ID software actually created the first side scrolling platformer on a computer. Before then, computers had a hard time redrawing the background like the NES did. To solve this problem, John Carmack thought to just redraw the important parts of the background instead of the entire background. "Since the sky is always blue, why redraw it?" To test this out, him and his friends, John Romero and Tom Hall, recreated Super Mario Bros. 3 pixel by pixel, by hand, which they shipped to Nintendo hoping to gain authorization to make an official port. This would latter become the template to the game Commander Keen.

A teleportation plasmid was planned for the first game but was cut, as it could be used to break the game's script during certain events. This plasmid was referenced as an Easter egg in Bioshock 2 in the Fontaine Futuristics level as an "Unstable Teleport Plasmid" that teleports around the level when the player interacts with it.

Attachment The first production builds of the Famicom had different controllers. The original controllers featured rubber squares buttons. These controllers were reworked due to their weak lockout and soft buttons that could be worn down. Future Famicom controllers had buttons that were round and hard, instead of square and rubbery.

Pikmin
Pikmin (2001)

Attachment Pikmin was based on a tech-demo titled "Super Mario 128", and was designed to showcase the Gamecube's ability to utilize multiple AIs. The demo featured 128 Marios dismantling a pseudo-8 bit Mario sprite composed of several blocks by picking up and carrying them away. The demo also featured the ability to warp the terrain, which influenced the free-form gravity in Super Mario Galaxy. The demo later became Pikmin after Shigeru Miyamoto asked his team to create an entirely new game that would be nothing like a sequel to a Mario game.
