What game made you a Nintendo fan, and what was it about it?

Got an NES back in 1988 and loved the console but not really Nintendo's first party stuff. I played a lot but they didn't really say my world on fire or anything. In fact, they were pretty simple and generic.

Then, Super Mario 3.

I didn't even play it when it first came out. But when I did,..Oh my God! Combined with the Captain N TV show and the Super Mario cartoons, I was down for life.
