Super Mario Odyssey har set ganske fremragende ud fra første gang Nintendo viste det frem, men den ikoniske skaber, Shigeru Miyamoto, har faktisk være igennem en fase hvor han har været ganske usikker på spillet.
Faktisk var han særligt nervøs for New Donk City, og hvordan spillere ville reagere på at se Mario i en almindelig by overfor almindelige mennesker. I et interview med IGN siger han følgende:
"I was worried about how players would react to being in a world where Mario is this tall and normal people are a little bit taller. Or the fact that people don't get mad at Mario when he's jumping up and down all over the place. But with all that said, I think I realized that the character Pauline has already existed, and the idea of this game taking place in the city worked out really well. And so we ran with it."
Er du enig med Miyamoto?
