“Players have likely noticed that, in the original Super Mario RPG, the orchestra hit (the short BAM! noise) plays right as Mario holds up a peace sign. I was actually the one who suggested that! They were off synch during development, so I said why not make the motion and the audio line up! The orchestra hit lines up with Mario taking off his hat in the remake, too! I'm so glad ♡”
Yoko Shimomura, Liner notes in Super Mario RPG Original Sound Box

"Victory!"[1] is a musical theme composed by Yoko Shimomura for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, where it plays when the player wins a battle and during the level-up screen.
