Shmupulations recently released a translated 2003 Nintendo Dream interview with the lead developers of Mario Kart: Double Dash. Producers Tadashi Sugiyama and Shinya Takahashi, as well as chief director, Kiyoshi Mizuki, all discuss the development of Double Dash as well as their concern over the two-driver mechanic.

Sugiyama suggested that the staff wasn’t very confident in the feature, as to not harm what made Mario Kart unique. The team was even simultaneously developing a single-driver version in the early stages, in case two drivers didn’t go over well. After they gained confidence, they discuss that most of the games’ development time was placed into tinkering with the two-driver mechanic.
