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.
