You sure you read it right(except for the whole gamecube power show-off):
Source Wrote:Surprisingly, he went on to explain that while it was simply a tech demo showing off the power of the GameCube, it was also a kind of proof of concept that is still influencing design decisions today. First up, it was used as a basis for Pikmin's many on-screen characters and AI, but more importantly, it is now influencing Super Mario Galaxy's free-form level design and gameplay.
And what about the other sources that strongly suggest my theory?
Granted,even if my theory is wrong,it's still one good trivia.
