Shigeru Miyamoto knows about Star Fox's infamous amputation theory according to ex-Nintendo PR lead, and his reaction was somewhere between "wait, what" and "are you nuts"
Former Nintendo PR lead Kit Wilson recounts telling Star Fox creator Shigeru Miyamoto about a fan theory that the pilots had their legs amputated. Miyamoto's reaction was one of disbelief, and he later clarified that the character designs focused on making them appear human, not on the biological implications of G-force on pilots without legs. He also humorously noted his greater concern for Fox's tail.
