What specific Nintendo Power was the Miyamoto interview from? It'd be better sourced if it said.

== Move to ''Mario 128''? == | |||
{{talk}} | |||
A new [https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-10-pikmin-4-part-1/ Pikmin 4 interview] mentioning ''Super Mario 128'' made me realize that the project has always been referred to officially as just ''Mario 128'', such as in Miyamoto's GDC keynote and in the [https://archive.li/V5LPS ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Iwata Asks interview] . Even in the title screen for the demo, it is just called ''Mario 128''. The name ''Super Mario 128'' seems to only have been ever used for the Event Match in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and once by Miyamoto in a January 1997 Nintendo Power [https://web.archive.org/web/20110927050910/http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/0197.shtml interview], but the demo itself has otherwise been consistently called ''Mario 128'', and the Nintendo Power interview was before any development for a ''Super Mario 64'' sequel even started and in the interviews concerning the project he consistently referred to it as ''Mario 128'' as far as I know. Since this title appears to be used even today by Nintendo developers, shouldn't we move the page to ''Mario 128''. [[User:1468z|1468z]] ([[User talk:1468z|talk]]) 11:25, July 18, 2023 (EDT) | |||
You're right about the title card. I'm assuming the name comes from the background of the tech demo, which reads "Super Mario 128". If it was supposed to lead into the next mainline platformer, "Super Mario 128" would follow the naming convention of the series. Everyone referring to it as "Mario 128" is likely just a time-saving measure, similar to how SM64 was shortened to "Mario 64" in Odyssey.
