The sound comes from Super Mario Bros, released by Nintendo in 1985 for the NES, where it plays during the level clear sequence after Mario reaches the flagpole at the end of a stage. Composed as part of the game's iconic chiptune score, the short fanfare became one of the most recognizable success jingles in gaming. As Mario clips were shared in edits, streams and memes, the cue spread beyond the game and became shorthand online for finishing something, unlocking an achievement or winning a round.
