There has been some confusion as to how much Retro Studios has contributed to Mario Kart 7. Initial reports stated that the company was simply making one track while other sites claimed that they were essentially involved with all areas of the creation process.

Thanks to producer Hideki Konno, the situation has been cleared up. According to Konno, the studio participated in both course and character design. He told Nintendo Power that “The course designers and artists at both EAD and Retro Studios worked closely together to create what I consider to be very prolific and high-quality work.”

“Knowing that Retro Studios had a strong track record and a long history of creating quality products with Nintendo, I asked them to collaborate with us on aspects like course and character design. The course designers and artists at both EAD and Retro Studios worked closely together to create what I consider to be very prolific and high-quality work.”
