...Nintendo decided to develop a kart racer with slower tracks. 🏎️
They did not decide to incorporate Mario characters until a few months into development. The choice was made after the development team when observing how one kart looked to another driving past it, decided to see what it would look like with Mario in the kart. 🏁
Thinking that having Mario in the kart looked better than previous designs, the idea of a Mario themed racing game was born. 🏆
