    It wasn’t just a harder version.

    Miyamoto handed it off to another director, and wasnt really focused. It broke the game design rules that he created. Power ups were supposed to reward you. The game had a lot of unfairness for the sake of messing with players.

      Aren’t there statements about his mental state attributing to the design having these changes? I could’ve sworn I read something about the poison mushroom being too controversial and a whole thing about him (Miyamoto) seeking therapy.
