Update: Well, this all came to an end rather quickly. These sound file seem to be tied to the unlockable costumes (ex: star with get modern Mario). Thanks NicoRobin.

A pair of Super Mario 64 sound files have been found within Super Mario Maker’s various data. The music in question are the “Powerful Mario” and “Metallic Mario” tracks – both can be listened to below.

This may be interesting, but that doesn’t mean anything will necessarily come from it. We’ll update this post if anything further about the situation develops.

TIME has an interview with up Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. Some of the comments are actually from June, but there’s a sprinkling of fresh remarks as well.

One interesting excerpt concerns Miyamoto talking about how Super Mario Maker is like a transition point for the franchise, as Nintendo feels it’s time “to move in a new direction”. Miyamoto said:

“Doing this now at the 30th anniversary [of Super Mario Bros.] is really putting some more of that creativity into the players. But at the same time, we as the developers feel that it’s time for us to move in a new direction, and we’re preparing to work on the future of Super Mario from here on.”
