But why elephants?

They probably just had the concept of the trunk initially. Baseball bat, boxing gloves? Not whimsical enough for Mario. How can you bat enemies away? I think that gave them the idea for the trunk and then they said, well then it should hold water, what can we do with that? Elephant is pretty overpowered compared to other power ups.

I haven't had this much fun with a 2D Mario game since Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros 3. Loved checking out every level to see what they'd come up with!
