Mario's Final Smash, known as Mario Finale, comes from Nintendo's Super Smash Bros series, where Final Smashes were introduced in Super Smash Bros Brawl in 2008 as powerful finishing attacks. When Mario triggers it, he unleashes a sweeping barrage of fireballs accompanied by his rising shout. The move returned in later Smash games, keeping the same dramatic build and payoff. Because the shout is so recognisable, short clips of it spread across gameplay videos, edits and soundboards as shorthand for a decisive, game-winning moment.
About this sound
Mario's Final Smash sound from Super Smash Bros, with his rising cry before the fireball barrage. Gamers use it for big wins, comebacks and hype edits.
This is Mario's Final Smash unleashed in Super Smash Bros, a brief burst of cartoon combat energy lasting just over two seconds. It opens with his stretched, rising battle cry, the 'hiyya' that builds in pitch and urgency, then crashes into a flurry of hits as fireballs and impact sounds pile up. The effect is instantly triumphant and over the top, like a finishing move landing at exactly the right moment. Even without the picture, listeners recognise the rising shout and frantic finish as a signal that something big, decisive and a little ridiculous has just happened.
