Nintendo patron saint Shigeru Miyamoto created the Mario franchise, but he knows it would be nothing without the countless devs and designers who helped bring it to life. The original Super Mario Bros. platformer from 1985 would have especially suffered, Miyamoto thinks, had it been the responsibility of only one person.
Nintendo Everything shares an interview Miyamoto did with Japanese magazine Casa Brutus earlier this summer. The director reveals that many of the game's most beloved qualities came from simply bouncing ideas around in the office.
