Super Mario Bros. 2 first released on the NES in 1988, and its course-clear fanfare was re-recorded in richer 16-bit sound for Super Mario All-Stars, the 1993 SNES compilation that remade the early Mario games. Retro gaming channels, speedrunners and meme editors kept the jingle alive on YouTube and Twitch, where it now marks wins, world records and ironic victories alike. It sits naturally beside other short gaming sounds such as the GTA V notification, which creators stack into win and fail compilations.
About this sound
The 16-bit level-clear fanfare from Super Mario Bros. 2 in Super Mario All-Stars. Creators use it for wins, comebacks and funny clutch moments in gaming edits.
This is the short, triumphant level-clear fanfare from the 16-bit Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 2. Bright square-wave brass stabs play a quick major-key melody over a bouncy bassline, lasting just under three seconds before resolving on a satisfying final chord. It is the exact jingle that plays when Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad grabs the crystal ball and finishes a stage. Hearing it triggers an instant rush of childhood nostalgia and a clear you-did-it feeling, which is why editors drop it over wins, comebacks and perfectly timed lucky moments.
