Today marks 35 years to the day Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in Japan. Super Mario Bros was often considered the most influential video game of the 1980s, and its legacy lives on to this day.
Super Mario Bros introduced players to a lot of Nintendo icons, such as Super Mushrooms, Goombas, Piranha Plants, and many, many more. Speaking of Goombas, Super Mario Bros was also the game that introduced us to Goomba stomping. Yes, these anthropomorphic shiitake mushrooms turned traitorous and became minor villains, but the reason for the villains' villainy could be justified by the possibility of the Toads harbouring a parasite that would be capable of killing off most of humanity if not for the Toads' incompetence or the villains' villainy.
Happy 35th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros! Nintendo would not be where they are today and video gaming would not have experienced a renaissance without you!
