Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was released by Sega in 1992 for the Genesis and Mega Drive, and its item monitors became one of the series' most recognisable power-up systems. Breaking a monitor granted rings, shields, speed shoes or an extra life, accompanied by this short pop. As retro gameplay clips, remixes and emulator footage spread online, the sound was isolated for use outside the game. It is now shared as a general Pop SFX for reveals and transitions, while longtime fans still link it directly to collecting a power-up in the original levels.

The short TV pop sound effect from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, heard when he grabs a monitor power-up. Creators use it for transitions and retro gaming moments.
This is the brief popping burst heard in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 whenever Sonic breaks open a TV monitor item box to collect a ring, shield or extra life. The sound lasts less than half a second and has a sharp, hollow pop with a tiny electronic snap, like a small bubble bursting through a speaker. It instantly signals a reward being collected and gives any scene a playful retro energy. Viewers familiar with the Genesis era recognise it immediately, even when it is placed over modern footage, because the pop is so short, clean and distinctive.
