Super Mario Bros Die Sound Effect

This is the iconic death jingle from the original Super Mario Bros., played when Mario runs out of time or takes a hit. It's a short, descending chiptune melody built on the NES's classic square-wave synth, ending on a low, deflated note that instantly signals a lost life. Instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up with the game, it works well in retro gaming videos, streams, fail montages, and comedic edits.
