This is the second in a series of six videos. The first five show us painting different segments of the cover, and the sixth and final video will be a long video featuring all of the segments together, with artist commentary. Each segment of the cover art represents a different Nintendo game or franchise which Mr. Iwata impacted in a critical way.

In this video, it's a two-for-one: Balloon Fight and Kirby! No other single game is so closely associated with Mr. Iwata as Balloon Fight, as it was one of his earliest works created for Nintendo's 8-bit hardware in the early '80s – its signature floating/arm-flapping control style was even re-used for the controls to move Mario while swimming in the original Super Mario Bros.! Years later, Mr. Iwata rose through the ranks to become the President of HAL Laboratory, and under his guidance the company was saved from the brink of financial ruin – largely thanks to the success of a new series he oversaw: Kirby! While Masahiro Sakurai is credited with creating the character of Kirby himself, his earliest games simply wouldn't have existed without President Iwata righting the ship at HAL and giving him and his Dream Land pals the chance to exist in the first place. So King Dedede and Meta Knight have hopped in on this celebration too!
