One of the biggest content additions in Stardew Valley<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s recent 1.5 update is Ginger Island, a new location with several new NPCs, mini-games, puzzles, and collectibles. The tropical location has already become a favorite destination for players, but what many fans likely don\u2019t know about the new island is that it was inspired by Super Mario 64<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Stardew Valley<\/em>\u2019s 1.5 patch<\/a> released on PC in December and added several new features to the game, including a new farm layout, quests, events, mechanics, and items. One of the biggest new additions is Ginger Island, where players are able build a tropical farm, hunt for collectible items, and fight their way through a volcano-themed dungeon. The new location also adds Golden Walnuts, which players can collect to unlock additional content, giving the island even more surprises to uncover.<\/p>\n

The Golden Walnuts, as well as the island itself, were apparently inspired by Super Mario 64<\/em>, according Eric Barone, the sole creator of Stardew Valley<\/em><\/a>. Barone, better known as ConcernedApe, discussed Ginger Island and the 1.5 update in a recent interview with TechRaptor. He said Super Mario 64<\/em>\u2019s \u201copen ended-ness\u201d and use of collectible items to unlock hidden stages was one of the main inspirations behind Ginger Island.<\/p>\n

There was some open-endedness [in Super Mario 64] in how you’d collect things and then unlock things. It’s pretty classic, but I think it’s generally pretty fun.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Golden Walnuts in particular seem to harken back to Super Mario 64<\/em>\u2019s stars<\/a>. Both items enable players to unlock new content after collected, and both are rare items that are rewarded to players for defeating enemies, solving a puzzle, or exploring a location.<\/p>\n

While Super Mario 64<\/em> would not be categorized as an \u201copen world\u201d game today, many regard its willingness to allow players to solve challenges their own way as a major influence on the genre. Ginger Island\u2019s Golden Walnuts<\/a> are just another example of the universality of collectible items in video games and Super Mario 64<\/em>\u2019s enduring relevance.<\/p>\n

While PC players have had access to Stardew Valley<\/em>\u2019s 1.5 update for a couple of months, the patch was just recently released on consoles. In addition to the new content, the update also enables split screen co-op on consoles, allowing players to explore locations such as Ginger Island with a friend sitting by their side. Barone recently confirmed that the update will arrive on mobile devices<\/a>, though he did not specify when.<\/p>\n

Barone also hinted that is not \u201cofficially closing the book\u201d on Stardew Valley<\/em><\/a>, suggesting that more updates are on the way. Perhaps he will continue to take inspiration from classic Nintendo games for future expansions.<\/p>\n

Stardew Valley<\/em><\/strong> is available on mobile devices, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
