Nintendo's US boss Reggie Fils-Aime has admitted that he drives like Yoshi in real life. No, that doesn't mean he snakes along Seattle's highways and chucks Yoshi eggs (as seen in Double Dash!!) at other cars on the road. Just that he drives a bit fast. Don't tell Seattle police!
"I played the little game on the Mario Kart fan page and it said that I drive most like Bowser," said Reggie. "I think when I answered the question, I said that I like to nudge people off the road."
Who does he think he is? Lewis Hamilton?
Then Reggie revealed who he really drives like. "Personally, I think I drive like Yoshi. Yoshi typically has the fastest kart in the game and I do have a lead foot. Don't tell Seattle Police but I have a lead foot."
Don't worry Reggie, we won't. We also won't tell them that you'd like to use a Bullet Bill in real life to clear traffic either.
Mario Kart 7 is released this Friday. Read our Mario Kart 7 review to find out why you should buy it...

I'm. Calling 911
When I get a driving license when I'm older,I'm going to drive a car while throwing items at other drivers,just like in Mario Kart.And if I get stopped by police,I'll just say "What?I'm just playing real life Mario Kart!" then use mushrooms to get away quickly.
I bet he plucks vegetables like Olimar in real life too!
If you ever see me throwing banana skins at other drivers, don't report me or it'll be a green shell next time!
If i could drive like yoshi youll see me on tokio drift wih a golden mushroom, a trophie and a load of cash
LOL

Wow, what an extremely relevant and interesting observation. This totally has everything to do with this thread.
....anyway, I found this story quite funny, actually. If a little worrying.
Hmmm....
i didn't know reggie used to work at pizza hut
but that just makes him doubly AWESOME!!
Reggie is always great, I have always liked him since his first speech at E3 2004. I found it funny when he said that he had played something and it said that he is most like Bowser. Personally i think i drive most like Mario pretty average i don't go to fast and break the speed limit but don't go to slow either.
I agree with Reggie that a Bullet Bill would be great if you were stuck in trafic and just wanted to zoom through it and get to the front although the Golden Mushroom would be good fun as well!
I LOL'D
Not only does he drive like Yoshi, according to some sources he has a massive tongue.
No he buys them from Wallmart.
