Cita:HereÔÇÖs a bit of Super Mario Galaxy 2 development trivia for you: the game could have featured Nintendo characters.Resumen para los que no sepan english:
According to director Koichi Hayashida, there were proposals to include characters from the Big NÔÇÖs other franchises ÔÇô like Donkey Kong or Pikmin ÔÇô but Shigeru Miyamoto was very unsupportive of the idea. Miyamoto felt that there needed ÔÇ£to be a functional reason to include characters of a certain type in a game.ÔÇØ
Hayashida said:
ÔÇ£One of the early proposals that we discussed for Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the possibility of including characters from other [Nintendo] franchises. For example, you might have Donkey Kong or Pikmin show up. We presented this to Mr. Miyamoto, but he came down pretty hard, saying that there has to be a functional reason to include characters of a certain type in a game. He went to specify precisely why the Pikmin wouldnÔÇÖt work. In the Pikmin games, youÔÇÖll notice that all the Pikmin are very thin ÔÇö tall and narrow for their frame. Mario enemies tend to be on the short and squat side and thereÔÇÖs a functional reason for that. TheyÔÇÖre easier to stomp on. TheyÔÇÖre lower so you can get above them and broader so you can land on them. In that sense, Pikmin are just not well suited for the Mario universe.ÔÇØ
Hayashida also answered a question regarding the possibility of Donkey Kong becoming the main villain of a Mario game again.
His response:
If we encountered a situation with a proper gameplay context, we would consider it. Lets say if we were building a level and functionally it called for someone to throw barrels at you, then Donkey Kong would be appropriate. But now that I think about it, maybe we have a situation where, at the end of Super Mario 3D Land, Bowser throws fireballs at you from the end of the stage. And we didnt use Donkey Kong there so

Hayashida quería meter en Mario Galaxy 2 a otros personajes de las sagas de Nintendo, entre ellos Donkey Kong y Pikmin. Se lo enseñaron a Miyamoto y este dijo que ni por asomo. Según Miyamoto, tiene que haber una razón funcional para incluir a los personajes en este tipo de juego. Y lo explica perfectamente con los Pikmins que no son adecuados para el mundo de Mario.
Luego Hayashida comenta la posibilidad de que vuelva Donkey Kong como villano en un juego de Mario. Si encuentran una situación especifica, pues lo considerarían.
