The short game over jingle from Super Mario Bros. 2 that plays when Mario dies, used in videos and memes to mark a funny failure or a sudden loss.

This is the brief, descending death jingle from Super Mario Bros. 2, a short chiptune phrase that drops in pitch and ends on a flat, final note. It lasts only a few seconds, but its simple, melancholy melody is instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up with retro Nintendo games. Hearing it immediately signals that a character has lost a life, a run has ended, or a plan has collapsed. In edits it turns a small mistake into a dramatic defeat, giving viewers a shared, nostalgic cue that the moment is over before it even needs explaining.

Super Mario Bros. 2 was released by Nintendo in 1988 as the follow-up to the original Super Mario Bros., reworking the Japanese game Doki Doki Panic into a Mario adventure. Its short death theme plays when a player loses a life, and the tune has stayed in players' memories long after the 8-bit era ended. As retro gameplay clips, fail compilations, and short-form edits spread online, the jingle became a shorthand for losing, making it a natural choice whenever a creator wants an instantly understood failure cue.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

Drop it right after the failed jump, missed shot, or wrong answer, then cut to a black screen or a slow zoom on the player's face. Keep the original jingle untouched and avoid layering it over dialogue, so its final note lands as the punchline.
