Metroid Fusion was released by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, continuing Samus Aran's story after Super Metroid. The short fanfare heard when Samus appears draws on a long-running musical cue in the Metroid series that signals a major arrival or discovery. Clips of the game spread through forums, Let's Plays and remix videos in the 2000s and 2010s, and the sting survived as a standalone sound because it instantly communicates a heroic entrance to anyone who grew up with the series.
