'Often the path to victory in Mario Kart doesn't offer any shortcuts. That's just how it goes.'

I've never actually played a Zelda game. I've played other N64 games, like Goldeneye, Mario Kart, they were my favourites.

When we were designing 'Mario Kart 64,' we wanted it to feel like the player is controlling an RC car. If you play this game and get this feeling, then we will be happy because we accomplished our goal.

This is the eighth game in the series and when we work on a Mario Kart title, we work on courses and we create them and then we work on them again, and again, and again, and we revise until we come up with something that we think is going to be fun for everyone to play over and over again. So we have a lot of confidence in our ability to do so, but we understand what a tough challenge it is to create those courses.

Game balance is a really important element of Mario Kart that we look very, very closely at and place a lot of value on.

I don't know video games.The last video game I played, apart from Dance Dance Revolution at Jeremy's house, which I was very good at - Scarlett [Johansson] and I will always have "Billie Jean" - was Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo. I'm from the Dark Ages.
