Happy birthday, Koji Kondo! May your day be filled with more joy than Mario finding a hidden 1-Up mushroom and more excitement than Link discovering yet another secret dungeon.

From the cheerful beats of Mushroom Kingdom to the heroic symphonies of Hyrule, you've composed music that transcends generations. Here's hoping this year brings you as much happiness as you've given gamers worldwide—and may your creativity continue leveling up forever!
