About this sound

The Super Mario 64 star sound effect from collecting a Power Star, the bright sparkly jingle players drop for victories and big unlock moments.

This is the Power Star jingle from Super Mario 64, played the moment Mario collects a star and the game pauses for his little celebration. It starts with a quick rising sparkle of notes and lands on a bright, triumphant finish that feels instantly rewarding. The sound is short, clean and unmistakably Nintendo, with that cheerful 1990s game polish. Hearing it signals success without needing any words, which is why it cuts through edits so well and makes even a tiny achievement feel like a major level complete moment.

Pro tip

Place it right on the frame where the item, text or result appears, and let the full five seconds play without trimming the tail. Duck background music underneath so the sparkle stays clear, and avoid layering other win jingles on top.
