Miyamoto on Wario Fart Attacks
Published on: 25th November, 2009
With New Super Mario Bros. Wii safely in stores and racking up all kinds of critical praise in Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto was more than happy to sit down with Famitsu magazine this week to discuss some of the details behind his latest game’s design.
Some of the highlights:
- Why did Nintendo decide to have two Toad characters accompany Mario and Luigi in multiplayer? “Mario and Luigi are the same as always, of course, and suggestions for the other two characters included Wario and Waluigi, Toad, and Princess Peach,” Miyamoto said. “The thing is that with Wario he’d need to have a fart attack, Peach would have to be able to fly with her skirt, and so on. With this game we wanted every character to play the same way.”
