About this sound

The Pikmin chimes sound from Nintendo's strategy games, a bright sparkling jingle people use for cute discoveries, rewards and magical moments online.

This is the short, sparkling chime sequence heard in the Pikmin games when something delightful happens. A cluster of high, bell-like notes twinkles upward in just over a second, clean and cheerful, like tiny glass bells being tapped in quick succession. It carries the same innocent, curious energy as the Pikmin themselves, instantly signalling wonder, success or a small reward. Listeners associate it with finding treasure, completing a task or discovering something cute, which is why the sound feels uplifting without being loud or dramatic and works even at low volume.

Pro tip

Place the Pikmin chimes right as a cute object, pet or find appears on screen, not before it. Keep the original game audio low underneath so the twinkle stays clear, and avoid stacking it with other sparkle effects or it loses its charm.
