Development Notes: Show More Developed inhouse at Nintendo's Tokyo R&D Facility, conception of Super Mario Odyssey began after Super Mario 3D World released in late 2013. Under director Kenta Motokura, the team experimented to find fun concepts based on the series' "theme of surprise". For example, the team found that throwing a hat was the most pleasing action to perform with the Joy-Con controller, resulting in the hat "capture" game mechanic. The brainstorm resulted in a large number of eccentric prototypes, and the development team sought to incorporate them by orienting the game as a series of dense, sandbox environments. This led to the game's varied kingdom environments, each with unique game mechanics. The development team prioritized the city environment when selecting which environments to represent in Super Mario Odyssey. The team wanted a familiar aspect from the series to anchor players in the novel setting, and so chose Pauline, a character who first appeared alongside Mario in Donkey Kong, to be the mayor of the world known as New Donk City. Some of Mario's in-game costume options reference his various prior appearances in other games of the series, such as Mario's Picross and Super Mario Maker. Shigeru Miyamoto, the series' creator, was not involved in the game's daily decision-making, but rather served as an executive producer, with the development team consulting him on the best ways to express game concepts. Miyamoto's feedback was specific, offering suggestions rather than ultimatums, but was highly supportive overall. Interview Excerpts: Show More Interview Excerpt# 1 N/A
