I like that they're actually interviewing people about the facts.

[HeidiSprite]

"He didn't know he was in the game *until we told him*"
Holy shit

[Rhino-n-Chips]

4:06 Nintendo already screwed over the poor guy out of royalties, and then 20 years later he finds out they did it twice.

[Snooplax]

Thank you guys so much for the shout out. The scaling function in Mario kart 64 is insane!

[nolongerusing]

*Talks about Luigi's multiple voices and Wario's german accent*
*no audio of it in the video*
_ok_

[LordHonkInc]

1996: "This is too much like real RC cars, this isn't fun"
2020: "Let's make it an augmented reality game with real RC cars, that'll be fun!"

[travispunnett]

Man, I feel bad for John. Missing out on his royalties, having his last name being spelled wrong, and not knowing about it for 20 whole years. It's pretty messed up, not gonna lie.

[addisonrahn]

“The track was too long to race through.”

This coming from the people who made N64 Rainbow Road.

[themojogamer]

Imagine being Mr. Hulaton at the time of being told that tidbit about him being in Super Circuit.

"Mr. Hulaton, you did a really solid job voicing in Mario Kart 64!
"Thank you!"
"You did great in Super Circuit too!"
"I did?"

[lazybacon]

Did You Know?
John Hulaton: "No...I didn't..."

[ArcRay]

"which is what you're hearing, right now." that'd be nice if every video didnt mute the background music to an almost unhearable state. you gotta take a minute to turn the audio back up!

[jimtin]

That trivia about Wario being originally German has amazed me, I remember playing Mario Party 2 loads and always thought it was weird him saying 'oh I missed' now I know why! Brilliant

[kholdkhaosray]

1:52 Hey who's that handsome devil?

F-Zero works without items because its fast and already bonkers. I can't imagine Rainbow Road 64 or Wario Stadium without items without it turning into a snoozefest within the first minute. Sounds like purgatory unless maybe you're a speedrunner

[funnyglitch]

After the first secret: “This isn’t the only secret surrounding Mario Kart 64”
Video’s entire subject is Mario Kart 64

[senorlechuga]

Considering how big that rainbow road was... imagine the city. It could've been like the rainbow road from MK7 though

[louweejee]

Martinet's take on Wario, especially early on, to me sounded like his attempt to emulate the VA in the US commercials for SML2, Wario Land, and Wario Blast (OBEY WAAAARRRIO, DESTROY MARIO)

[DZRWIND]

The “R” in Mario kart R stands for “Render”?
My whole life has been a lie. I always thought it stood for “Racing”.

[tysonmontgomery]

Who else just learned that Wario has been saying "So ein mist!" this whole time and not "Doh, I missed!"

[marioluigi]

Did you know gaming even teaching the people they interview to learn information lol

[thombeacock]

4:25 So an Italian in a Japanese game was first voiced by a Frenchman.
