Wired has a great interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director of Super Mario Galaxy.
You can thank this guy for there being any backstory to Zelda at all. And for any story in recent Mario games.
| Quote: | | I would sort of try to find sneaky ways to get [story elements] in without them noticing too much," Koizumi said of his early work. "These are aspects of the games that Miyamoto wasn't nearly as fond of, and occasionally didn't like. |
And, he explains the ideas behind Galaxy, Sunshine's influence, and Nintendo's view of games as a hakoniwa
| Quote: | | The whole idea, for me, is about the exploration of a hakoniwa, a miniature garden. It's like a garden in a box, where if you look at it from different angles, you can see different plants and arrangements. And you have that sense of surprise and exploration. There's always things you can find. |
