Super Castlevania IV was released by Konami for the Super Nintendo in 1991, following Simon Belmont through Dracula's castle in a reimagining of the original Castlevania. Its soundtrack reused and expanded themes from earlier games, and the stage clear cue became one of its most recognisable short motifs. As retro gameplay videos, speedruns and soundboards grew online, players isolated the few-second fanfare for instant use outside the game. It remains popular because it communicates a completed level with unmistakable 16-bit triumph.
