The coin sound first appeared in Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, composed as part of the game's iconic 8-bit audio by Koji Kondo. Every time Mario or Luigi collected a coin, the same two-note chime played, and collecting 100 coins earned an extra life. The effect carried through later Mario games on new consoles with cleaner samples but the same melody. Its constant reuse in gameplay videos, remixes and memes has made it one of the most recognised reward sounds in gaming history.
About this sound
The classic Mario coin sound effect from the Super Mario games, a bright two-note chime played when Mario collects a gold coin in gameplay and memes.
This is the short, high-pitched coin collection chime from the Super Mario series, built from two quick ascending electronic notes. It lasts just a couple of seconds but is instantly recognisable, with a bright, sparkly tone that feels like a tiny reward. In videos it signals success, a bonus, or something valuable being found, giving the viewer a quick hit of satisfaction. Because it is so clean and cheerful, it works even without visuals, instantly bringing to mind gold coins, points increasing, and classic platformer gameplay.
