In a recent interview, Kosuke Yabuki, producer of Mario Kart, shared insights into the game's development for Switch 2, specifically regarding iconic items like the green shell and banana. Despite their longstanding presence in the franchise, the team conducted a comprehensive review of all gameplay elements to determine if these items should be retained or altered. Yabuki expressed the importance of reassessing the relevance of these items, ensuring they fit within the new gameplay dynamics of Mario Kart World, which launches on June 5 alongside the Switch 2.
Producer Kosuke Yabuki revealed that the development team considered removing iconic items like the green shell and banana in Mario Kart World. However, they ultimately decided to keep them after reassessing their relevance.
Yabuki emphasized the importance of reviewing every item for Mario Kart World, asking teams if elements like the green shell still make sense in the new gameplay context.
The green shell has been part of Mario Kart for a long time. Yabuki pointed out that the team needed to assess whether classic items should remain unchanged or be modified.
Mario Kart World will include classic items like the mushroom and lightning bolt alongside new additions like the hammer and mega mushroom, creating a blend of nostalgia and innovation.
