Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on May 13, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Hideki Konno! May your day be filled with more excitement than Rainbow Road and fewer banana peels than a Mario Kart tournament. Your brilliant designs have given us countless hours of joy—and occasional friendly rivalries—making you the true superstar behind Nintendo's beloved classics.

From guiding Mario through warp pipes to steering Luigi around hairpin turns, you've consistently powered up our gaming adventures. Thanks for keeping shells flying and friendships thriving; here's hoping this year brings you as much fun as you've brought millions worldwide—minus any blue shells headed your way!

Cheers to another lap around life's track!
