Shit game design
Miyamoto prides himself on creating products with mass market appeal, viewing games as toys and products first and foremost. He has even been seen using his influence and power to sabotage the works of other creators that deviate from his maxims of design. This often leads him into direct conflict with Bis, as the two's clashing ideology leaves them almost unable to share a room together without engaging in combat.

Biography
Miyamoto was born in Sonobe, a rural town northwest of Kyoto, and spent his childhood exploring the local woods, this is where he first encountered remnants of Plumbers civilisation. His study of the plumber ruins outside of Sonobe would later go on to inspire his work on the critically acclaimed 'Super Mario Brothers' franchise.

He eventually studied at and graduated from Kanazawa Municipal College of Industrial Arts with a degree in industrial design. Originally intending to become a mangaka, Miyamoto instead started working at Nintendo after a chance encounter with Wario, who saw potential in the repressed darkness with Miyamoto's heart. Miyamoto, excited to have found a surviving plumber allowed himself to be coerced and influenced, not knowing about Fallen Plumbers like Wario, and the danger they pose.

Miyamoto worked on many landmark titles, contributing to the 'Legend of Zelda', 'Super Mario', 'Pikmin', 'Star Fox' and 'F Zero' franchises, which all took inspiration from ancient Plumber artifacts and myths. During this time he became close friends with Masahiro Sakurai, who he spent a large amount of time working along side due to Nintendo's close relations with Hal. Although their friendship would later be strained by Sakurai's growing tensions with Wario, who's dark aura Sakurai could sense.
