EarthBound was released for the Super Nintendo as Mother 2 in Japan in 1994 and in North America in 1995. Its battle system gave attacks a small chance to become a SMAAAASH, a critical hit dealing far more damage than normal, announced with bold on-screen text and this crashing sound. As EarthBound built a devoted cult following through replays, emulation and online video, the effect became shorthand among fans for any absurdly powerful strike, and editors began lifting it for non-RPG clips.

The critical hit sound effect from EarthBound on the SNES, a sharp explosive crash played for SMAAAASH hits and reused in retro gaming edits.
This is the critical hit effect from EarthBound, triggered when an attack lands for massively increased damage. In game it arrives with a sudden, distorted crash and screen shake as the word SMAAAASH flashes, making an ordinary turn feel enormous. The sound itself is short, punchy and abrasive, closer to an explosion than a weapon swing. That contrast is why it lands so well outside the game too. Dropped over a clip, it instantly signals an overpowered hit, a lucky break or a joke impact that is far bigger than it should be.
