Subway Surfers launched in 2012 as an endless runner, and its upbeat theme became familiar to millions of mobile players. Bass boosted edits later spread on YouTube and soundboards, where creators exaggerated the low end for comic effect. This version is credited to Random Gn0m3 under the title Subway Surfers Bass Boosted, and it follows the same trend as the NFL Bass Boosted edits. The clip stays popular because the tune is recognisable in a second, while the heavy boost signals a meme, a fail, or an overblown victory.
