Stjurgeon 3D world in a nutshell.

Let's have him as a baby in some games also

Makes me think there was some mistranslation there, it doesn't seem to correlate at all

I think that he more wants the game to be a game for all to play and not just for children. Even though the games look whimsical, they’re hardly just experiences for children

@@slickl9608 you think that Nintendo would make a game like Mario strikers now lol

I call it ironic. :3

@@slickl9608 Which is a decision I can respect, I just don't see why out of all the ways you can push for that vision, he'd have such an issue with the peace sign. Especially next to his insistence that character/story isn't important, Miyamoto didn't really leave much room to change the more kid-focused impression the series was growing.

The v sing is in mario maker

Mario spends Five Nights at Freddy’s? LOL!

I feel like that won’t be marketed, and no one will know about the game for at least a year minimum, maybe even longer The reason is because I doubt they will do such a thing, but will it be wierd, cool, and awesome? Yes, yes it will

Rated M for Mario.

I had the same thought. Hard to tell if it would have had the same charme because we wouldn't have known it any different.

That doesnt even make sense The peace sign is about peace Not about violence

Luigi does it in Luigi’s Mansion, as well, when getting keys and power ups and such.

No wario does that weird w thing with his 3 innermost fingers

Wario actually signs a W. Which is actually the legitimate sign for "W" in ASL funnily enough.

Where did you hear that from?

Wait, so am I the only one who thought that it was referencing Super Mario 64 (scissors), Super Mario Sunshine (paper), Super Mario Galaxy (rock)?

@@MegaPie no,others also thought that

@@MegaPie other people thought that too, he's saying that you could technically play rock paper scissors with the animations

Did you watch the video

@@scriptedspaghetti good question

It kinda makes sense, but even Richter, protagonist of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, did a peace sign around that era, so if a non-kid friendly character can do that sign, why a family-friendly character wouldn't be allowed.

I thought the "peace sign" is pretty common Japanese, especially if you are taking a picture. Kawaii characters tend to do that a lot.

Thanks for this angle, I was honestly confused about that aspect of this story and that clears it up. I felt like I'd missed something haha

Yeah it sounds like a cultural difference we don't really understand outside Japan. I can understand why he never considered Mario a childrens character. The games aren't always easy and his original intent wasn't to aim them at children but older people with complex thinking and timing. Personally though I think it's good that Mario has become so vast because we get such a wide array of game types so there's something for everyone.

I just don't get it how he came up with Mario in the first place, a midget middle aged italian plumber, like what the hell? It's so random, Mario looks more like a shtpost than a hero character

Then that baby disappears and never shows up in a game ever again Bye bye Donkey Kong Jr

Not everything you see on the internet is true, it's like when they say that Miyamoto hates DK Country and he came out to deny that it wasn't true. It has also happened to Akira Toriyama that they say things about him that are not true and to others.

​@@DequerkYeah but they have censored this gesture. The new Mario RPG doesn't even have him make the gesture on victory anymore.

Because children prompt their parents to purchase these games, therefore they make them more targeting to children than adults.

Oh okay. I really thought it was going to be because of the adult entertainment industry, how they do the ✌️ while covered in ...shall we say... white face paint. Yeah. With the way Nintendo and especially Mario want to be known for being as safe and friendly as possible I honestly thought that was going to be it.

Miyamoto have show to be very childish over the years.

@@dsandoval9396 I see you're a man of culture as well.

True

Yeah, there have been several comments pointing out other games since SM64 where Mario can be seen using the gesture. Funny how they haven't been challenged though...

@@jeff_fafa Luigi,s Mansion and TTYD also have the peace sign with Luigi and Koops doing the signs in those games and they came out in 2001 and 2004 respectively, enough said.

holy shit same

I mean, he is Italian. He definitely did talk to some -Nazis- *WWII GERMAN PEOPLE*

I'm guessing he was just so mad that he wanted to do something little to tell himself "he's not a character for kids", the peace sign is usually a pose done to be cute so he decided to target that lol

@@taoxi3807 But it's confusing as they seem to be targeting the younger demographic...

In Japan peace sign is child/girl type of thing

The peace sign over in Japan represents love or a heart, so that's primarily the reason why that gesture got banned.

@@zjzr08 But Shigeru never wanted it to be for kids, he made the game with young adults in mind, which is why he was so mad that Nintendo started marketing it to kids

I wouldn’t be surprised at this point it would just add to the 2020 chaos

*SUPER MARIO SPIKERS*

That'd be a massive sign the world is at its end.

It's the ultimate personalized Mario 64 copy

I read it as "Nintendo bans Mario from Mario"

He takes hallucinogenic mushrooms to make himself more powerful and murders Bowser’s army of actual turtles . . . and I guess he did enslave Donkey Kong

*O H*

@@originalbestdadofgaming I see you've watched that Game Theory hack.

Are you implying that adults aren't allowed to enjoy wholesome wahoo plumbers

No, i'm just joking about how Miyamoto wanted mario to be only made for adults and later on became a character made for everyone of any age

Smash Bros Mario is just hardcore as American Kirby

this is an important point which people all too often forget. it seems like a lot of people simply don't understand the passage of time and don't realise that a massive chunk of Nintendo's original fan base are now adults with their own children.

It's more like the kids Mario was originally marketed to are in their 30s and 40s. They're stilling marketing Mario to kids.

You know, it's really interesting. I was watching a bunch of kids play Mario Kart, and several of them were talking about the different Koopalings they liked. IIRC, lots of fans don't like the Koopalings for taking up so much of the roster. But from what I observed, it seems that the younger audience actually does like them. It really made me think.

@@Mady0 ye bcz how da hell r they'll gonna get new fans if they dont conquer today's kids, they will be 40 year olds in 2050, and the cicle just goes on and on, that's how the world works man, if they just made games for the 80's kids, they would be kinda ruined when the 80's kids get really really old and they wouldn't have any public anymore when the 80's and 90's kids die in 2100. sry if my english is bad im not a native speaker.

@Gabriel 2020 And to kill the monsters!

@Gabriel 2020 I don't think that's what Miyamoto was thinking. Slightly less peaceful, to say the least.

@Gabriel 2020 Which game does a Goomba say that? Cause I've played most of the M&L RPG series, never beat any of them but the original Bowser's Inside Story, and only because I had a classmate to mash a specific button faster than I can even with my good buttonmashing hand (that being my left hand oddly enough, despite me being Right-handed like most humans), and the reward was nothing. We see Bowser about to fight the Mario Brothers, but it's all handled in the ending credits. Anyways, I'd like to hear what game and which Goomba says that Mario stomped on him again? If it's in the Paper Mario games I never played (anything after Super Paper Mario), I'd like to inform you, that the Paper Mario games takes place in a fictional story in the Mushroom Kingdom.

@@zigazav1 well they got lazy at writing as alot of unique characters got replaced with toads

@Gabriel 2020 Exactly!!! Mario is a good person, who despite his flaws and mistakes, still tries his best to do good things!

Or in a Test Build he fliped the middle finger like Luigi on the Render96/SGI Graphics Beta version from Super Mario 64 PC Port.

Yes, it‘s considered as „hornes of a bull“ in some mediterran cultures but the palm faces the other direction as in the „Victory/Peace“-sign I think. It‘s like a raised middlefinger.

Isn't the symbol reversed means "up your *ss"? The hand sign obviously being flipped as being seen from the opposite side (where you do not see any fingers, similar to the middle finger). Hand symbols are strange.

Who would think "Peace" and "Victory" is offensive?

@@1un4cy Gestures aren't universal throughout all countries. In fact, what's appropriate can get very different. It might seem strange to you or me (since I live in a central european country), but it's true that we can't understand other cultures until or unless we live by them ourselves, which usually means growing up or living in another country for a long time. This comment was unnecessary long plus English is not my 1st language!

He also apparently thought Super Paper Mario was too dark for the series. It's his series, and I can respect that, but he's a bit contradictory sometimes.

@@aspenleef I mean, with how many people die in Origami king...it's honestly a bit darker.

@@aspenleef Paper Mario isn't really Miyamoto's, though.

J. Barrett though he is the alleged reason that Sticker Star had no original characters other than Kersti, and why it had no story at all. Then again, Tanabe may just be pushing the blame away from himself

@@Aleks-hp8pr Miyamoto made some suggestions to tone that stuff down a fair bit in Sticker Star and wanted it to not be too similar to TTYD in his eyes, however he did not say to make everyone a generic toad and make everything around disposable stickers and completely throw out RPG stuff, that was Tanabe as far as I'm aware. Heck, from what I heard Miyamoto thought the final version of Sticker Star we got was boring lol.

Mario is not just an uncle, but a Grandpa. He’s an Uncle Grandpa!

I feel as though it's bittersweet, because Mario is still universally charming, at least to me

I guess Miyamoto was reading _War and Peace_ as he was developing the game?

He can also become a hyper realistic T-rex and possess hyper realistic people

@@gamerpigeonakafbi8210 And that is why Peach being possible to possess by Mario and in another idea, Bowser being able to too, was scrapped from Mario Odyssey.

Yup I see it

And fahst foud chains

Lmao

No He Is Form Sonic.............

@Kristen R/wooosh

Yes, but get this: He wasn't supposed to be able to jump in Donkey Kong. He was only given the code to jump after Miyamoto was asked the following question: "What would you do if someone threw a barrel at you?"

That's Mario's dad I think

And Pauline (the damsel in distress in Donkey Kong) isn’t a princess.

Emma Utterback Someone has watched the full timeline on Mario... I remember the Game theorists covered this so you are right.

In smash melee it states that Mario's first video game apperince was donkey Kong.

My god, It's all fluff and repetition, it feels like he never really got to the point. It just hurts to watch, lol

And the reason doesn't even make sense. He thought it was becoming too childish so he banned one particularly gesture which doesn't even have childish associations? Something is missing.

@@Matsubusa69 He really needs to check that shit first.. but by now he should know this kind of info talking about these games so much. I barely keep up with game history and I can remember that. .. and I don't think Pauline was a princess at first either...

He was supposed to be named Mr.Video unless I'm mistaken only in the english localization he is referred to as Jumpman But also this is still Mario, everyone knows this fact but it's pretty irrelevant to the subject I guess

@@Igneeka Damn, I forgot about Mr. Video. That's more obscure for sure since I only knew about Jump Man the most. I'm just saying that if he was trying to get all old names right while trying to show it's who Mario was 'at that time' he could've gotten it right at least to further show the change he went through. I think they added a reference to it in a later game with a song. .. I just haven't played a lot of the more recent Mario games since these tend to make me feel sick trying to play them. x_x I'll stick to just 2D

No it was "Mr Video", Jumpman came later, but it was more of a nickname until they decided to call him Mario. And Pauline was called simply "Lady", and I don't think she was a princess.

Mario's persona in Smash is the real Mario Miyamoto had envisioned

@@Dash120z It's all so clear now...
