Nintendo legend and father of Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, thinks there's a limit to how many people the company "can reach through Nintendo's systems and consoles," and so he wants his beloved red-hatted plumber to continue to evolve outside of video games.
Speaking in a new interview with Polygon about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Miyamoto is presented with the point that, thanks to the movies, many fans will now be encountering Mario for the first time before ever even playing any of his games. Asked if this has any impact on his thoughts when it comes to making games, Miyamoto says he's keen to see Mario evolve outside of the format he was first introduced in.
