These are the two setences of the "Iwata Asks" that made the game worse:
---------------------------------------
Iwata: Why did you decide to add motorbikes?
Konno: To be honest, there may have been some influence from my own hobbies. I love BMX bicycles and snowboarding. When we made the game for the DS, we wanted to put in some elements of extreme sports12 so the players could do some rough riding, but it was difficult to achieve in a handheld game. That’s why we decided to make it happen for the Wii.
---------------------------------------
Konno: That’s why we decided to tackle something new like time trial rankings in addition to matches. But Iwata-san wondered what the point to being told you’re ranked 80, 000th would be, and we felt the same way.
Iwata: I remember that was brought up in one of the meetings during the Wi-Fi Connection’s development process. Something we needed to tackle with Wi-Fi matches and rankings, was how only a few strong players would be happy, among thousands of others who couldn’t become champions. You wanted to avoid that. This was discussed since the time we started development of the Wi-Fi Connection. So for Mario Kart Wii we tried something new.
Konno: So we put the rankings on a distribution map. The Miis would stack up depending on their times, and you could now see where you place in a glance.
Iwata: Instead of being told you’re ranked 83,431, it’s much more rewarding to be shown how many people around the world are playing at your level.
Konno: Also, you can easily see how you compare in global and national levels, and even with your Wii Friends. And a family of four can have fun as well. You can switch over to view the standings for those four members. For example, I can tell at one look the difference between me and my son’s times.
