With no confirmed original source, this short effect belongs to the generic power up sounds editors keep in sound libraries for games and videos. It spread through meme edits, gaming montages and short form clips where a fast audio cue is needed to sell strength or activation. Creators often layer it with impacts like Punch Sound or pair it with playful game cues such as Mario Jump. Its sub second length makes it easy to drop in without covering dialogue, which is why it remains a go to choice for transformations and reveals.
