Kojima: Super Mario Bros. deserves to be hailed as one of mankind's greatest inventions

Hideo Kojima has dished out a ton of praise for Super Mario Bros, and has said that the game "deserves to be hailed as one of mankind's greatest inventions."

[dangert12]

I like the one with the fox tail that let you fly? O_o
but as new mario's come out i feel its overated plus wheres a real story nintendo are so lazy when it comes to these things you'd never believe it

[Gandalf]

Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach for some cake is pretty deep. But seriously, Super Mario Bros. is still a great game.

[darkcharizard]

is actually another word for SEX in this context ;P

ps - Who cried when Bowser kidnapped Toadstool?? I did :P

[eagle21]

Mario is the man, and sets the bar in platforming. :)

[RedDead]

Super mario bros 2 that was. Best one imo.

[8-bit]

SMB3>SMB2

[handheldwars]

was amazing, no doubt.

If you meant smb2 USA, then..... *sigh*

[RedDead]

found sm2 more addicting than 3 and I dunno if it's the japan one or not.

[RedDead]

LoL
F*** that, it's SMB3. That's my favourite. How could I make that mistake?? "Loads gun"

SMB2 in Jap was the same as 1 basically an the US SMB2 was completely retarded.

[fuckitimout]

mans greatest invention

[ShabbaRanks]

Real tits win my man . . . Plastic toys are for kids . . . I Wouldn't trade my girlfriends breasts for the world

[ChickeyCantor]

" I Wouldn't trade my girlfriends breasts for the world"

It would just mean more "tits"...I dont know whats wrong with you though..
j/k

[fuckitimout]

I'm talking man made not naturally gifted. Of course big real ones are better but man didn't make them, she was blessed with them already

[GodsHand]

Those are lies.

[ChickeyCantor]

"Fake ( .Y . )"

Just looks like a face looking mad =D

[N4g_null]

You mean you've never destroyed a building with your fist? Mario was the very first x men and when he was a child he could pull things into the tv. Until something happened and him his brother along with some friend got stuck there. Some blame it on the wizard but it actualy has some thing to do with Zelda who powers nintendos whole crazy world.

Your suppose to make your own story it's a game not seame street.

[MGRogue2017]

Wise words from a wise man

[LoaMcLoa]

Amen to that

[darkcharizard]

I cried when Bowser kidnapped peach :P

[Supraman]

I gots a question. When you play playstaion 2 games on the old phat PS3, does it convert it to HD. Ohh and would the 1080i feature in Gran Turismo 4 work on hdmi?

[Gandalf]

It upscales, so it's not really HD, but it makes it look better than if you were playing the PS2 on a HDTV.

[CrzyFooL]

Damn right it does. Kojima = smart man.

[chiwoo]

i agree Kojima it was also the first videogame i ever played

[AEtherbane]

A cultural revolution and gave birth to an industry that has grown to one of the largest entertainment industries of all time. I dont disagree with this.

[user8397144]

I agree with Kojima but I liked the super mario bros. 3 the best. Although number 1 still up there withe the greatest.

[Megahurtz1986]

Great game with the most recognizable theme song ever. Even my grandmother knows it.

[Mr Patriot]

Turn10 should learn a lesson from Kojima

[mushroomwig]

I'm not really sure that it's wise to state how a video game belongs in the same league as the invention of the Internet, the car, the plane..etc.

[Nugundam0079]

Cultural impact was enormous and has been cited by professor and authors-yea all from a simple videogame.

[mushroomwig]

The purpose of invention is to better mankind, the internet does this, the car does this, a video game does not.

[farrelljade]

Couldn't disagree more with what you said. Yes inventions should better mankind in terms of growing the world economy and mario as a business has done just that more than a lot more inventions!!!

[Matthew94]

no its not

the purpose is to make money

[Orionsangel]

Oh Mushroom. When are you going to learn that....I AM YOUR FATHER!

[Batzi]

Agreed. Because of Super Mario Bros. Kojima got into gaming and gave us one of the best series in gaming history, Metal Gear.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

It didn't benefit me or anyone else in anyway, so I'm going to say NO!

[Orionsangel]

Let's all give a nice round of applause for PITFALL!!!

[DarkFantasy]

Kojima is awesome! and so is Mario!

[rumplstilts]

Amen, Kojima.
