Yeah, they really like referencing this one; it might be the most-referenced “pre-video games” part of Nintendo’s history. Off the top of my head, it shows up in at least one WarioWare game, and is also in [the Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe) version of GBA Mario Circuit](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/e/ee/MK8_GBA_Mario_Circuit_Overview.jpg)

Only real fans know this.
Fake ones are just finding out.

It’s not mentioned in the wiki but Gunpei was just a factory worker at the time, and he was just slacking off and playing around with the ultra hand that he made. In walks Yamauchi, president of Nintendo, sees him playing, and calls him to his office. Gunpei thought he was gonna get reprimanded but instead was told to turn it into a product, and that’s how the guy got his first big start at nintendo.
