This sound is associated with Yoshi’s tongue action in Super Mario World, the SNES platform game that introduced Yoshi to many players. Retro gaming fans kept using the effect in clips, remixes and memes because its short 16-bit snap is easy to recognise even outside the game. It still shows up in video edits whenever someone wants a playful cue for catching, eating or pulling something in quickly, especially in Nintendo-themed content and nostalgic game compilations.
