Camelot Software Planning is a Japanese video game studio founded by Shugo Takahashi in 1994, to serve as a sister studio to his brother Hiroyuki's own gaming studio, Sonic! Software Planning, which was a first-party developer for Sega. After years of co-developing various titles within the Shining Series games for Sega, following the completion of Shining Force III, Camelot would buy out and merge with Sonic in 1998. Since then, Camelot Software Planning has worked almost exclusively with Nintendo, being best known for various Super Mario Bros. sports games — including the creation of the character Waluigi — as well as the Golden Sun RPG series.
