of the game's most quoted reward cues because it plays at the exact moment of success. As retro gameplay clips, remixes and meme edits spread on video platforms in the 2000s and 2010s, the line detached from the game itself and became shorthand online for any satisfying find, lucky drop or over the top celebration of a tiny prize.
