Miyamoto rejected two of Konno’s demos, saying, “Despite all this effort, it’s probably just not going to be fun like this.” It was Miyamoto who came up with the solution-instead of making Mario heavier or slower, he inserted an invisible block over Mario’s head so that when he jumped, he bumped against something. At first, Konno tried to make Mario heavier and slower when the Micro-Goombas clung to him, but the result didn’t feel right. Konno, who wrote many of the enemy specs for SMB3, said that rather than talking about the “essence of Mario” during SMB3’s development, Miyamoto focused on asking, “Is that fun?” and “Does that feel right?” For example, Konno struggled with the mechanics of the Micro-Goomba enemy, tiny Goombas who swarm around Mario and stunt the height of his jumps.
