I just found this video, the idea of Yoshiki playing this is too awesome not to post.
2:41:30 in the video is when he makes his way over to the controllers, it seems they're in a mini tournament setup, there were people who played it before Yoshiki and the others there went up.
2:45:40 is when the race starts, because of the way they've set this up you can't really tell which screen Yoshiki is, but based on his reaction to the only car that stalled at the start (bottom left) it's most likely he picked Link, lmao of course he did. Btw he does a second race immediatly afterwards.
Edit: yeah he's definitely Link.
Agh the video's been removed, well without that we don't really have a thread. xd
