Miyamoto Breaks down Super Mario Bros. 1-1

Eurogamer recently sat down with Shigeru Miyamoto to discuss the creation of Super Mario Bros World One, Level One (1-1). Watching Miyamoto play through the level and explain the design philosophy behind it was amazing. You can watch the video below.

With Super Mario Maker launching in North America on September 11, this video is extra interesting as it allows fans – and future Super Mario Maker players – to hear what planning went into creating one of the most iconic Super Mario levels ever.

We have been playing lots of Super Mario Maker in the last week, and although we will never get to the level of Miyamoto, it would not surprise me if other people manage to harness the creative mind seen in this video and use it to create interesting, creative, and sometimes evil, levels.

If you are grabbing Super Mario Maker on September 11th, feel free to email ([email protected]) or Tweet (@adamroffel) your level IDS. We will share our favorites on twitter and on the website!
