Miyamoto confirmed that Peach's family origins revealed in the film are considered canon in the Mario universe, stating, 'Before making this movie, I hadn't decided on the character's backstory, but now that I'm making the movie...'

Last year changed the way many of us thought about software. It certainly changed the way I did. I spent much of 2025 building, probing, and questioning how to build software, and in many more ways what I want to do.

We believe we can respect each other as creators and make games together. And I think with Hyung-Tae, we can even enjoy the hard parts....
