Happy belated 20th birthday Super Mario Bros. 3! On Oct. 23, 1988, Super Mario Bros. 3 was released to the Japanese public, and it was two years later that it was released stateside, but everyone will tell you it was more than worth the wait. To this day, many still consider Super Mario Bros. 3 to be the greatest game of all time, and you would be hard pressed to argue, everything about the game is virtually flawless, it took everything that made the original Super Mario Bros. the classic that it was, and improved upon it in every way imaginable. Super Mario Bros. 3 was even so great that they made an entire movie just to build hype, The Wizard, the longest commercial in history.

It also happens to be ten years since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was first released. Ocarina of Time is often credited as the best Zelda game of all time.

So happy belated birthdays Super Mario Bros. 3 and Ocarina of Time, keep on being awesome.

Hey, it has also been ten years since the original release of Banjo-Kazooie, and ten years since Pokemon made its way stateside….Happy birthday to all of yalls!
