Super Mario 64, released by Nintendo in 1996, introduced Mario in full 3D and gave his voice a much larger role, with Charles Martinet performing the character's expressive exclamations. 'Mamma Mia' became one of his most quoted catchphrases, instantly tied to Mario's cheerful Italian persona. As clips from the game spread through YouTube, TikTok and meme edits, the short line was lifted out of gameplay and reused as a standalone reaction, much like the Mario Jump sound. Its brevity and nostalgia keep it useful for creators today.
