Mario Paint was released by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo in 1992 as a creative tool for drawing, animation and music making with the SNES Mouse. Its sound composer featured playful samples instead of traditional instruments, including animal noises, instruments and a baby cry that players could place at different pitches. The low pitched version leans into that pitch shifting feature. Decades later the samples circulate in remixes, soundboards and meme edits, kept alive by nostalgia for early Nintendo software and the humour of hearing a familiar sample slowed down.
