Miyamoto on World 1-1: How Nintendo made Mario's most iconic level 

How could he not? :)

Miyamoto is ALWAYS smiling

***** I really don't like your name.

A true gamer at heart.

He's just always smiling period! I swear, the man's a buddha!

I always thought it was kinda an Alice in Wonderland nod.

g fox why?

Yanno, Alice taking potions, pills, mushrooms to change size and all. As Jefferson Airplane put it, "One pill makes you larger. And one pill makes you small... And you've just had some kind of mushroom. And your mind is moving slow" etc.

@g fox I'm pretty sure it WAS. Alice in Wonderland would be exactly WHY a suspicious mushroom would be globally understood to make your body magically grow in size.

Yep. Thanks, Lewis Carroll!

LoomDoom I can read the subtitles about games all day because My Japanese is nonexistent.

I mean, he is god so

YES. HE IS JUST AMAZING! I'M A BIIIIG Super Mario FAAN!!!!!!!

Ikr

I could _read_ Miyamoto talk about games all day

+ZombiEBenoiT chill out dude, geez

+Myy100 Hey, the kid is right there is alot to learn from miymoto this video teaches you why he did everything to make such a great lvel. from the placement of the mushroom to the warp pipe.

+Myy100 I was responding to an all-caps response from an inexplicably angry commenter, which has since been deleted. Context is everything.

+jorgefuzzomendez yep I'm definitely not an "alt account" and this dude needs a cup of chill

Shit, they just need to sit down and play some old 2D platformers and see how they teach mechanics with placement, introduction to new mechanics, or just minor things that you pick up on without realizing. Really makes you look at your favorite games differently :P

+L.A.C. I agree!

They're so much better than the creators of playstation and xbox, they only care about graphics and money. Thats why its only bad ahooter games on the system. I love these people because they are nice like you said and make games that are fun, the reason games where invented, not graphics -.- Nintendo is awesome!

PizzaCat productions Absolutely agree. You hear other companies talk about video games and all they talk about is console power and graphics. You hear Nintendo talk about video games and all they talk about is gameplay and fun. You can legitimately see these people enjoy creating video games and have a passion for what they do.

+Donald Trump For Graveyard Thanks, i'm 13, but i feel like i grew up under the 80's and 90's because i love Mario and Nintendo. And yes all the shooters ruin kids ;(

+L.A.C. True!

Yes! He is a freakin' legend!

He's like one of "The Nine old men" Of Nintendo (if you understand what nine old men is tho lol)

Every game has that element pretty much though

+AlexTheGamer97 But the question is do current designers approach it from that angle initially?

AlexTheGamer97 Its less the fact that they make fun games, it's that being fun is their core design priority. So many companies want to make cinimatic games, emotional games, games that make you feel fear, excitement whatever, and all of these are great and amazing! But Nintendo's focus on just pure joy puts them above allot of other developers, as at the end of the day their games are designed to make you smile.

+Joseph Ed Reed Nintendo approaches that from a GAMEPLAY perspective, the rest only approaches that from cinematics and shiny graphics. seriously, if i wanna watch shiny graphics and get emotions out if it, just watch a CG movie lol

+HackerHaunter03 Fanboyism is strong with this one...

Yes Super Mario is my favorite video game franchise ever!! Thanks Miyamoto!

That comment is freaking amazing

Him and Iwata Both...

idot

he made both. But the childhoods are more iconic.

I think working on THIS Mario has to be the most memorable thing for him. Also, he's the fucking guy, who made Mario! I'd smile all day too :D

So true. The kids that grew up with mario, who are now adults, still love the series because they guy who helped make it, still loves it as much as we kids did when we first played it.

That man is a legend. :)

SapphixTV God I would love to meet him I was influenced by him when I first played Mario and heard about him in my pre teen years

He is a good developer that made mario since Donkey Kong

I have discovered the rare legitimate comment!

That's because the people who create levels on Mario Maker are probably 5 year old kids

Then you see games like Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 EA that exist only to make you unhappy.

Bartosz Skorupa They’re kinda fun in my opinion

+Bartosz Skorupa and pay money to get "happy"

Truly a legend to the gaming industry. Unlike the makers of No Man's Sky who just lie and lie to get people's money.

iHasaComputer Well that much is true. Great genii of gaming get recognized such as Yu Suzuki, Masayuki Kato, Masafumi Myamoto (I don't like Final Fantasy, but I have to give credit where it is due), Kotaro Hayashida, Tim Sweeney, John Carmack, etc. These are people that can be trusted to make something good. Then you have the people who belong in the videogame cesspool of garbage where Sean Murray belongs, throw Zoey Quinn in there too for that Depression Quest bullcrap.

A little? more like A lot better. I am so glad I am a PONG, Atari, Arcade, Nintendo kid!! :P

FedorovAvtomat plz watch my RU-vid channel just press on my channel picture plz watch

Blue J Get the *-FRICK OUTTA HERE-* heck out of here please. You make -crappy videos- great videos but -nobody likes them- no one wants to watch them right now. -Get out- sorry! 🙏

DB Pooper what do you mean?

If the player thinks the magic mushroom is something like a goomba, and try to jump over it, he will hit the blocks and land on the magic mushroom, discovering that it's actually a power-up :)

Also, the pipe on the right makes it certain that it goes back towards you.

I forget who, but some b level youtube gaming celebrity, as a kid thought the mushrooms killed you, so always avoided them. Until his dad told him otherwise. Ian Ferguson maybe?

I never realised it was méant to be ambiguous the first time you came across it.

+AlphaOmegaSin you know what feels amazing when you make a game like him? you discover new things while creating a game, takes risks, but you enjoy so much entering to unknown waters and discover new areas never seen before. nowadays, you just make a generic game with a generic genre, make nothing new and call it a game. man, makes me feel that gaming lost its true meaning sometimes

+andree1991 He did and it is just and righteous.

+caveman Versace Yeah. As a creative I love seeing this kind of thing.

+HackerHaunter03 What happened you ask? Your answer is that video games got popular; popular things sell well, and when things sell well, there is money to be made ! Remember that in the 80's, video games still had that black cloud over their head from all the crappy (even for their time) games that came out and painted a crumby picture of what this new Video Game market might be. The old Japanese guy talking in this video is a legend because he (and others like him) understood that JUST projecting an image on a screen that changes with inputs you enter on a device, wasn't going to be enough to keep people coming back for more; instead games needed to tap into the emotions of the players as well as their eyes & ears. Now that "gaming" is mainstream, developers no longer NEED to put in that kind of effort; just make ANOTHER Call of Duty game with slightly better graphics and a somewhat new mechanic (if you're lucky) and call it a day!

+HalfBreedMix I could swear that people want another CoD more than they want a [insert your favorite game/genre here], since they buy it so much more... But, nah, probably devs' (or evil publishers bwahahah) fault. Multimillion dollar companies shouldn't like money. /s

I also love the concept of learning a game on our own, however, it seems to be much easier in a 2D sidescroller than in other games. In a side scrolling platformer like mario, you can restrict the player's movements and edge them along in the way you want. In, say, a card game, you can't control what a player does without making them do a boring tutorial.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8FpigqfcvlM.html Mega Man X has the perfect intro level in the SNES

Im sorry to say, I feel it's not so much that Miyamoto was a genius, but more that the concept of figuring stuff out for ones self has decreased to almost zero, over time. Both developers and gamers expect and want this. If it's not instantly understood, a certain group of players is already turned off. Perhaps due to games being more mainstream, rather than only played by people who actually cared to play them more than the average person.

@@omikronweapon Ok :|

@@omikronweapon dude literally revolutionized the gaming industry and developed many of the most successful media IPs. You think this stuff is simple but then you realize this guy came up with these concepts, it only appears simple to us because we’ve played games that have used his ideas. It’s like with the Pythagorean theorem for instance, it’s a really simple formula, but the guy that came up with it is a genius. Miyamoto is clearly a genius.

4grammaton 👌🤔💡🤔👌

Psychology 101

It's actually OPERANT conditionning (Skinner, rather than Pavlov) in this case (positive reinforcement, more precisely)... :) What Pavlov discovered is really cool, but it is a bit different: it's when a stimulus is paired with another one (shortly after, or simultaneous) and they both end up producing the same response... so just the second stimulus ALONE (ringing a bell) now produces a similar response to real food (salivation) for example.

Gotta have incentives to keep playing. Letting you know that game isn't trying to get you frustrated 10 minutes in. Now, if the sound of grabbing a coin suddenly made you salivate all over yourself, then we do, indeed, have a pavlovian issue.

Oh god... If you referencing to a "Body Part" I regret my laugh

Oh my.

Dumbass shut up no likes that joke it’s literally a game for 7 year olds and your referencing crap like this your the most immature person to live

@@meee6584 Ummm are you talking about the reply section or the comment

🅱️🅾️NER

jiweep I love ur profile pic

Right? When done well, as in SMB and Portal, invisible tutorials are the best as they make the player not only feel clever for figuring it out, but also feel like they're part of the creative process of the game. Instead of just being told what to do, they feel like they were an active participant in the process.

its like somebodies parent saying good job after an assignment that they masterminded so that you could never lose.

Yea, even Mega Man X has the same methodology, starting a player off in a level outside of the main game with hidden intentions of teaching the player how to play the game without being obtrusive.

Sigma Projects egoraptor viewer i presume...

Eneas H. Ah yea, that's where I saw the break down. It's awesome since I remember playing the game when it was new... both games... now I feel old... thanks...

Narata after seeing the switch... i am now looking at the past

PuppyGravity I'm happy Nintendo is releasing many of its NES and SNES games on the 3DS, so now I'm living in the past. :-)

+PuppyGravity With the new Mario, do you think they'll be *Switching* some things? :DD But in all seriousness, do you think they're gonna take a SM64 turn again? Who knows, this could be the SM64 Wii we (And by we, I mean some people... xD) always wanted? xD

This is so true and also if you had to jump a higher way across some gaps to the right for example. i'd move my hands to the right side too as if that were to somehow make Mario jump further. XD

You can always just use an emulator and not re-buy the games you already own.

TheRealSh4d0wm4n damn

I remember when I had that first realization, especially since the game had a lot of character and didn't seem like just a futuristic F1 game.

Arte S. No, I just didn't think about the Formula aspect of it. Like how F Zero referes to Formula 0.

***** Unless you're being sarcastic, there was. They only recently ended the series in 2013. There's even Formula 3 & 4.

***** To be fair, I don't think it's advertised in the US (where I'm from) so I don't know how popular it is, but from my understanding it's the ladder system many people take to get to F1.

u think u can describe mario games better?

sure, when i get 2 coin, i get 2 happy

wut bout tree fitty coin?

GET OUTTA HERE LOCH NESS MONSTAH!

Sure, the sounddesign in Mario games actually never changed. They've been updated or just re used, like the pipe sound effect.

bunnyfreakz he will be downloaded into a Nintendo server where he will beable to take the form of mario and create games

Life will go on, as always.

Sorry, I didn't mean it this way. He's unique and I love his job.

was that a theodd1sout reference

Lots of broken hearts when Miyamoto passes.

In a hundred years, when he's dead he will be immortalized alongside famous painters and such. That's how important he is, atleast for me.

You can never unhear it!!!

koots1 st XD

haha and when you say "Bottle" real fast it sounds like "Butthole". The possibilities with languages are endless!!

can't hear it, since im japanese, and i can type, understand, and speak japanese

koots1 st I read this and it came up in the video

Improper usage of the word "psychology."

+Michael LastName if he's talking about the way in which the mechanics teach players the game's fundamentals, I think it does come within the broad realm of 'psychology'.

Human behaviour is psychology. And game desing has a lot of that. Well at less Mario has it.

Josep Pi - Anime/Games Piano covers! And that's just a theory! A game theory!

No it's not, they clearly used quite a bit of psychology in designing the level to help teach new players the mechanics of the game without any sort of on-screen tutorial.

lol

Notmatt I was wondering why those were there.

Notmatt same😂😂😂

Clearly drawn by a child....

Dat classroom feel.

Anime Addict plz watch my RU-vid channel just press on my channel picture plz watch

+internisus hi you are first

+Sakura No one cares who posted first.

0mikr0n well I do

That's because you're twelve.

Wow you guessed my age right and I'm sorry if I care about pointless things but that's what I like to do.Sorry again though.

Tiviat Gays of War is a over Gaylord of bad'games'

SamPlushyFive Ahh true

Hahahah

+Darth Fader To be fair if the company didn't exist; he might not be as big/there might never have been a Mr. Miyamoto who created so many memories and fun games. The company is probably one of the most important things. It's the entirety of people working on games. I mean people say they love lots of things that can't love back. it's not really irrational to love something that can''t physically reciprocate. Also superficial isn't the word I'd use here, I don't even think you're using it properly.

Darth Fader You're using words that are way above what you actually understand. Little brother nationalism for example; I've only ever seen used in a book called Violence and Peace: From the atom bomb- to Ethnic cleansing. It was a rather limited perspective book about how the government controls a lot; which isn't true in the slightest. The people that control the USA are the big companies. The people that get voted in, politicians, presidents, etc are all those representing the best interests of said companies; period. While live chat would be nice; it wouldn't change the fact that a lot of people are uneducated and with that, can't make choices in which would actually benefit themselves or the human race on the whole. Please keep these kind of opinions to yourself; especially when it comes to bringing debates and semantics to a place where more than likely; will be full of younger audiences.

Darth Fader You're not even making arguments, you're just stringing random words together. Human impulses? An impulse is something that's like a sudden urge, and you haven't said a single thing about human impulses lol.

Darth Fader I'm not going to argue with someone like you. You make inane arguments, you quote things that I never even said; and then go on to make points about said things. Your entire argumentative line of process is frightening; it's as if you don't understand what it is to be a human at all; on top of that you wove several opinionated fallacies within what you had to say which makes it even less digestible for the average person and quite frankly a lowly way to debate. Throwing out all but what you believe is important. Go to college; take some writing lessons and then come back to me with your opinion; by the time you're educated enough to be in college you may actually realize what you said is merely an opinion and to quantify rational within the human process is impossible. Humans defy a lot of nature's instinctual urges and the idea that they are not allowed to love that which can't reciprocate as I'll reiterate from earlier? That's ridiculous. You're perfectly allowed to feel like you do but that doesn't mean you're allowed to force your opinions of others and how you think on other people. Long story short: Get bent; everything you stand for sickens me and I'm not going to respond anymore- I'm blocking you immediately after this post because honestly: This will likely just frustrate me more as you come back and make some other ridiculous argument that isn't based in fact but purely semantics.

+Avan Carr you don't get it! the bibliotech of the foreshadowing is superficial, the matter of the fact is you know nothing of the crunch....

+DatOneRiley It must have taken weeks, maybe even months to make those paintings! They should put that in a museum.

+Adam K Idiot

Hitman Goat ...You disappoint me.

+Adam K check out my game pick ups video, more to come!!

fguck u

+Then00bhunt3r He died while talking to you, and you feel better?

Same. It's been a long-held theory, and that all but confirms it.

well, actually its a Alice In Wonderland reference. But then THAT was a drug reference

Same XD

Absolutely!! SM64 is my favorite game ever! EVAR!!!

I wonder if he even knows about all that crazy stuff

Lord Geezmo

Lucas Facini

+Blinkstale yes please!

+Blinkstale Please!

+Blinkstale Oh yeah, definitely this.

a transcript would be amazing too

+Blinkstale what if there is a part that mario comes in angry and demanding for a raise

That has nothing to do with the video.

+assistant Jordan he doesn't deny it lmao

+SpasticBrown Why would he have any need to deny it?

+Bakester42 Bc usually when someone labels you with derogatory language you will at least deny the derogatory nature of it

SpasticBrown Implying that enjoying MLP is a bad thing. Implying being homosexual is a bad thing. Really he's just making himself look dumb by using these things in a negative way.

The goomba was originally black Thank god they changed it to brown

Zenaida Alejo Now Jackie Brown would be Jackie Black and Jack Black would be Jack Brown. Miyamoto, please Give us 1 The new theme-park/casual useless console or 2 - Black Goombas Choose wisely (Indy and The Last Crusade quote)

even he laughed

if hell was real...

Not just you. Even the other guy was like "HEY YOURE GONNA FRICKIN DIE SO JUMP!" And miyamoto was like "yup i intended to die so i could show you why i made a gooma instead of a turtue becuz yaa dee yaaa dee yaaaaa" x-x

Does that not make a lot of points though? :-) They really won at making video games. #addiction

because he's not paying attention to the game really

Gnostic Adept This Guy is Takashi Tesuka

Luigi Star you mean takeshis castle

Big Brody Nope.

Luigi Star yes

BUT PROTO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!? ^.^

No arguing here. SMB, TLL, 2, 3, and 4 (aka World) were all innovative and managed to have a feeling paradoxically both shared by the series aswell as uniqe to each individual game. It's sad they're basically thrashing the series overall loveability with the "New" subseries that's basically a copy of eachother.

+ProtoMario BUT PROTO that was my first mario game i EVER played

+Nintendo Video Gamer So you're saying that TLL isn't a copy of SMB ? And that World isn't a copy of SMB3 with less items ?

It was very fun

Parker Brooks I'm not a retro gamer, but I know 1-1 preeeety well

Parker Brooks HANDS HAVE A BACKSIDE?!!!!

Except the wintergames

Anthony Hernandez true to that buddy

This is not a healthy attitude. Buy their products if you think they are worth it, not because they were in the past. Zealotism is the dream of every company.

*I T S A D O U B L E Y O S H I E X P L O S H I*

Lmao good eye I noticed that too.

The guy on the right doesn't look like he likes 3D Mario, when Miyamoto's talking about it, anywhere near as much as 2D Mario. Super Mario 64 has always struck me as a weird feeling Mario game. It's weird in a Mario game to be given a castle from the very start. Even the Mario model feels less likeable, angular. Sunshine largely feels like a platformer but 64 feels like an abstract adventure where I'm sometimes not clear what I should be doing next or that I'll feel a particular sense of reward when I do it.

It's a cultural behavior

YourPalHDee maybe they're trying to divert attention from their self, in order to "give the floor"

A.L. otter Makes sense

Despite this Nintendo has been in the worst shape its ever been. Perhaps if Mr. Miyamoto spent less time stroking himself in his rock gardens and more time creating new IPs Nintendo wouldn't be the laughing stock of the gaming industry.

I know what you're saying. Nintendo has taken a bit of a dip, but I think they now realise where they've gone wrong and the Switch is a really innovative dockable console, like nothing else in the market. Think we need to cut them some slack. Let's see what happens with the Switch and the new Zelda and Mario games. I don't think Miyamoto has been idle, he's just handed the torch to the younger developers and is performing more of an advisory role now. He's a great role model for the next generation of game developers. Let's see what happens and stay optimistic...

they weren't in 2006 The Wii and DS sold over 100 million copies!

no because he own it

Virtual console dude.

Just thought about it

The Nintendo wii and wii u both have something called "virtual console" which is legal since it's owned by Nintendo anyways..

you guys know that's an xbox contoller right?

but Walt Disney was racist

So were most people in the 40s, you sad sack.

***** yeah, it sucks they cut out flip note and nuetered the ds local chat application.
