did you know super mario was based on a real story? a man in 1979 found out that his girlfriend had been kidnapped by the gangsters and taken to the woods for ransom. but the man didn't have enough money and the gangsters killed his girlfriend. he was so sad that he had to reduce his pain by getting high on shrooms and collecting coins. that man is shigeru miyamoto, who recovered from his depression in 1985 and decided to make a game based on it.
