{{trope}}
Let's face it now, you can't make a good game without this trope. Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}|the Most Wonderful Sound]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
----
* [[Pac-Man|Paku-paku-paku-paku-paku-paku-paku...]]
** Also commonly rendered as "waka-waka-waka-waka"
Line 10:
* ''[[Soul Series]]'':
** The shattering sound of a successful Soul Crush in SC4. '''''<big>[[Limit Break|CRITICAL]] [[One-Hit Kill|FINISH]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|TIME,]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BITCHES!]]</big>''''' ...That is, if you aren't [[Oh Crap|on the]] [[This Is Gonna Suck|receiving]] [[One-Hit Kill|end]]...
** [[Big Bad|Nightmare]] is probably this trope personified. "More...''[[Large Ham|NEED MORE]] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|SOOOUUULS,]]''" and "I will show you...[[Meaningful Name|the greatest nightmare!]]" come to mind.
** Siegfried's voice [[Crispin Freeman|is]] [[Roger Craig Smith|a Most Wonderful Sound]] altogether.
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'':
{{quote|"Carrier has arrived."
"Battlecruiser... operational."
Line 110:
** The sound of an [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Obelisk of Light]] charging up and firing.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IYhHSndJoE Welcome back commander.]
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]: [[Dawn of War]]''
{{quote|"[[Tank Goodness|Ready to unleash eleven barrels of hell!]]"<br />
"[[Psychic Powers|WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOM!!!]]"<br />
Line 531:
** Bombardment Available.
** (Ion or Hypervelocity) Cannon... Firing.
** Enemy base will be in range in <nowiki><</nowiki>time>/Enemy base in range.
** The sound of either Death Star about to fire.
* ''[[Company of Heroes]]'', as either Wermachet Terror Doctrine or Panzer Elite Tank Destroyers Tactics: "An elite heavy panzer is now available, deploy at your convenience." The sound of said elite panzer ''exploding'' has the same effect on the Allied players. The sound of a Calliope firing its rocket battery or a P-51 Mustang dropping bombs also tend to be favourites for American players.
Line 537:
** "Pershing ''ready''." or, better yet, "Like a steel ghost..."
** "Artillery, firing for effect."
** The distinct, unmistakable ''katakatakata'' of Thompson submachine guns, which signifies the [[Ranger]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|submachine gun upgrade]]. [[Nightmare Fuel]] for Axis players.
** And to counter that the German's have these weapons of mass-destruction:
{{quote|'''Axis Company Commander:''' ''Elite Panzer Deployed.'' (Mind you that said Elite Panzer is either a Tiger Ace or King Tiger
Line 596:
** '''BAHNDIT REVOLVAH!''' '''[[Kill It with Fire|GAHNFRAHME!]]''' '''[[Limit Break|DRAGHAN INSTAHL!]]'''
** ''[[Musical Theme Naming|RAIDO ZA LIGHTNINGUUUU!]]''
** [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|"The Wheel of Fate is turning! Rebel 1...ACTION!"]]
** Distortion '''''FINISH!'''''
** "FU-RIN-ZA-KAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
Line 780:
* [[Wave Motion Gun|Moonstone Cannon]], ''[[Skies of Arcadia|FIRE!]]''
* ''[[Descent]]'': The "Doink!" sound the game makes in multiplayer when an opponent dies.
* The chime for earning a trophy on the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]
* ''[[Ray Force]]'': "This is the control tower. Make a left turn, over.
* The PING-WHOOOOSH! sound after hitting a ball with Aluminum Power in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Baseball]]'', leading to some [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
Line 799:
* The sound of a K.O. in any fighting game.
* The "ding-a-doo" chime in [[Sierra]] adventure games (such as ''[[Space Quest]]'') telling you you've done something right.
* The sounds in ''[[SagaSaGa Frontier]]'' that play when you learn a new attack (accompanied by an [[Idea Bulb]]) and when 2 or more of your characters have just started up a [[Combination Attack]]. Sadly, the latter sound is ruined a bit by the fact that your ENEMIES can do it too (with the exact same sound, naturally), and when they do it, [[This Is Gonna Suck|it usually means you're screwed]].
* The sound of the H-weapon in ''[[Contra|Contra III]]''.
** Also the first few notes of the first stage BGM.
Line 984:
* [[God of War (series)|"Let the rage of the Titans fuel your blades, Kratos."]]
** The Rage of Sparta theme from the third game. When that theme starts playing, it's time for Kratos to FUCK SOMEBODY UP.
* [[Fire Emblem|"RRRRRRRRRRRAOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR! SHHIIIING! -Thwack-"]] [[Game Breaker|Narga.]] Also [[Hell Is That Noise]] at the same time, cause as wonderful as it is to hear, cause it's the best weapon in the game and it's only on your side and it defines "[[Game Breaker]]", [[Nightmare Fuel|it's still creepy as hell]]. Alternatively if you don't mind a little [[Brother-Sister Incest]], "RRRRRRRRRRRAOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR! SHHIIIING! [[Critical Hit|-Thwunk-]] [[TheresThere Is No Kill Like Overkill|Tsssheeew.]]" is much better.
** Also from [[Fire Emblem]], the sounds when a critical or skill activates (provided it's for your character...)
* The high-pitched whine of [[Half Life|Combine radio chatter]] flatlining is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3k37j_wc4#t=1m1s pretty damn satisifying]. Almost as wonderful is the cry of the last Combine in the squad yelling "OUTBREAK OUTBREAK OUTBREAK!"
Line 1,102:
* [[Myth]] just fought a pretty hard battle most of your troops are dead and then...
{{quote|new units recievied}}
* The level-up sound in [[RunescapeRuneScape]]. It's so satisfying to hear those fireworks after all that training.
** Whenever your Ring of Wealth affects a drop, a clinking coin sound is heard. It's ''extremely'' satisfying to hear.
* The audio track "Blameless Thoughts" in ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]''. It plays on your way out of any dungeon after you've beaten the boss and taken (or returned to Odin) the artifacts therein, and replaces the existing background music. It's the game's way of saying, "Yeah, Lenneth just made this place her bitch," and it's damn satisfying to walk out of the clear halls of a dungeon with this playing.
Line 1,164:
* ''[[Child of Eden]]'', when you defeat the [[Final Boss]]: {{spoiler|''[[Awesome Music|"Let's get away flyyyyy awayyyyy / I found the path to paradise / Shining spiral of gold / Take my hand, fly away aaaand..."]]''}}
* [[X (video game)|Ship Computer Control Transferred]]. Basically translates to "Yay! New ship!". Good when it's a bigger ship than what you've got, or a transport ship when you're looking to get in on trading. Still good if it's smaller as you could always [[Vendor Trash|just sell it at the nearest shipyard.]]
* The piano chord you get in [[LAL.A. Noire]] when picking the correct choice in an interrogation.
* Any of the finisher taunts in ''[[Baten Kaitos]]''. The voice acting is terrible, but that fails to make it any less satisfying.
** "I'll show you what a man of the sky can do!"
Line 1,192:
* In the ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow]]'' series. The "Sssssssssss DING!" noise that signals a soul being released from a monster. It means that you can stop grinding that one monster over and over again, because you just got a new toy to play with.
* From [[Ace Combat]] 6: "Garuda Team, thought you could use some cover!" The sound that follows is your Allied Support meter rocketing up to the maximum level as whole swarms of planes move in to support your vastly-outnumbered squadron, allowing you to call in massive counter-strikes.
* The PSI activation noise and the triumphant new-PSI-learned jingle in ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' and ''[[Mother 3]]''.
* The FUS RO DAH! spell from ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]''.
* The buzzing of the variometer announcing a rising thermal when flying a glider in ''[[Microsoft Flight Simulator]]''.
Line 1,206:
* Anytime [[Tara Platt|Green Heart]] says something in ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Hyperdimension Neptunia.]]''
* In ''[[Dota 2]], whenever you kill Storm spirit, the king of [[Most Annoying Sound]], you can hear a hero say, "SHUT UP, STORM SPIRIT."
* The bell-ringing to signify the end of the round in ''[[Kinnikuman: Muscle Fight]]'' is wonderful because it shows the player's domination over their opponent.
