Nintendo has published a new “Iwata Asks” interview on the official Wii website. The interview once again focuses on the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., and, like previous interviews, contains a number of interesting nuggets about the series. You can check out a few of the details below.

– In earlier years, Miyamoto focused on asking questions such as “Is that fun?” and “Does that feel right?” rather than the essence of Mario
– Hiroyuki Kimura thought about making Super Mario Advance 5 for DS since people were asking about a fifth game around the time the system was released
– New Super Mario Bros. would have been Super Mario Advance 5
– Without the Super Mario Advance series, New Super Mario Bros. may never have happened
– Super Mario Advance series started when Satoru Iwata first came to Nintendo and saw a list of GBA titles in development, and noticed there were no Mario games
– New Super Mario Bros. Wii development began right after New Super Mario Bros.
– As Kimura presented a prototype of New Super Mario Bros. Wii multiplayer to Miyamoto, Miyamoto suggested there be 4 players instead of just 2 (prototype only included Mario and Luigi)
– Nintendo experimented with multiplayer in Super Mario Bros. 3
– Multiplayer featured simultaneous gameplay with Mario and Luigi, but scrapped the idea because the screen wouldn’t pull forward well when scrolling and players would fall even though they jumped
– While developing Super Mario 64, Yoshiaki Koizumi had some difficulty making Mario move in some areas, so Miyamoto used gestures to show how Mario should look
– One of the issues Koizumi experienced was making Mario swim, so Miyamoto was literally sprawled out on a desk and was doing swimming motions (this was at 2-3 in the morning)
– Disputes about the “cuteness” factor in Super Mario Sunshine
– Some suggested making the pole at the end of the levels in New Super Mario Bros. Wii bigger due to 4 player action, but the idea was scrapped since, if it was too long, players wouldn’t be able to reach the top
– Flagpoles (at the end of levels) aren’t used at the end of levels in 3D Mario games because Nintendo felt it would be hard to grab it

Collection Includes Classic Games, Music CD and History Booklet

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Few video game characters can claim to be going strong after a quarter century. But Nintendo’s Mario™ isn’t your average character.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros.™ game on the Nintendo Entertainment System™, Nintendo has released the Super Mario All-Stars™ Limited Edition package, a collection featuring four classic Mario games playable on the Wii™ system, a soundtrack CD and an illustrated commemorative booklet. Super Mario All-Stars will be offered while supplies last at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

“Whether you’ve been a Mario fan for 25 years or are just now discovering his games, this limited-edition collection is packed with hours of fun,” said Marc Franklin, Nintendo of America’s director of Public Relations. “These classic games, along with the soundtrack CD and Super Mario History booklet filled with rare concept art, make this a must-have collection for every video game fan.”
