How a Yoshi Prototype Turned Into Super Mario 64

This Super Mario 64 documentary details the development of the video game Super Mario 64 and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how Shigeru Miyamoto first had the idea for a 3D Mario game during the development of Star Fox on the SNES and how it was later inspired by a Yoshi prototype that was pitched by the UK-based development studio Argonaut Software.

The documentary also explores the many trials and tribulations the development team faced and takes a look at the many design decisions that were made during development of the Nintendo 64 launch title. Super Mario 64 became a huge success for Nintendo and was one of the main contributing factors of the Nintendo 64’s initial popularity. It also set a new standard for 3D platformers and even to this day, it’s still considered to be one of the best platformers around.
