During growth Mario Cart WorldThe team that makes it faces an important question and perhaps existential: Does Mario, in fact, eat mushrooms? Meaning, is it necessary to be the superficial mushroom in the Mario world EatenOr is it simply touched to Imbue Mario (and Luigi) with the great powers?
The answer to this question may seem clear to you, but even 20 years of veteran from Nintendo Shennaro Jikumaru asked whether he truly understood the mechanism of connecting the mushrooms of the kingdom of mushrooms. Jikumaru and Mario Cart World Producer Kosuki Yabuki calmed the duty in this regard, as he moved to Takashi, the executive of Nintendo to answer. Tezuka served the position of assistant director originally Super Mario BruceAnd have produced dozens of Mario games or supervised them since then, so if anyone knows him, then this is.
the Mario Cart World Devs raised the question primarily because Jikumaru was an inspiration for adding food-specifically-to the new world Mario Kart. This requires gaming designers to implement dining animation.
“We have thought, why do we not have a driver where you eat characters while driving, and make eating change clothes or turn into a different personality?” The clearest Yabuki. “Nevertheless, it is completely ridiculous.”
Add hamburger (and other regional foods that cause cabinet changes) to Mario Cart World Yabuki and Jikumaru forced a real face about the bases of Mario super world. In a new interview to meet the developer in Nintendo, they explain:

Jikumaru: So in the midst of development, we went up to Tizuka San and asked him to confirm, “Is Mario really eating that mushroom?”
Yabuki: This is correct. “Yes, it is.”
Mario fans will have long refer to games like the Mario & Luigi series, where the brothers are clearly displayed on the dumping of the eating strength in their mouths, or Super Mario Bros.Which makes it clear that Mario eats mushrooms to open its effects, however Touches Elements like Fire Flowers and Super Stars to gain their powers. However, you can estimate it Mario Cart WorldCreators want to be comprehensive, and that there is a degree of inconsistency in dozens of energy in Mario Games. in Mario Cart 8 DeluxeFor example, when Mario uses a superficial mushroom in a race, it does not appear to eat; Instead, it implicitly means that mushrooms are given to the same cart, like a type of NOS injection.
But questions about any Super Mario Power-Ups Mario eating for what he touches may only be for discussion. There are many other people who are not known. It is considered:
Perhaps you can say that if you receive an interview with Takashi Tezuka (very unlikely after this story), I will have dozens of questions for him that he will be increasingly upset.
