  • Whenever I had friends over back in the early 2000s, Mario Kart: Double Dash was our game of choice (that and Donkey Konga). And though more than 12 years have passed since the game's release, we'll still play this classic racer together whenever we find the chance. It's fast racing gameplay is what keeps us coming back, but it turns out that "fast" was not a term the described this game at E3 2003. In fact, "disappointing" and "slow" were common terms to describe Double Dash during development. So, how did the development team fix these issues? Well, on this episode of Beta64, I'll tell you all about it.
    Enjoy!

    About the speedometer, it looks like the numbers were still in metric and hadn't yet been changed from the Japanese version... but the "km/h" graphic had already been replaced.
    200 miles = 320 kilometers, which means the cannon stayed the same throughout development.
    And that cruising speed of 75-80 km/h is roughly 45-50 mph, which lines up with the claims of the prototype being slower than the final.

      And also about the speedometer, the design changed from the early development photos to the E3 playable demo, and again, obviously for the final release.

    Ah.. Double Dash. While I consider 8 to be the best of the series, Double Dash holds a special place in my heart. My family was going through a rough spot, and all we had were each other. My brother and I LOVED the two-player kart option, and I would spend the race as the driver while my brother was the "gunner." We were very coordinated, and he would often use the "attack" option to save us from trouble! I recall numerous instances where he had saved our skins from a pit or incoming item using the attack!

      I agree too. I have to give the best title to 8 just because of more courses and fantastic online play, I mean, it came out like 10+ years later and had so much room for improvement. But Double Dash has to be second on my list.

      @Jordan3DS 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Omar Mohammed I attribute that to the fact that they know that any trailer is going to piss fans off royally... Double Dash was easy to fix because it just involved upping the speed factor, but Color Splash would involve a lot more renovation to make it a better game, which I don't think they'd have time for if they want a Summer release. I hate to say it, but Nintendo gains more from releasing Color Splash as a hated mess of a game than changing tables and making it at least decent. With two horrible Paper Mario games in a row, hype for a "true" Paper Mario game will be through the roof when Paper Mario NX is announced, more so than if they went Sticker Star (terrible) to Color Splash (decent). Color Splash being awful actually helps the series in a weird sort of way, as even if it were like Thousand Year Door, nobody would buy it since it's on Wii U. A good NX sequel will do MUCH better than a good Wii U sequel.

    • @omo7002

    I'm not going to lie, Beta64. Double Dash did have a lot of great memories for me and as a result, it is my second favorite Mario Kart in the series, right behind 64. I can credit 8 for its amazing DLC, but to me, the game doesn't need it, but it helped a lot for my enjoyment to build up.
    And...wow, Nintendo actually listening to the feedback for Double Dash? Man, I love Iwata as a family member in my book, but...I'm hoping the new president will turn things around and make the company a legend again.

Also the unique cars was awesome. This game has so much replay value from my childhood and beyond here's to double dash!

Stop criticizing about the little mistakes that this company makes. They are working at their best to produce high quality games.

    Another phenomena that was likely at work making players feel like the demo was slower could in fact be the placement and lower field of view of the camera. The wider your FOV is in any game, the higher your perceived movement speed will be. It's more likely that in the demo, the karts really were faster, but the camera settings made it look a lot slower, and once they gave the players a better view, the higher top speeds probably felt much too fast.

    @ElectroBlastLuigi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    Mario Kart Double Dash really is the best Mario Kart game ever developed. It's sad that none of the features ever returned in future Mario Kart games. Rumors spread that MK8 was going to have two people in one kart in a brand new mode while having a drill to dig through tunnels and underground instead of having anti-gravity. Mario Kart DX was close to having "double dash" but not what everyone expected. What we missed the most besides "double dash mode" is All Cup Tour. If Nintendo brings any of those features back for the Nintendo NX, that would be great but depending on how the game is made, 9 times out of ten, the original "Double Dash" game will be better.

    Coming from the Live stream today, looks like you talk about the E3 version of the Luigi Circuit logo at 5:33 but I can't find the other two early logos. But that makes sense since that track was in the first cup. Now, like I (belkinsa) said if I do another look at those logs would there be other changes then those two we have seen?
