According to statements made by the Marketing Director of Insomniac Games, Ryan Schneider, Miyamoto drew inspiration for Super Mario Galaxy from their Rachet & Clank series.

"There’s evidence all around us I think, of certain games that have borrowed from Ratchet and Clank," he told Kikizo in a recent interview. "One that we’re even extremely flattered by is Super Mario Galaxy, with their spherical worlds; we did spherical worlds in Going Commando, and Up Your Arsenal."

"It would be amazing to think that Miyamoto-san thought that was so cool that he wanted to incorporate it into Mario Galaxy. Granted, he’s doing it in a different way, but it’s still a spherical world, so it’s flattering to see those sorts of things."
