Top: In Nintendo Power’s Mario Mania guide, published in 1991, Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned Mario possibly wearing metallic clothes in the future. Five years later, in 1996, the Metal Cap appeared in Super Mario 64. Since normally, games have development cycles shorter than five years, this could be chalked up to coincidence, however…
Bottom: In Nintendo Power Issue 80, released in January 1996, Miyamoto revealed that work on Super Mario 64 began five years prior, in 1991. This makes it possible that the comment on metallic clothes was intentional foreshadowing on Miyamoto’s part.
