Roy, the young lord from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, appears as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, released for Nintendo Switch in 2018. The Star KO is a long-running Smash Bros mechanic for knockouts off the top of the stage, where the defeated fighter shrinks into a twinkling star instead of flying off sideways. Clips of individual fighter KOs circulate among Smash players and editors, who reuse them to mark dramatic finishes in montages, reaction videos and memes, keeping the distinct upward-launch sound familiar even outside a match.

The Star KO sound for Roy in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, with the high launch whoosh and twinkling finish when he is knocked off the top of the stage.
This clip captures the moment Roy is launched straight off the top of the stage in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, triggering the game's Star KO. It opens with a sharp, rising launch rush as he is sent flying, then shifts into a bright, twinkling shimmer as he disappears into the distance like a distant star. The effect is instantly recognisable to Smash players because it signals a clean, dramatic knockout rather than a side or bottom blast. It feels sudden, satisfying and slightly comical, turning a heavy hit into a light, cartoonish send-off that works perfectly for highlighting a big play or a surprising defeat.
