Aléatoire: Super Mario World a un milliard de secondes aujourd'hui

We celebrate video game anniversaries all the time here at Nintendo Life. Who doesn’t like a birthday or anniversary? Maintenant, we all know Super Mario World is going to be 32 years old in November this year (who remembers playing it when it first came out?), but it’s already reached another milestone in digits.

Blogger Souper Mario Bouillon has worked out that this incredible SNES platformer, and console launch title, will have existed in its completed form, out in the public, for one billion seconds. 1,000,000,000 secondes. So if you’re also 32 this year, then you’ll also be about that old in seconds. Makes us feel very Tout comme n'importe quel jeu que vous avez téléchargé depuis l'App Store ou Google Play.

It’s an amusingly high number, and we’re kind of amazed someone figured it out. This is all based on the 21st November Japanese release date, and — at the time of writing this — it’s 30th July 2022 in Japan. And while we can’t pinpoint the exact moment Super Mario World hits the big one billion, it’s at some point today at the very least.

Hey, why can’t one of the best Super NES platformers of all time have multiple birthdays this year? We don’t see why not.

Mais, that also means that the original F-zéro is also one billion seconds old today. And does that also technically mean the Super Famicom is too? Bien sûr, if you get down to the technicalities, the console and the cartridges absolument existed before they were released to the public, or even shipped to stores, but as a product? These three things are all one billion seconds old. Pretty fun.

We’re not sure we have one billion of anything to celebrate. So how’s 31 and a half candles, Mario?

Do you know any other unusual anniversaries? Or does remembering seeing Super Mario World around one billion seconds ago caused another year to shed off of your life? Faites le nous savoir!
