The Super Mushroom power-up jingle has roots stretching back to the original Super Mario Bros. in 1985, where the first power-up fanfare introduced the idea that grabbing a mushroom makes Mario grow. New Super Mario Bros. Wii, released for the Wii in 2009, gave the jingle a crisp modern recording that players heard thousands of times across its co-op platforming levels. The sound later became a staple of gaming montages, reaction videos and meme edits, shorthand for any moment of growth, improvement or well-earned reward, and it still shows up whenever creators want a split-second burst of positive energy.
