I don't think a play on the saying 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger' is a retro music reference.

It's from Nietzsche in 1888, so it's just a really retro reference in general. Interestingly, Nintendo was founded the following year!

I’m pretty sure the saying predates that song by at least a century

At no point did I claim anything predates anything else I was just trying to make a silly joke it's not that serious, holy shit..
