Pressure from up high to make a movie. Might as well embrace it and try to do his best.

Couldn't you make the case that putting all the story into a movie is exactly how he plans on not having story in mario games?

I guarantee you every creative decision was greenlit by Miyamoto. Whatever the screenwriter credit is, it's ghostwritten by Miyamoto.

But he also had weird policies over RPG's which specifically are story focused

I thought those policies were mostly on disallowing new variants of characters like Toad rather than actual story limitations.

Never realized this as a kid, but Miyamoto is just kind of a weird dude. In his 60s but acts like a 13 year old, and he measures furniture for fun.

It does have a story, along with every other Mario game outside of the spin offs and rogs so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Hes generally against new characters and backstorys. Which I believe is why he had issues with Rosalina.

Yeah and now we have Keegan-Michael Key voicing Toad.

I also have a feeling he wouldn't allow characters like DK

DK and Cranky Kong are in the movie. DK is voiced by Seth Rogan and Cranky is Fred Armisen.

I'm talking about the RPG's. Who were stuck with a limited cast of specific characters done in a specific way.

Isn't that a relatively new thing with just the newer Paper Mario games? I feel like he just decides on a whim what the rules are for the day. Like Mario + Rabbids wouldn't exist with whatever mindset he had for the PM game.

This is what I'm thinking. Yes he's been demanding on projects he's not in charge of, like Mario RPGs and stuff, but this isn't a video game. So for once, seems like he'll actually be in a position where people can tell him no lol.

Honestly this movie seems like it's Nintendo trying its hardest to take Mario as a brand to the next level. So they probably gave Meladandri and the writers the keys and told them to go nuts.

I think it has been around for at least a decade now. Miyamoto wanted the Mario brand to be consistent across all games. So no focus on story, same core cast of characters for the most part etc.

I don't think Mario + Rabbids contradicts any rules. They could get creative with the Rabbids but there's really not many Mario characters in it.

It for sure is. Look at top grossing franchises of all time... and Mario is up there big time for sure, but with a catch. You'll notice all these franchises that seem to have a great variety of reasons why they are at the top, but Mario.. it's all because of his games. They're desperately trying to find ways to break into the other markets with him. The lego, the movie, the theme park, these are all attempts at trying to make Mario truly a character they can build an empire with in the same way Disney did with Mickey. If he only is a gaming icon, well, that's good for their gaming division, but that means that's all he's good for.
