Super Mario 128 is the name of a series of projects by Nintendo to create a sequel to Super Mario 64. The project experimented with new technology and ideas to incorporate into later games. A demo of the project was released by Nintendo. The demo featured over one hundred Marios on screen at once. Other features of the demo included the use of "rapid generation", later seen in the game Pikmin, and "sphere walking", seen in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy. Some confuse Super Mario 128 with Super Mario Galaxy, a game that incorporates the experiments from the Super Mario 128 project. However, Super Mario Galaxy may be the culmination of the project's work, as Super Mario 128 sought to create an innovative sequel to Super Mario 64.
Recently, though, during his keynote speech at the Game Developers Conference 2007, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed what eventually happened to Super Mario 128. "What happened to Mario 128?" said Miyamoto at the end of his keynote, "most of you already played it...," then the screen showed that Mario 128 equaled Pikmin.
