This great title from the classic Wii catalog continues to leave us curious details. Did you know this fact about the development of Super Mario Galaxy?
Super Mario Galaxy
Apparently, Zelda: Ocarina of Time was very present in the development of this Mario title. This was because the idea of Pataladro boss skin of the game had originally been considered for the Zelda title, specifically for the final boss.
However, Link’s vision wasn’t the best and they had to scrap the idea of him climbing up the boss and hitting him on it. After this, when they started developing Mario Galaxy, one of the first concepts they introduced was this and Pataladro thus became the first boss they designed for the title.
Undoubtedly a very curious fact that you can see here:
