He wanted to stop Mario from using his peace sign gesture and have him stop smiling and laughing for no good reason, due to those qualities factoring in what he felt was not right.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Bivens, Danny|date=January 23, 2014|url=www.nintendoworldreport.com/translation/36353/shigeru-miyamoto-speaks-an-interview-between-itoi-and-miyamoto-from-1999-part-4-shigeru-miyamoto-speaks-about-his-vision-of-the-future-five-years-from-now|title=Shigeru Miyamoto Speaks: An Interview Between Itoi and Miyamoto from 1999 β Part 4: Shigeru Miyamoto speaks about his vision of the future five years from now|publisher=Nintendo World Report|accessdate=April 12, 2024 (Translated from [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/nin8/nin8_4.htm this interview])|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140228193902/http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/translation/36353/shigeru-miyamoto-speaks-an-interview-between-itoi-and-miyamoto-from-1999-part-4-shigeru-miyamoto-speaks-about-his-vision-of-the-future-five-years-from-now}}</ref> He also wanted the game to have more mature graphics and a more grown-up version of the title character, even going so far as having an interview in an issue of the Japanese magazine ''Playboy Weekly'', promising that the game would have a fresh new experience.<ref>{{cite|author=Gantayat, Anoop|language=en|date=December 10, 2002|url=www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/10/nintendo-talks-pikmin-2-and-mario-128|title=Nintendo Talks Pikmin 2 and Mario 128|publisher=IGN|accessdate=April 12, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20141012232148/https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/10/nintendo-talks-pikmin-2-and-mario-128}}</ref> | In 1999, Miyamoto expressed his disapproval over the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] being increasingly marketed to young children, believing that players would grow out of those kinds of games when they reached middle school.
