About this sound

The classic Mario 'Yahoo' jump voice clip from Super Mario 64, used in memes, edits and game videos for sudden movement, wins or goofy reveals.

This sound is the short, bright 'Yahoo!' voice line heard when Mario makes one of his bigger jumps in Super Mario 64. It is punchy, cheerful and instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up with Nintendo platformers. Because the clip lasts under a second, it lands fast and clean in edits without covering dialogue or music. Creators use it to add a playful burst of energy, usually when something pops onto screen, a character takes off, or a joke needs an old-school game feel.

The clip comes from Super Mario 64, Nintendo's landmark 3D platformer released for the Nintendo 64 in 1996. Mario's upbeat jump sounds became memorable because players heard them constantly while learning the game's movement. Over time, the 'Yahoo' line spread beyond gameplay into meme edits, short videos and remix culture, where it signals motion, success or a cartoonish burst of momentum. It is still popular because the sound is short, clean and tied to one of the most recognizable game characters ever.

Pro Tip for Usage

Cut this right on the first frame of a jump, zoom, or item reveal, then leave a tiny beat after it for the visual gag to breathe. It works best dry and loud; stacking extra meme sounds on top usually weakens the clean Mario hit.

Use Cases

  • Adding a playful jump cue in gaming montages.
  • Punching up a sudden zoom or character launch.
  • Highlighting a small win in retro game edits.
  • Turning a goofy reveal into a nostalgic joke.
