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

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

What is the untold story behind Mario’s creation, which opened the door to the golden age of video games and turned him into one of the world’s most famous icons? In this issue, Casa Brutus presents an extensive interview with his creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, Executive Director at Nintendo.

From the secrets of pixelated design born from the limitation of a mere 40-kilobyte ROM, to valuable development materials and the evolution of the character, this issue offers an in-depth exploration of Mario’s world from a design perspective.
