## Official description

***"The Lucky Block CRiTORA**. Miyamoto is always thrilled for adventure and filled with surprises he must uncover by himself as the days fly by. The tiny elf that follows him everywhere can jump, hit him, and provide him with supplies used either to play or to battle, yes, yes!"*

## Character

### Physical appearances

Miyamoto is a red and crimson cube with white screws on the area corresponding to his face, which, additionally, has pie-cut pupils and black drop-shaped eyebrows. His arms are black, and his hands consist of white gloves.

The elf has white skin, pointed ears, and pie-cut pupils. Its body is black, has crimson feet, and wears a red, conical cap.

### Personality

*To be written*

Once it notices Miyamoto has finished with his sentences, the tiny elf repeats either the last words or the key words said by him. There are exceptions, like when Miyamoto is furious.

## Story

### *CRiTORA: Abnormal*

*To be written*

Miyamoto accompanies Paratchet to Cakepod's Curious Confectioneries, now ran by  Mitzi Cakepod, who had been struggling to keep the place up and running. Miyamoto orders a bag of cookies, which fall and crumble. He pays Mitzi for them despite Paratchet's disappointment.

When Paratchet asks about Isaac's whereabouts, Miyamoto assumes that he is deleted, as CRiTORA cannot die. He gets into an argument with Paratchet about it, provoking  Scrappy Junkworx and  JUNKY, who tell them to quiet down. Because of this, Miyamoto and Paratchet do not look at each other for the rest of the day.

The following day, Miyamoto is invited to play laser tag with Paratchet, Derek, and Nonsense. However, when Nonsense asks what Isaac is up to, and after attacking Paratchet, who had answered it, Miyamoto realizes about what he told her at the Food District and furiously leaves the stage. Before allowing her to speak, he knocks her back, saying that the last time he tried to visit him, his house was destroyed.

Paratchet has no choice but to confront Miyamoto with force. The elf, scared, hides inside his boxy body, and they fight throughout the arcade, disrupting some of the CRiTORA's activities in the process. One of Miyamoto's strongest strikes is at the bowling alley, where he launches Paratchet towards a shooter arcade machine. Before they can lash out again, Miyamoto and Paratchet are stopped by Virtua, who kicks them out using a prize claw.

As soon as Miyamoto leaves the lake that he and Paratchet fall into, Miyamoto's behavior is turned upside down. The elf gets out of him, and he hides behind a bush, where he sobs. However, he allows Paratchet to comfort him, and he tells her what he has truly felt upon Isaac's disappearance. They reconcile, but the elf gets frustrated at the fact they cannot enter the arcade for one week.

Upon hearing about Cakepod's Curious Confectioneries' refurbishment, Miyamoto and Paratchet decide to visit it, noticing that it was tidier, cleaner, and bluer compared to last time. Mitzi opens the place for the day, and they ecstatically eat an order of whole strawberry cookies. Miyamoto's joy fades as he misses Isaac; when Paratchet overhears Mitzi, she tells him that they were not the only CRiTORA with a missing trusted one. Upon telling Mitzi about this, she takes them to the place's second floor.

Miyamoto, Paratchet, and Mitzi are startled by Trident's potent greeting before beginning their conversation. Miyamoto talks about Isaac, a name that Mitzi never heard of. After she tells them about Caroline, Eleanor intervenes, mentioning Kepler and Galileo, names that Miyamoto never heard about either. Once Eleanor mentions that Galileo theorized about a fifteenth District, everyone is shocked. The four, despite Eleanor's warning, agree to look for them.

## Development

The concept of Miyamoto comes from **Desmond Sumabu-ON**, a POWER Controller CRiTORA designed by LastyGhost and revealed in March 3rd, 2021, the Nintendo Switch's fourth birthday.

Desmond was one of her more actively developed CRiTORA, though his appearance in the series was debatable until the only episode of the first version of Abnormal, Origins, his first and only appearance in the series before being retired later in 2022. He also appeared in the first version's novelization's Prologue, though behaving differently from the series.

In 2023, with Abnormal's reboot, Miyamoto was created as a replacement to Desmond, though the rivalry with Isaac -formerly Darrell- and Paratchet -formerly Edna- remains. Albeit created by Lasty as the Prologue was written, Daydreaming Birdie designed them.

### Design

#### Desmond

Desmond's design drew its inspiration from the Nintendo Switch's JoyCons, including the capability of mimicking other available colors.

While Desmond's colors were not vivid when LastyGhost first colored him -respecting the JoyCons' Neon Red/Neon Blue colors, Daydreaming Birdie made those colors vivid when he drew him for the Pilot Season. This was corrected in his Season 1 design. In Late 2022, Birdie proposed a redesign for Desmond that featured more details, such as fingers and articulated limbs. While the former weren't executed, Desmond was redesigned and stood until Late December 2022, when LastyGhost's CRiTORA characters at the time were retired.

#### Miyamoto

Miyamoto is based on a question mark block from the *Super Mario Bros.* series. The tiny elf is inspired by Link from *The Legend of Zelda*. The way they talk is derived from Timmy & Tommy from *Animal Crossing,* and their weaponry draws inspiration from *Splatoon*.

While the Prologue was written, Daydreaming Birdie designed Miyamoto based on the description given by LastyGhost.

### Name

Desmond was named after the late streamer Etika. His last name came from *Sumabura*, the Japanese abbreviation of the Super Smash Bros. franchise.

Miyamoto is named after Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator/real-world father of Mario. His last name comes from *Block* and *Jump*.

## Trivia

* As Desmond, the only JoyCon color he could not have was gray.
