Marx first appeared as the final boss in Kirby Super Star, released for the Super Nintendo in 1996, where his deceptive wish to Nova sets up the Milky Way Wishes finale. His laugh became a staple clip in Kirby fan videos, remixes and soundboards because it captures the character in barely a second, shifting from cute helper to cosmic villain. The sound kept circulating through YouTube edits, Discord servers and meme compilations, and searchers often look for it under the simpler name kirby laugh.
