Why Elephants are in Super Mario Bros Wonder

- So, Elephant Mario in Super Mario Bros Wonder, huh? What's the deal with that? Let's talk about it.
Specifically, let's talk about why this happened. Mario Wonder director Shiro Mouri has explained exactly why the developers at Nintendo decided to put this particular power-up in the game.
The reason: because it makes the game easier. Cool.
But wait, there's more: did you know that Shigeru Miyamoto hated the original design of Elephant Mario?
You did?
Oh.
Then, what am I even doing here?
Oh well, at least the video's short, right? If this was a different channel the video would be exactly eight minutes and one second long, and would feature a load of footage from trailers and no real substance.
Brevity. That's what we've got going for us here. That and a picture of Shigeru Miyamoto as an elephant, flipping a table.
Anyways, thanks for watching. You're very much in the minority in that you a) chose to watch this video, and b) chose to read the description all the way to the end.
You are appreciated. Thank you.
Lots of love,
BretonStripes and Kotor

Basically, the Elephant is an evolution to the Super Mushroom, since both were designed to make Mario bigger, thus making it a little easier to grab coins and hit higher blocks.
That actually makes a lot of sense actually. Never knew that at all. Thank you for telling me about that!
I cringe at your pfp stating this comment. The evolution of the super mushroom is the MEGA MUSHROOM an item which is literally in the game since New Mario bros DS... how are you that moronic to say its the evolution while the mushroom just makes him bigger and the apple AN ELEPHANT. They inventor of mario didnt even like it himself so stop yapping nonsense. Where is spraying water and hitting blocks from the side a natural evolution? Stop making things up
The moral of the story: the unexpected should sometimes be expected.
“Expect the unexpected” is literally something said in the Direct
Yep fr.
They actually said "It's time to talk about the literal elephant in the room." 🐘 🤣
Ikr? That part got me dying laughing on the floor! 🤣
Hope we get an artbook one day with the rejected elephant designs, I'm curious about them
So the elephant apple turns Mario functionally into Wario
I still couldn't believe that the characters can still jump high when they're elephants. 😄🐘
Easy. Elephants are amazing animals. They're smart, strong, big, majestic, and have that unique trunk that's useful for plenty of situations. Not to mention, they're quite adorable as calves. There's a reason why elephants are among one of the most iconic animals in both history and pop culture as well as many countries such as Thailand and India where elephants are heavily admired. 🐘
This process of outlining what the character has to do during gameplay beforehand is basically how they arrived at the concept of squid-kid hybrids of Splatoon... And it was also a great success.
Just seeing that Yoshi getting squished is making me think of that one Simpsons gag. "Stop, stop, he's already dead!"
XD
Give it to Nintendo for coming up with new ideas with their ip’s no matter how crazy
real
I don't care what everyone says, i actually like the elephants. They remind a lot of old Disney films like Fantasia.
Same here, lol.
@@thedraftingax5963 So Toadette and Peach become Pink Elephants.🎶🎶 ( Look Out, look out Pink Elephants on parade hippy hop, their here Pink Elephant everywhere. What I do, what I do, what un unusual view).
@@orangeslash1667 Yep, pretty much as well as with the rest of the playable characters, too. 😂
I'm glad we still got this video! Keep it up! Always loving it!
I want to see a Super Mario Wonder / FFXIV crossover where Elephant Mario gets confused for an Arkasodora. XD
So… How long before “no elephant” Speedruns happen 🤔😂
Elephants are in Wonder because they want to make us FEEL wonder again - like we did with Mario 3. The delay in bringing Mario 3 to the west was massive, and the hype was bonkers - there was a rumor about Mario having a laser gun. And the game DELIVERED! Mario could grow a raccoon tail and use it to FLY!
You should make a video regarding Tomb Raider Collection being on the Switch!
better than a hippo… or a camel
do NOT wanna see mario camel
Your very own camel (watch out - they spit)!
My grandma loved Elephants
the other moral of the story is that you don't always have to listen to your boss (i mean within reason, we wouldn't wanna be tooooo subversive 😏)
My first thought more was that the internet is gonna do even more bad things to them now
Yeah I didn't think "why...?" upon seeing it for the same reason I havent thought "why" about any of the other Mario power-ups for years. Mushrooms that make Mario grow? Flowers that make him throw fire? Racoon suit that allows him to fly? I don't understand what's so surprising about an elephant
It’s because he straight up becomes an elephant. No suit shenanigans at all. Sure, Odyssey exists, but this is 2D Mario, and an elephant sounds kinda niche on paper. It was a crazy surprise.
@@schwa4883 yeah I realized this after commenting that lol
@@nightwatch3889 Nah, you’re good. Now we can all appreciate the Power of the Elephant™️.

Well, elephants never forget...
Just like we'll never forget Charles Martinet and Mario
And, you guys should talk about Enchanted Portals, the "Cuphead ripoff"
My 6 year old does like the elephant power up best.
hope you make a video on ttyd remake
So, you are saying that Miyamoto didn't visit the Zoo one day?
Never meet your heroes
They had cats. They had racoons. Why not elephant?
*cat suit , and racoon suit - they still had their faces and bodies as usual, just inside a suit. This actually transforms them into elephants, not just a suit.
Yoshi should be dead with all the weight of his friends as elephants on his body.
Awesome video
Elephant Peach & Daisy are a mistake
Way to address the elephant in the room!…. No need to show me the door *fades away*
Y'all old daisy a apologize making that damn video telling people Nintendo forget about her that she was being replaced.
As if they will apologie for that, they didn't even talk about Daisy in their video (you know that character that Rosalina shoud replace but yet can't even be in a mario platform game) . It's just some clickbait video with no interest, care or even search that only naive people could believe.
@@mirai4738 I know. They have too much pride to admit they were wrong. I just hate how they gaslight all the clowns on the net just for clicks and views.
Because where on crack, next question!
Ganesh
I freaken HATE the elephants!
Hitting blocks from the side , and watering plants?
Isn't that what Peach did in her old game?
What's Peach going to have in her new game?
Hope it's not old Mario stuff.
I burst out laughing when you were talking about Miyamoto's comment, and honestly, I think it's a red flag when the Big Cheese himself isn't happy with the power up.
They should’ve added wario instead
Instead of who? 🤨
@@jangospencer3906 if they wanted to make a heavy character for levels, Wario should have been included for like let’s say those captain toad levels in 3-D world
@@jangospencer3906 and also I think Wario with him a better character than making the elephant apple, but I don’t hate the elephants
@andyalex115 You do know Wario is a villain right?
@@INFERNO95 he’s more of an anti hero then villain
😅😅
First 😊
