\"Fans<\/a><\/p>\n

Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most famous video game designers the world has ever seen and is responsible for giving us classic franchises such as Super Mario<\/a>, Zelda<\/a>, Pikmin<\/a> and Star Fox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of his most critically and commercially successful creations is Mario Kart<\/a>, a series that has sold in excess of 189 million copies worldwide since its inception in 1992 with Super Mario Kart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it has been noted that his name is completely absent from the credits for the latest entry in the franchise, Mario Kart World<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Shigeru Miyamoto is not in the credits of Mario Kart World. <\/p>\n

Not even as a Special Thanks.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Miyamoto hasn’t been credited in a Mario Kart game\u2014his name is also missing from the smartphone release Mario Kart Tour<\/a>\u2014but this is the first mainline instalment which doesn’t appear to have had any input from the legendary designer.<\/p>\n

You may recall that his name didn’t feature<\/a> in last year’s Zelda game, Echoes of Wisdom<\/a>, either.<\/p>\n

On one level, this isn’t all that surprising; Miyamoto has shifted into an advisory role with a wider scope in recent years, as befits his senior standing within Nintendo. However, it does feel odd not to see his name appear in the credits, even as a “special thanks”.<\/p>\n

Were you expecting to see Miyamoto’s name in the game’s credits? Let us know with a comment below. And if you’re interested in seeing those credits for yourself (as seen when you complete the Special Cup), check out this video:<\/p>\n
