Super Smash Bros Melee was released for the GameCube in 2001, developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. Its single player stadium modes, including Home Run Contest and Target Test, tracked best distances, times and scores, and breaking one triggered this announcer call. Announcer Jeff Manning voiced the English version, giving records and victories their distinctive dramatic delivery. Clips of Melee announcements later spread through gaming videos and soundboards, where this short line became a reusable celebration for any new personal best, in games and beyond.

The phrase 'A new record!' lands with rising excitement and a short celebratory pause, making even a small improvement feel like a major achievement. It captures the arcade energy of the game's stadium modes, where beating your own distance or time by a fraction still counted.
