This boing sound is commonly identified online as a Super Mario 64 sound effect from Nintendo's 1996 Nintendo 64 game. It spread through game memes, YouTube edits and short clips where creators wanted a retro, slapstick bounce cue. Its appeal comes from how fast and readable it is: viewers instantly understand a rebound, bonk or springy impact. It still shows up in gaming compilations and meme edits because the Nintendo 64 era sound is recognizable even in a very short clip.
