Miyamoto And Friends Evaluate Fan-Made Mario Flipnotes
To celebrate Mario’s recent 25th anniversary, Nintendo held a contest asking users of the DSi’s Mario Flipnote to make special cartoons. The creators of Super Mario Bros. watched and critiqued the best of the best, offering unique commentary on some pretty adorable Mario toons.
Mario creators Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, and Yoshiaki Koizumi’s evaluations are humorously introspective.
Describing the image above, Tezuka says “I like the indescribable mood and the expression in this video. Mario, sitting on the edge of the sofa, seems strangely real. I also thought the punch line was funny.”
Yes, strangely real.
Additionally, Miyamoto appears to have a keen ear for illegal sound effects.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
