Tezuka wants Mario Maker “to stimulate the imagination of the people playing it”
Takashi Tezuka’s number one goal with Mario Maker “is to stimulate the imagination of the people playing it.”
Tezuka spoke about the Wii U game with EDGE this month, and touched on a number of topics. When asked to comment on how the team is going to approach players sharing their creations, he said:
“What I most want to achieve with Mario Maker is to stimulate the imagination of the people playing it. I want them to try out their creations – sometimes getting an expected result, [and] other times, something completely different – and then use that experience to come up with even more creative things to try the next time.”
“In addition to the fun you can have making courses, I’m sure there will be people who want to share the courses they made with others, and also people who want to play on courses made by others. For these users, we will need to have a system for sharing courses online, one that’s tailored to Mario Maker.”
Tezuka also mentioned that he doesn’t believe Mario Maker will negative impact the sales of other Mario titles. You can find those remarks here.
