Casa Brutus #308 - Super Mario

What is this issue about?  The December issue of Casa Brutus is dedicated to the 40th anniversary of one of the most recognizable and celebrated Japanese icons worldwide: Super Mario. 

Released on September 13, 1985 , and celebrating its 40th anniversary this year , Super Mario Bros. sold around 40 million copies worldwide , sparking a massive phenomenon at the time as the best-selling video game of all time. Since then, with each new console released, Mario has continued to evolve, surpassing a cumulative total of 450 million units sold across the series.

What story lies behind the birth of Mario, who ushered in the golden age of video games and became one of the world's most famous icons? In this issue, CASA BRUTUS has conducted an extensive interview with his creator, Shigeru Miyamoto , CEO of Nintendo.

From the secrets of the pixelated design born from the limitation of a ROM memory of barely 40 kilobytes , to valuable development materials and the evolution of the character, this issue dissects the world of Mario in depth from a design perspective.
