Miyamoto says Nintendo was hesitant to make a backstory for Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Mario games are always about the gameplay, with the story often having a minimal impact. However, with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the plot and its characters needed to take center stage. This created an interesting dilemma of sorts for Nintendo.
If you’ve seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie or any of its trailers, you obviously know that there’s more to Mario compared to the games – including a bit of a backstory. But Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto said Nintendo felt some hesitation there since “we want Mario to be without restrictions” and going into more of his character “might become a disadvantage for future games.”

Nintendo made sketches of Mario’s parents that were never used, brought back for the movie
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Super Mario Bros. Movie director Aaron Horvath has revealed that Nintendo previously made sketches of Mario’s parents that went unused. However, they resurfaced from the company’s vault for the new film.
The Mario family is brought in a bit for the new movie, and it turns out that Nintendo was “fully on board with this cinematic representation of Mario and knowing that he’s not just going to be a guy who appears from a pipe and says ‘Wahoo!’ and then he’s off on his adventure,” according to Horvath. He told Polygon that the idea here was to show that “he’s a real guy with a real life and real problems.”

In the words of Shigeru Miyamoto, Dr. Mario is a character that shouldn’t be trusted.
IGN recently spoke with the Mario creator as part of an interview for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Miyamoto talked about how the film brought out a new side of the character as an everyman hero. However, when it comes to Dr. Mario, he’s a character shrouded in shadiness.
