Shigeru Miyamoto's designs are inspired on recreating his childhood, with his most famous works including Mario, Donkey Kong and the legend of Zelda. 

Miyamoto grew up in the Japanese town of Sonobe, Kyoto, where the, peaceful surroundings of wooded mountains. and this is where most of the inspiration has come from. the main location, that inspired Miyamoto's creation's was a small cave he discovered. not far from his childhood home. I believe Miyamoto's goal was to recreate the sensations, he experienced throughout his childhood, sadly which many children do not experience today.

Mario, most certainly Miyamoto's most famous design serves as Nintendo's mascot, is an extremely well known character within today's society, and has evolved enormously over the years
