About this sound

✦ AI

The classic coin collect sound effect from the Super Mario games, a bright two-note chime used in videos, streams and edits to celebrate a win or reward.

The Mario coin collect sound is a short, sparkling two-note chime that instantly signals a reward in the Super Mario games. It opens with a high, clear ping and rises to a brighter second note, creating a cheerful ding that feels satisfying even in under a second. Players hear it every time Mario grabs a coin, so it carries a strong sense of achievement, progress and nostalgia. In videos, that familiar ring makes a small moment feel like a victory, turning a simple action into a playful celebration that viewers recognise immediately.

The coin sound comes from Nintendo's Super Mario series, first heard when players collected coins in the original Super Mario Bros. game in 1985. As Mario became one of the most recognisable video game characters in the world, the chime travelled with him through sequels, handheld games and remakes, becoming shorthand for scoring and success. Outside games, streamers, YouTubers and meme makers adopted it as a quick audio cue for rewards, wins and funny payoffs, which is why it still appears in edits decades after its debut.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the chime exactly on the frame where a coin or prize appears, and let it ring alone without music underneath. Pair it with a quick zoom or pop animation, but avoid playing it repeatedly, as the charm fades when it stacks back to back.

  • Celebrating a win in a gaming highlight video.
