I Hope I Win

"I Hope I Win" is a declaration of one's own desire to achieve victory. It is also a meme.

Origin

"I Hope I Win"'s first occurred in a level for SMW Central's Choco Level Contest. The level was called "Chocolate Island" and was made by the user mariocool1999. It appears twice in the level, first on the introductory text, and later it's spelled out with coins at the end of the level. This level achieved 31st place out of 33, meaning that these hopes were not met.

This was deemed hilarious, causing it to be repeated in many other Make A Level contests. Notably, the winning level of MAGLX2 had an "I Hope I Win" joke in their level, meaning their hopes were met.
