Super Mario Odyssey Producer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, has declared.
“Well, to be perfectly honest, I didn’t really expect that to be a topic among fans,” Koizumi said regarding Mario’s lack of a belly button via a video posted on Twitter.
“Once I heard that people were talking so much about Mario’s belly button, it made me start to think about whether we should revisit the topic on the design side.”
Koizumi also confirmed that the thing on Toad’s head is, well, his head and not a hat.
“So that, as it turns out, is actually Toad’s head,” Koizumi confirmed.
