About this sound

Luigi's stretched "ow-wowowowowowow" hurt voice clip from Mario Kart 64, often used in gaming edits, fail moments and retro Nintendo memes.

This clip is one of Luigi's classic pain sounds from Mario Kart 64, delivered as a long, wobbly "ow-wowowowowowow" yelp. It is short, cartoony and instantly readable, with that bright Nintendo 64-era voice style that makes even a crash sound funny instead of harsh. In a video, it works like a playful reaction to getting hit, losing control or making a mistake at the worst moment. The sound lands fast, so it adds comic frustration without interrupting the pacing of a quick edit or gameplay highlight.

Pro tip

Drop this right on the frame of a spin-out, shell hit or sudden fail, then cut immediately to the aftermath. It works best with retro gameplay footage or exaggerated wipeouts, and can feel too silly under serious or cinematic scenes.

How people use it

Reacting to a crash in Mario Kart clips.
Punctuating a sudden fail in gaming montages.
Adding a goofy pain cue to meme edits.
Highlighting a bad decision in retro game videos.
