The 1UP effect comes from Super Mario Bros., released by Nintendo for the NES in 1985, where collecting a green 1UP Mushroom or reaching a score milestone granted Mario another life. Composed as part of Koji Kondo's original score, the quick ascending jingle became one of gaming's most familiar reward cues. As Mario games spread across consoles and into memes, stream highlights, and short videos, the sound moved beyond Nintendo titles and became universal shorthand for earning a bonus, respawning, or succeeding against the odds.

The classic Super Mario 1UP sound effect from Nintendo games, the bright chime played when Mario gains an extra life and used for wins and level ups.
This is the short, instantly recognizable chime that plays in Super Mario games when the player earns a 1UP and an extra life. It is a fast rising arpeggio of bright, cheerful notes that lasts just over a second, with a clean retro video game tone. The sound feels rewarding and triumphant even out of context, turning a small moment into a clear win. Viewers hear it as good news, progress, or a lucky bonus, which is why editors use it to punctuate achievements, power ups, and positive reveals.
