Shigeru Miyamoto explains why Mario does not fight Bowser in Super Mario Bros.

Shigeru Miyamoto said Nintendo replaced a conventional Bowser battle with a jump over him and an axe at the end of the bridge. He linked the decision to the team’s difficulty creating a boss fight and the NES’s limited hardware.

  • In Super Mario Bros., Bowser usually falls into lava after Mario hits the axe.
  • Shigeru Miyamoto linked the lack of a conventional battle to the NES’s limitations and development challenges.
