It’s hard to imagine, but Mario Cart: Double Dash two players driving mechanic Almost Not happened!
As I believe you know, in Mario Cart: Double dash, instead of choosing just one character to join a cart of your choice, the players choose two roles instead of riding in a cart, one behind one and one in front.
However, Nintendo was anxious about introducing this mechanic into the Mario Cart series, so today we all know that the double -up driver version also worked on the “single driver version”.
This is in accordance with an 2003 interview with Mario Cart: Double Dash developers, who were first included in the Nintendo Dream Magazine but have been freshly translated. Shmuplations. Within this interview, producer Shia Takahashi explained that “since Mario Cart has always been more in party games”, the team’s “Point of Departure for Development” was wondering which new multi -player game play mechanics we could include, and especially if we had two newcomers.
However, the double dash team wanted to ensure that it was innovating the series, “while Mario makes the cart unique”. The producer added that it was a “memorable challenge” for those working in the game. Fellow producer Tadashi Sugima added that Mario Cart has already been turned into a “flagship title for Nintendo”, and “every console will have to be its marijuana cart”.
“Well, of course it is a big seller, it’s Mario Cart! – This pressure is huge,” Sugima said, such a game comes with “all these expectations” and the team had to “add something new” in the formula.
“So, the concept of ‘two drivers’, therefore, came to the end of a very long process of mind. Although we were a bit upset about it, so we were already producing the same driver version, the two drivers in parallel to the development,” said Achigarh, and Duxyan, who was a joke.
“But in the end, I think of the majority of my staff who really wanted to do something new, we have strengthened development in the concept of just two drivers.”
This does not mean that it was still not difficult to implement it, and according to Chief Director Kiyushi Mizuki, the best part of a year was spent working with the two driver mechanic. “We have tried all kinds of things,” said Mesuki.
An idea was swimming for a while that seedkars were added, which immediately. It was a picture of Walis and Gromite/Two Fat Ladies Racer, which is probably showing me my life. Anyway, in the interview again!
“Usually when someone thinks of two people in the car, you think together with the seat of the driver and the passengers. But for the Mario cart, it will make the carts very widespread. Can you imagine that the eight big cart stands like this?”
Takahashi added the developers “too much in positioning”, and eventually settled on “riding behind them” but this caused another problem – both drivers are not able to see. Slight? “You have to change drivers at any time,” Sugima closed, and the rest, as they say, have a history.
Mario Cart Rain is strong, and the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2 will also be included in the latest series registration: Mario Cart World. Unlike the Old Mario Cart Games, there will be basically the ability to drive anywhere in the world and 24 drivers can compete in a race.
Our Tom has already taken the upcoming game to revolve, which has undoubtedly “switch to the killer app” and did not wait for a maximum.
“The restoration of the Mario Cart World series can be a gambling, but this is exactly what I think will pay for it. With potential routes and hours of time, which is spent in search of every corner of its highways, deserts and mountains.
