Sakurai details the making of Smash Bros. Ultimate's 'Classic Mode' mural

An insane amount of work went into every single aspect of Smash Bros. Ultimate. So much time spent on art, music, gameplay mechanics, and so much more. In a quick snippet with Famitsu, we get some insight into one tiny feature, the Classic Mode mural.

A few members of the staff worked on it, offering up a stylistic caricature while maintaining the integrity of the design, all the while fine-tuning their work. In addition to getting an OK from me, though, we had to go through and get the OK from each IP’s original publisher, so it took a lot more time and effort than just having to draw it.”
