The sound comes from Super Mario World, released by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 in Japan and 1991 in other regions. Its coin pickup chime became one of the most recognizable reward sounds in 16-bit games. Outside the game, creators have reused it in retro gaming videos, meme edits and streams whenever something is earned, collected or counted, because the sound is short, familiar and instantly communicates a successful pickup.

This is the short, bright coin collection sound from Super Mario World, the 16-bit Mario platformer. It plays as a crisp, upbeat chime with a fast attack and clean finish, so it instantly reads as a reward or successful pickup. Because the clip is so brief, it works well as a punchy accent without covering dialogue or other effects. Viewers usually associate it with old-school Nintendo games, making it a simple way to add retro energy, progress and a satisfying little win to a moment.
