The game was originally developed by BottleRocket (who developed Afro Samurai) up until early 2009. Namco then cut the developer from the project and took back the console development kits they gave to the crew. BottleRocket went out of business after this. Development of the game was handed over to the internal development team at Namco Bandai Games, who hired some people who had previously worked for BottleRocket to complete the game.

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Yoshi is usually one of cast's heavier fighters. He even outweighs Samus and Ganondorf in the PAL versions of Super Smash Bros. Melee and is on par with Wario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Despite this, Yoshi is usually labelled as a lightweight or middleweight character in the Mario Kart and Mario Tennis spin-offs.

Attachment As a result of a sponsorship deal between the motor racing circuit Donington Park in Leicestershire, England and SEGA, the 1993 European Grand Prix was adorned with SEGA logos. Even the race itself was renamed the SEGA European Grand Prix.

Ayrton Senna won the rain-drenched event after passing four cars on the first lap and holding off his teammate Alain Prost through the race's length, and was presented a trophy which featured Sonic the Hedgehog. While the image of Senna holding this trophy was widely circulated around the Internet, it was unfortunately only a fake trophy used for a photo op. It's unknown what became of the Sonic trophy.

Platform: Nintendo GameCube

According to former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi, the GameCube's cheap price was the result of Nintendo's perception that gamers cared only about the games themselves, and that game consoles were just pieces of hardware that were required to play the games. As a result, Nintendo decided to make the GameCube's price significantly lower than the competition's in order to make the former's titles more accessible to consumers.
