After 38 years, the five founding members of Mario are still present in the new blockbuster Super Mario Bros. Wonder

The developers who created the first Mario version are still prominently listed in the credits of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. After 38 long years, they are still at Nintendo, albeit in higher positions.

Japanese people are known for their meticulousness in work, but there is also a downside to their company culture of stubbornness. Once someone is attached to a company, they almost devote their entire life to it until retirement. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has shown this, as the credits of the game still include all 5 people who directly created Super Mario Bros. 38 years ago.

The first Super Mario Bros. game was completed 38 years ago by 5 personnel at Nintendo, including project director Shigeru Miyamoto, assistant director Takashi Tezuka, programmers Toshihiko Nakago and Kazuaki Morita, and composer Koji Kondo.

Today, all 5 individuals are still working for Nintendo, albeit in different roles due to their promotions after years of dedication. In the Super Mario Bros. Wonder project, Miyamoto oversees the product, Tezuka is the producer, Nakago advises on special level designs, and Kondo directs the sound. Morita's name is mentioned in the credits as well, although his specific role is not mentioned. This interesting discovery was announced by Max Nichols, a game designer working at Bungie, on his Twitter.

Over 38 years, time can turn those twenty-year-old men into old men nearing retirement age. But they are still present in the series they built up to this point, through countless versions and career ups and downs. The contributions of these 5 individuals to Nintendo specifically and the gaming industry as a whole are truly undeniable.
