The Game Boy Color startup sound from the Nintendo handheld console, the bright two-note chime that plays on power on and is used for retro gaming edits.

This is the short power-on chime heard when a Game Boy Color is switched on, lasting just over two seconds. It begins with a low, soft electronic tone that quickly rises into a bright, clear ping, creating that familiar Nintendo ding. The sound is clean, simple and instantly nostalgic, even though it is only two notes. Hearing it immediately signals that a game is about to start, which makes it feel cheerful and anticipatory. For many players it recalls handheld gaming in the late 1990s, car journeys, and swapping cartridges with friends.

The Game Boy Color was released by Nintendo in 1998 as the color successor to the original Game Boy, and its startup chime was heard during the boot screen every time the handheld was powered on. The brief sequence played while the Nintendo logo appeared, making the two notes inseparable from starting a game. As emulation, retro collecting and gaming videos grew online, recordings of the chime circulated separately as a nostalgic cue alongside other game effects like the Minecraft damage sound. It is still widely recognised by players who grew up with the system.
