In 1997, Japanese video game magazine The 64 Dream published an interview with Nintendo game designers Shigesato Itoi and Shigeru Miyamoto. Would there be a sequel to smash success Mario 64?

That other thing is an axolotl, an amphibian renowned for its ability to regenerate lost body parts, including some sections of its brain.
Knowing any of this does nothing alter to your enjoyment of the video.
