About the tune

The melody was from the first Super Mario Bros. game that ever launched. Still considered a classic by many, this game was released in the 1980s for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game gave players different hints through its music and sound effects. This is perhaps why the tune is so iconic. It has been integrated into the gameplay to the point where it is not separable from the game, as far as popular culture is concerned.

The game has been one of the most played video games in the history of video games. It even paved the way for a very long-running franchise and for Mario to be one of the most sought-after mascots out there.

All this is pretty evident from the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie as well. It’s no wonder why the two guys in the video were excited. They knew they had just witnessed something that would definitely go viral on the internet.
