Supper Mario Broth @Mario BrothBlog The only reason Mario can jump in Hotel Mario is because Hollie Lohff, the daughter of one of the engineers, suggested it during playtesting. The game both includes her in the credits for this advice, as well as displaying a hidden message on her birthday. In a 2022 interview with Stephen Radosh, executive producer of Hotel Mario, he states: "Unlike other Mario titles, jumping wasn't going to be a feature on Hotel Mario. We didn't feel that it was essential to the gameplay. One of our engineers [Thomas Lohff] brought his daughter, Hollie, to the studio, so we had her try out the game. She told us that it was strange playing a Mario game that didn't allow jumping. We took her advice and retooled it so that Mario could jump. It was a good idea, and we added her to the credits because of it." PLAY CONSULTANT HOLLIES. LOHFF In the credits, Hollie S. Lohff appears as a "play consultant". However, she was also honored in another, more secret way: qurce:gamesreviews.com/news/07/stephen-radosh-a-qa-with-the-creator-of-hotel-mario; torf.net/Hotel Mario MORTON AND HIS NUTTY GROUP ARE PREPARING FOR YOUR ARRIVAL ITS HOLLIES BIRTHDAY!

He deleted all his socials in 2020, so I'm trying to collect as much art of his as I can from reposts across the web. However, for this specific piece, I happened to have it on an old hard drive! This was from back when Tumblr still served raw images, so its resolution pretty high.
26 Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Several pieces of information regarding cut Hotel Mario content exist. I propose an Iggy's Cheese Hotel Theory that suggests that they may be all connected. The facts: The following is known about unused content in Hotel Mario The Missing Number In the game's files, the hotels are numbered. However, the hotel number 6 is missing. The game proceeds from Ludwig's hotel, number 5, straight to Wendy's hotel, number 7. While the intro mentions "seven Koopa hotels", Bowser's final hotel is number 8. The Cheese Hotel According to a 2007 interview with the game's background artist, Trici Venola, she clearly remembers a rejected design for a hotel in the game based on cheese, which was conceptualized by a person who was fired from the position before she was hired for it. The speculation: + ource: web.archive.org/web/2007121015455plackmoon classigaming gamespp.com/interviewsrivenola home for nettone Mario No Hotel for Iggy Iggy is the only Koopaling that doesn't have his own hotel. Instead, he is battled as a miniboss before the final Bowser battle. As in the vast majority of Koopalings' appearances, they each have their own levels, this raises suspicion that Iggy was planned to have a hotel. Could all these factors be connected? It is possible that Iggy was planned to be in charge of the cheese hotel After the concept was rejected, not enough time could have remained to make a new hotel, leading to the gap.
