A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Sushi Roll sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Cone-shaped wafers with cream were described in print before 1900, but the ice-cream cone became a major American fairground hit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. It also connects to a different milestone: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of Sushi Roll is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer food history timeline.
