About this sound

✦ AI

The classic chime from Nintendo's Super Mario games, a bright two-note ding heard when a coin is collected. Creators use it for wins and funny rewards.

This is the instantly recognisable coin sound from the Super Mario games, a short, bright, two-note chime that rises in pitch and ends with a clean, sparkling ring. It lasts less than a second, yet it carries a whole feeling of success, because players have heard it thousands of times after jumping, collecting and completing a level. When it drops in a video, viewers immediately understand that something good has just happened, whether it is a small win, a clever joke landing, or a reward finally being claimed, and that shared nostalgia makes the moment feel satisfying and playful.

The coin chime first appeared in Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. in 1985, sounding whenever Mario collected a coin in the game. It returned in almost every later Mario title, from the 2D platformers to modern 3D adventures, so several generations of players learned to associate it with progress and reward. As gameplay clips, reaction videos and short-form edits spread online, the short sound became a shorthand for success outside games too, and its bright, instantly familiar tone keeps it useful for creators today.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the chime on the frame where money, points or a prize appears on screen, and let it ring alone for a beat before music returns. Avoid looping it in one clip, because the charm fades fast and the joke stops feeling like a reward.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Celebrating a win in a gaming montage.
  • Marking a payment or sale in a vlog.
  • Rewarding a correct answer in a quiz video.
  • Punctuating a joke about getting rich quick.
