Super Mario Brothers is what brought video games into the household.
This one game is why every game system was called "a Nintendo" for decades. Yes, other games came along and changed the landscape dramatically, but SMB1 created that foothold into the home.
Exactly my thinking as well. Super Mario Brothers was the game that made "couch gaming" popular for more than just kids. Adults were getting into it as well. I still have fond memories of my dad trying his best at it and thinking sticking his tongue out in the right direction would somehow help his jumping ability.
Without the NES, the couch-gaming scene as we know it wouldn't exist. And Super Mario Brothers was the game that brought it to the masses.
None of the others come close to this. This game rescued the industry and set it's new trajectory
