Hideo Kojima is definitely one of the game industry\u2019s brightest stars, as he\u2019s created not just one of the business\u2019s most iconic franchises in Metal Gear, he also has crafted some of the most unique adventures as well. Now we know that all of Kojima\u2019s works were made possible thanks to Nintendo\u2019s world-famous plumber.<\/p>\n
In a new chat with Wired, Kojima is asked what game he\u2019s played the most in his life. Kojima answers quickly with Super Mario Bros., but then reveals just how influential the seminal entry in the franchise was to his own career path.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played it for a year. I was a college student. I skipped school to play at home,\u201d Kojima told Wired Japan. \u201cWithout Super Mario, I probably wouldn\u2019t have been in this industry. \u2026It had almost no story, but felt like you were on an adventure. When I saw that, although it was pixel art with no story, I felt this medium would one day surpass movies.\u201d<\/p>\n
