V1 A [[meme]] involving a small white [[cat]] hitting an instrument while playing a given song.

The meme began in May 2018 when Twitter user "@StrayRogue":[https://twitter.com/StrayRogue/] posted an [[animated GIF]] of a [[cat]] slapping a table. Twitter user "@DitzyFlama":[https://twitter.com/@DitzyFlama] responded with a video of the cat playing [[bongo drums]] to the "Athletic" theme of [[Super Mario World]], hence the name.

In January 2019 a variation of this meme became popular in Japan under the hashtag "コンパス式いいねとリツイートをする奴ら":[https://twitter.com/hashtag/コンパス式いいねとリツイートをする奴ら] ("[i]People Liking and Retweeting #Compass Style[/i]"). This version has the cat replaced by a character smashing Twitter's "Retweet" and "Like" buttons. Originally drawn by "@genuineneckass":[https://twitter.com/@genuineneckass], the image set was popularized by images of [i][[#Compass]][/i] characters mimicking the original post. The earliest version known using the hashtag had [[ririka_(#compass)|Ririka]] as a substitute.
