For me, it was Princess Rosalina’s backstory in Super Mario Galaxy.

Bit of an odd one, but the "Jump Up, Superstar" sequence from Mario Odyssey. It was just a crash of nostalgia combined with the unapologetic celebration of Mario games in general and a heap of affirmation that you, the player, are awesome. It was so beautiful that I couldn't help it.

And other givens like the endings to Mother 3 and Undertale.

This is the first "happy cry" I've seen in this thread, and I'm so glad I found it! That sequence at the end of New Donk City was so great...
