<p>Rounding off 2020 in the nicest way possible, Nintendo decided to treat fans to <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/12/watch_nintendo_direct_-_super_nintendo_world_special_live">a bonus Direct presentation</a> to show off the upcoming <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/tags/super-nintendo-world">Super Nintendo World</a> theme park in Japan. It looks absolutely stunning, but there was one particularly surprising fact given away during the show.</p>
<p>The Direct was hosted by none other than Mario creator himself, Shigeru Miyamoto; the industry icon took us on a tour of the park, showing off the amazing sights and sounds it’ll have to offer next year. But that wasn’t all he did.</p>
<p>Not once, but twice, he took the time to confirm that he is, in fact, Mario and Luigi’s <em>actual</em> father. The following images aren’t part of some fancy caption contest we held – these words <em>really</em> came out of Miyamoto’s mouth and will now certainly be treated as canon.</p>

<p>Don’t believe us? Look, Nintendo’s even tweeting about it:</p>

<p><em>Simply amazing.</em></p>
<p>Will you ever be able to look at Mario and Luigi in the same way again?
