Love the health/armor regen sounds from Half-Life. So awesome they kept it in the sequel.

Dying in Demon Attack on the 2600 had a pretty awesome sound too.

Mario & Luigi's faux-Italian in Superstar Saga (don't know if it's the same in Partners in Time; haven't played it yet)- funniest non-words ever.
Click to expand...
Yes x 1000. "Ado berede baredado!" Also Luigi's "Thunderrrrrrr" with the rolling R was the greatest voice clip everrrrr.

Otherwise:
- ! in MGS
- item fanfare in Zeldas
- item fanfare in Metroids
- The little "boop-boop" when you collect health in the original Metroid
- Screw attack sound effect in Metroid
- Mario throwing a fireball
- The huge columns in Super Mario World hitting the ground (THA-DOOM)
- Finding a star shard in Paper Mario (plink plink plnikplnikplnik)
- The "switching turns" sound in Space Channel 5
- "You found a secret bonus point!" from Dynamite Headdy
- Dudley's sound clips from SF3 ("Let's fight... like gentlemen!")
- Wario's status changes in Warioland 4 (bluubluubluu "AH NONO!")
- Whip power-up sound from Super Castlevania IV (Psh-ch-ch-ch)

Ah, it's lunch time... I'll post more later.

Oh my god the PUZZLE SOLVED jingle in Zelda.

I swear, I hear that sound even out of context, and I just get jacked on the endorphins(sp?) released.

Yoshi's "Yahmanuhmanuhmanuhmanuhmanuh" sound.

And, it's good to see some Mario & Luigi love. I'm waiting to play Partners in Time until I've beaten Superstar Saga. Does PiT have similar "voices"?

This thread got me thinking about a television program that featured a blind girl that played Pokeman quite well entirely off the sound ques. I will edit if I can find an online link.

The sound when the crystal that holds the girls in Four Swords Adventure shatters. Not the one where it breaks, but the two or three sounds where it's cracking.

Good god, it's like I'm breaking glass with a sledgehammer! AWESOME!

These are great! Sounds that I thought only I could appreciate

The (BWOWN) is a great sound.

when you break the tape at the end of a level in Super Mario World, and how mario gives the peace sign in sync with the music.

Probably one of the most memoriable things about Actraiser was the sound he made when swung his sword (HA)

Soul Blazer:
The sound when something appears after you set it free (pu keh pu keh pu keh)
The sound of swinging your sword

Secret of Evermore has some cool sounds when it's playing ambient music, but I don't know if that counts (like on the beach in the second part of the game, or in the woods of the third part)

The initial sound of casting a spell in the Secret of Mana

And don't forget YOGA FLAME from Dhalsim

Mario's 'ooof' in Mario 64

Laura Croft's British accent 'no'.

The menu button sound in amost every single final fantasy game.

I used to use that in my windows theme. Soooooo aaaaaaaawesome.

Vagrant Story had sweet sounds when you made chains. And in FF12 when you sell something! Very refreshing.

For busting out a picture of Pro-Wrestling I salute you and so does Starman.

I am suprised, no one has mention the metal on metal *dink dink* noise of the crowbar in Half-Life.

oh, and game startup sounds like

the old konami sound
(Laser crosses screen, pans down creates konami screen)

the capcom sound

of course the SNES Nintendo produced game startup sound and its variations

oh, and the playstation system startup sound
especially when it boots the game and PS symbol shows on the screen (psh pshwie)
Used to get me so psyched!

I wonder if the developers designed it with that in mind?
