Super Mario Odyssey personage art lead Sho Murata onthulde in de vertaalde The Art of Super Mario Odyssey dat ze aanvankelijk dachten aan een drastische kostuumverandering voor Luigi binnen de minigame, maar uiteindelijk besloten ze dit niet te doen.
Helaas hebben ze die andere look niet al te veel laten doorschemeren.
Luigi in Super Mario Odyssey
Luigi hosts the Balloon World minigame. We wanted players to feel welcome in this minigame, so we gave him a cheerful and casual attitude, like a performer passing out balloons on the street. We wanted to make it seem like he came directly from the Mushroom Kingdom, so in contrast to the sticker-laden Odyssey, his satchel sports only stickers from the Mushroom Kingdom. One of the stickers is actually out of circulation…
We considered a drastic costume change for Luigi at first, but we ultimately went with a simple look, since it would work well against the background of this game’s world.
I wonder… including the Luigi green, did you notice his balloons are the same colors as Super Famicom controller buttons? To the many fans who were looking to his appearance in the game, know that the designer in charge put a lot of effort into Luigi’s development.
Ik hou van het oog voor detail als het gaat om de Super Famicom-kleurenopstelling. Daar heb ik eigenlijk nooit aan gedacht. Maar dat is gewoon geweldig!
