Mario Kart 64, first released for the Nintendo 64 in 1996, gave each racer a set of short voice clips that played during races and after victories, and Luigi's number-one line became one of his most quoted boasts. As retro Nintendo clips were ripped and shared on soundboards, the line travelled beyond the game into gaming montages, reaction videos and short-form edits, where its short length made it easy to drop over a win. It remains popular because it is instantly tied to Mario Kart, sounds unmistakably like Luigi, and turns a first place into a playful, nostalgic celebration.
