Development of this started after the development of Mario64. (everyone knows how much time Nintendo takes and the N64 was designed for Mario64)


The prototype name was Springman which is somewhat a parody of Jumpman, Marios "original" name.  (spring is not only a tool to help people jump higher it also means jump  in general)

And it was NOT MADE by Sony. So I fail to see how SONY did anything at all.


well-how much time took nintendo between the last two 2D Marios,or the last two 3D marios?

Actually e is right. Mario 64 was originally designed ad had a finished concept in the snes era. Right after Starwing ( Starfox ) came out on snes, work began on a 3d mario. To be released on the FX chip. Near completion  they switched it to N64 to improve the control ( analog stick ) and greatly improve the world size and visual fidelity. 

Basically Mario 64 was in development for almost 5 years.
