Some astute Internet user even built a decoder online so you can see how it works. By pressing L, R, L, R, X, Y, X, Y, and Z at the post-trial menu, you can see the code you couldve submitted to Nintendo if you lived in Japan during the mid-90s. The cool thing is that this random code generator still exists in the game, even after it was localized and released over here in the States.
Submissions were made via entering a code on the post-Time Trial menu screen, then taking the code that appeared and forwarding it to Nintendo, who would decode it to see your time. There's a hidden Japanese contest code in Double Dashīack when Double Dash first released, Nintendo of Japan held a contest where players could submit their best time trial times for a chance at big prizes. Thats some severe insult to injury, both in watching the winners drive by AND getting blown to smithereens afterward, but hopefully you get a little chuckle out of it too. As they receive their awards, you drive away defeated, only to be pursued by a Bob-omb who sends you sky high before the final results screen appears. Nintendo must have accounted for this when developing Mario Kart 64, because the developer hid an ending among the celebrations that most try to never see.īy coming in fourth, youre treated to a special ending where you watch the other more successful racers take their spot on the podium.
Youre so focused on the prize that youre not even thinking about what would happen if we came in second or third or (Heaven forbid) fourth. The 4th place ending in Mario Kart 64 adds insult to injuryĮvery time you fire up Mario Kart, the goal is simple: take the top spot on the podium at the end of the Grand Prix.
