{{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:
* [[
** Also commonly rendered as "waka-waka-waka-waka"
** In ''Championship Edition DX'', the sound of tens of ghost being eaten in a very short succession is considered very satisfying.
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]] [[
** Siegfried's voice [[Crispin Freeman|is]] [[Roger Craig Smith|a Most Wonderful Sound]] altogether.

*** (This is of course just a drawn-out, more dramatic version of the “DA-NA-NA-NAAAAAAAAAA!” sound referred to above.)
** The "you've just solved a puzzle!" eight-note jingle. It even appears in ''[[
** This troper loves the snapping "pow!" sound made in ''[[The Legend of Zelda:
** The dimension-changing sound in ''Zelda 3''.
*** The Duck Flute Song when all seems lost...

** Who can not love that little jingle that plays when the boss you're fighting is stunned, allowing you to hack and slash at it?
*** Oh yes. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaEhS-tHqn0 Hear it at 1:54 and weep.]
** Don't forget every noise [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
*** Amen. [[Stop Helping Me!|ESPECIALLY]] [[Fetish Fuel|the]] [[Stop Helping Me!|screams]].
**** Hey, at least she's better than [[Nightmare Fuel|Navi]].
*** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
** The Spirit Train's chugging in the title of ''Spirit Tracks''.
** In Twilight Princess, the sound of Midna's B (for the Wii) attack when you're in wolf form. There's just something satisfying about the sound of jumping through multiple enemies in a row.
** ''[[Sword Beam|Zrackow!]]''
*** ''[[The Legend of Zelda:
** The Gold Skulltula token fanfare.
** How 'bout the noise bosses make when they take damage in the 2D games?
Line 191:
* Bonk-series have some of these. Who doesn't love that booming, high-sirened sound when Bonk eats a slab of spicy meat and [[Your Head Asplode|his head explodes away?]]
** Not to mention that loud BOOM-sound that can be heard when [[Use Your Head|you hit the enemy]] in ''Bonk's Revenge''. ''Especially if you fall on them head on.''
* The [[Metal Gear|CODEC sound]] always seems to get a reaction. The "Video Games Live" concert took advantage of this, as did the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' trailer that introduced Snake.
** Interestingly, this is also an entry in the [[Most Annoying Sound]] trope. Particularly due to the second Solid game, where the call is usually your girlfriend calling to whine at you.
** Everything David Hayter has to say, with special mention to his various reactions to food in Snake Eater. ''"Tasty,"'' indeed.
* The Hammer theme, from ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', most recently in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. No matter how great the music for the current stage is, no one seems to mind when someone picks up that hammer and the jingle starts to play, though that might just be because they're running for their lives...
** The Golden Hammer music in ''Brawl'' even more so.
** For any player without the golden hammer, the noise upon finding that it is, in fact, a squeaky hammer is bliss.
Line 204:
*** Or Luigi's Fire Jump Punch, or Jigglypuff's Rest, or Ness's side smash. All of those also make the KREEEEEEEEEENNNNGG!
**** Ness' side smash, as of ''Brawl''. no longer makes the ''KRREEENG!'' sound. It does, however, make a satisfyingly meaty '''KRACK''' upon contact.
** [[F
*** Ganon's Warlock Punch has the most badass battle roar of all time, even though the move is so slow that its only use is to taunt your opponent. GGRRRRAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
** My favorite sound from ''[[Super Smash Bros Melee]]'' is that of two Links doing spin attacks simultaneously. It just sounds ''so cool''.
Line 241:
* The "Evolution" theme from the ''[[Pokémon]]'' games. Nothing like, "Yes, a new Pokédex entry, and increased stats!" to excite a player of the games.
** Also the little "Badge earned" fanfare.
** And the TM fanfare, which originated in ''[[
** Not to mention the "bling-bling" that sounds when you find a shiny Pokemon.
** In the newer versions, the "you're about to go into a battle" music changes when you encounter one of the legendary Pokemon. This sound becomes all the more wonderful if you've been trying to chase down a Legendary Dog all afternoon.
** The exhilarating fanfares (of which there are two in the series; one in the first generation, their remakes, and ''Emerald'', and another in every other game) that follows a wild Pokémon catch. That just sets the sense of accomplishment into stone and seals the moment. As of ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]'' it is preceded by a little "click" sound, right when you successfully catch a new Pokémon, which is made all the sweeter if it's a Pokémon that you've been trying to catch for a while. Even though ''[[
*** Heck, the *dink dink dink* of the Poké Ball rocking three times immediately before the *click* is pretty damn sweet, too, especially on something with a low catch rate.
*** This troper even feels that each wiggle is a [[Most Wonderful Sound]] of its own when facing legendaries. After seemingly endless Ultra Balls that don't do jack, just hearing that first wiggle, even if the Pokemon later breaks free, is a nice relief from the monotony of constant zero-wiggle balls.
Line 283:
*** The Mission Complete fanfare is awesome as well. Villain players even get a somewhat more sinister version of the jingle.
** Not technically an RPG, but the level up "jingle" in [[Call of Duty]] 4 is actually a brief heavy metal guitar/drums riff.
** [[
** ''[[Fallout]] 3'''s cash register "cha-ching!" after gaining exp. is gleefully sadistic and very visceral. That and the army-four-beat-drum "Level Up" sound.
*** Sadly in [[Fallout: New Vegas]] the experience gain sound was changed to a bowel-loosening bass hit. Very irritating when clearing out large groups of weak enemies.
** The Pipboy's Level up Chirp from ''[[Fallout]] 1'' & ''2''. It's amazing how such a little chirp can bring so much happiness.
** ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' has a single strum of a guitar as its "gained XP" sound. Sound clips that are fractions of a second rarely give such a pleasurable feeling.
Line 310:
*** how can you POSSIBLY talk about Metroid and make [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvGrd8jnCdM no] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4g0WkXrZiA mention] of [[Leitmotif|Appearance]]?
**** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqW2YaVAnQE First Appearance FTW.]
** Also the "Puzzle Solved!" jingles from Zelda and [[La
*** ''[[La-Mulana]]'''s "trap activated sound," [[Most Annoying Sound|on the]] [[Nightmare Fuel|other hand]]...
** The sounds of weapon fire as you read the game's objective in multiplayer.
Line 316:
* When [[Super Robot Wars|Trombe]] overrides the BGM, expect The Mysterious Gourmet to show up and own the alien invader's mecha.
** The level up sound in the [[Super Robot Wars Alpha]] series is so triumphant sounding it could used as shorthand for [[Take a Level In Badass|"You have gained levels in hotblooded badass!"]]
* Some of the "Critical Hit" sounds from [[
** And of course that godly voice:

Line 324:

{{quote|
** Hearing ''at least'' 3 enemy death cries after the "FOOM!" of a fireball landing or the "BRZZP" of a lightning bolt.
* Same goes for [[Planescape: Torment]]
* Anyone who has played ''[[Super Mario Brothers]]'' knows [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIFknyQ3n4w one sound] that means the next few seconds will be a blast: [[Invincibility Power-Up|Da-da-da-dada-da-dadadada-da-da-da-dada-da-dadadada-da-da-da-dada-da-dadadada-da-da-da-dada-da-dadadada-...]]
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GESmPxKv1k& One-Up] jingle also brings a smile to many a gamer's face.
Line 335:
** The Thwomp sound. ''Ba-DOOMP!''
** The Bullet Bill firing sound (in games where it isn't identical to the Thwomp sound, anyways)
** When a Coin Ship or hidden Toad house appears in [[
** Any number of Charles Martinet's cries, especially with context. Have you ever let out a triumphant "WA-Hah!" after bouncing off of five Koopas without touching the ground?

** The spring/note block sound in Super Mario World: BREE-E-E-E-E! This troper was heartbroken when the spring appeared in Smash Brothers Brawl, but the sound didn't.
** [[Super Mario Galaxy
*** The jingle that plays when you get a Grand Star. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP_7vgwpkys Daaaaa-dada-daaaaa! Do-do-do-dododoooo! Da-da-da da-da-da DA! Dadada!]
*** The sound effect Goombas in that game make when they run Bubububububu [[Goomba Stomp|Whit-What!]]
** While the normal [[Invincibility Power-Up]] music (and aaaaall of its remixes in various games) is always awesome, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMzUqSk9iic jingle that plays] in ''[[

If it's on his end, and you have Airshoes or are [[Limit Break|Finalized]], and have that massive damage card ready, and just wait for him to land, a good chunk of his HP comes off. If it's on your end, the enemy's going to take massive damage and isn't going to be moving anywhere for a while. Then again, those are just bonuses. The sound itself has caused this troper to rewind videos and turn up the volume JUST because of how awesome it is.

**** Also, as far as sound effects, the sound of Holy Combo being doublecasted (5 simultaneous fast-moving orbs fired at once for each cast), followed by doublecasting Flare (4 REALLY fast shots fired for each cast, one at a time), then doublecasting Ultima (HP attack), then the glass-breaking noise that begins the EX burst.

* ''[[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.

* 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 1,177:
*** [[Infinity+1 Sword|Witness the fury...OF A GOD!]]
** '''[[Fight Woosh|FIGHT!]]'''
** The first few notes of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC2SDdMEGLE&feature=related The Valedictory Elegy]. Even [[Baten Kaitos
** [[Recurring Riff|Chaotic Dance]] might qualify, although it is the battle theme for [[That One Boss]].
** The screen melting into a pile of goop when the battle start, a wind-esque fsh-wooosh, goes, is great. There are a couple crazy laughs through the two of them, and all of them are chilling and to great effect.
Line 1,187:
* In [[Professor Layton]], that sweet sound of finally solving a puzzle... And the dialogue is pretty satisfying too!
* Hearing the ''[[Desktop Dungeons]]'' victory fanfare. Every time.
* The sound of a boss, or better yet, a [[Beef Gate|FOE]], dying in ''[[
* [[Gears of War]]: [[Chainsaw Good|WAYUR! RAOOOOOOERRR]]
* [[Gears of War]] 3 gives us "[[Kill Sat|Hammer strikes are a go!]]"
* 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 ''[[
* 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 ''[[
** The squeaking noise your planes landing gear makes during a smooth touchdown.
