Pikmin was released by Nintendo for the GameCube in 2001, following Captain Olimar after he crash-lands on a strange planet and has 30 days to recover the scattered parts of his ship before his life support fails. The collection jingle became one of the game's most recognisable cues because players heard it at every major milestone. As Pikmin clips, speedruns and Nintendo nostalgia edits spread online, the fanfare was lifted as a standalone reward sound and reused far beyond the original game.
