| The Ghost of RubangB said: He's talking about Donkey Kong and he heard it from Miyamoto! Miyamoto explained it in the Iwata Asks interview about New SMB Wii. At first Donkey Kong only let you climb up and down ladders to dodge the barrels. Then Miyamoto realized the best gameplay concept is to have 2 things that are easy to do alone, but hard to do together, like running and jumping. So he added the jumping. Then both Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. were expanding on the jumping concept, so jumps could be used as attacks (from below in MB and from above or below in SMB). EDIT: ::high-fives Farmageddon:: |
Yeah :)
Iwata Asks are awesome, there's always something you wouldn't expect.
