Mega Man, known as Rockman in Japan, is a Capcom platform game series that began on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987. Its stages end with short musical cues, and the victory fanfare became one of the most recognisable sounds in the franchise as sequels and ports kept the chiptune style. Clips of the jingle spread through gameplay videos, remixes and soundboards, where its instantly readable meaning made it useful far beyond the games. It remains popular because retro game audio conveys triumph quickly and carries strong nostalgia for longtime players.
