QUOTE:
Iwata: Then, because he jumped up and down [in Donkey Kong], he became known as ‘Jumpman’, right?
Miyamoto: Well, I called him ‘Mr. Video’. My plan was to use the same character in every video game I made.
Iwata: So you had that plan right from the start? Why did you intend to use him in every video game you made?
Miyamoto: Well, I thought the way Hitchcock cropped up in all the films he directed was really cool! [laughs]
Iwata: [laughs]
Miyamoto: Or take manga artists like Osamu Tezuka and Fujio Akatsuka who have the same character popping up in a variety of different works. I think I was probably influenced by that at the time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiac5qfunujhnlkhhvuezyp27dhv4ibt4b5chirhe3uv6nei7bcptu)
