Mario: Well we pushed the graphics on the Wii pretty hard. We did effects like colour blurring and speed lines. We did lots of iterations, tested, then worked on how we could deliver more and more speed. The slow motion crashes also helped to give the player a sense of the enormous speed of their cars.
