'''Koji Kondo''' is perhaps ''the'' most legendary video game music composer, alongside fellow composers [[Koichi Sugiyama]] and [[Nobuo Uematsu]]. He composed what is perhaps the most well-known video game song of all time, the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme. He has also composed for many other ''[[Mario]]'' games, along with ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, and various other games for [[Nintendo]].
 
Among other things, he is known for constantly remaking his old pieces and [[Musical Nod|putting it into newer games]], especially in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]'' series. This has made him somewhat of a [[Base Breaker]] among Nintendo fans, dividing them into fans who enjoy the remakes of his old pieces and fans who grow [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|tired of these themes]] and say he should come up with newer pieces.<ref>[[Fan Dumb|Sometimes ignoring the fact that he mixes his old pieces with newer ones in every game.]]</ref> Nevertheless, he is still renowned as one of the greatest composers in the industry.
 
Well -known examples of his pieces can be found on the [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] pages for ''[[Super Mario Bros./Awesome Music|Super Mario Bros]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda/Awesome Music|The Legend of Zelda]]''.
