One of my favorite video game theories to emerge over the past few years is that Super Mario Bros. 3, with its hanging blocks and curtains, was actually just a stage performance. Turns out, according to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the theory is true
If youāre not familiar with the theory, or by some chance you havenāt seen this image, which has been floating around the web for years now, check this out:
It was always a compelling theory, but it also always seemed more like over-analysis than something Miyamoto and crew had actually had in mind when they designed Super Mario Bros. 3
But! Today on the Nintendo UK Twitter, Miyamoto addressed a handful of Mario myths, including the question, āWas Super Mario Bros. 3 all just a performance?ā His response: YES.
There are so many myths about Marioā¦ Mr Miyamoto reveals the truth. #SuperMario30 http://t.co/OsjfUzSW6D
