Lige siden det blev annonceret, at Fox McCloud ville dukke op i The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (du kan læse vores anmeldelse her), har fans spekuleret på, hvorfor Nintendo valgte at vælge dette crossover. Er et nyt Star Fox-spil på vej, kommer der en Star Fox spin-off-film, eller er det måske et forsøg på en Smash Bros.-filmatisering, givet det store antal crossovers fra andre Nintendo-franchises i filmen?
Vi har ikke et svar på det, men vi ved, at én mulighed synes udelukket. Polygon fik mulighed for at interviewe Shigeru Miyamoto selv, Marios skaber, og benyttede lejligheden til at spørge om muligheden for en Smash Bros.-film, og fans, der håbede på det, vil nok ikke bryde sig om svaret:
"Right off the bat, I'll say that unlike something like Super Smash Bros., I don't think you'll have a situation [where] all Nintendo characters would be joining. As you know, my rule is that Pikmin can appear in any [Nintendo] series."
Trist, men det betyder ikke, at vi har set slutningen på cameos i Mario-filmene, tværtimod. Miyamoto bekræfter nærmest, at der kommer mere i fremtiden:
"As we're working on this movie, I re-realized how varied and how multi-talented the Mario cast is. When we had kind of ideas from Illumination about, "What about this character? What about that character?" I was like, "Oh yeah, that's right. We had this. Oh yeah, that's right. We had that character." So it really kind of reaffirmed the varied nature of characters in the Mario world. We have plenty of characters to create a movie, and yet we wanted to add a little bit of spice, a little bit of secret cameos here and there. And you'll see that there's one secret character that plays a big role.
So I think there might be introductions of characters like this potentially in the future, something like that."
Hvad synes du om det, er det godt eller skidt, at der ikke kommer en Smash Bros.-filmatisering?
