Crazy Taxi producer Kenji Kanno noted that the time extension on gameplay was a breakaway of the current "100 yen for three minutes" that persisted at the time for arcade games, and it rewarded players with longer playing times by performing well in the game. [14] In addition to providing a game that could be played in short sessions, Kanno wanted a game to explore the "daily life and routine" of a taxi driver. [26] In the development of the Dreamcast version of the original arcade game, the developers included a larger map in addition to the arcade one, as to create a feeling of "being lost" and allowing home console players to have fun "learning the town". [14] Mini-games were developed for this version as to "let the player play longer if he improved skill" by offering challenges that were both fun and educational. Over one hundred different ideas for mini-games were developed by the team, but then pared down for the Crazy Box mini-game challenges for the game. [14] a b c d Gerstmann, Jeff (May 29, 2001).

Sega applied for and was awarded U.S. Patent 6,200,138 – "Game display method, moving direction indicating method, game apparatus and drive simulating apparatus" – in 2001. [24] The mechanics in the "138 patent" describe an arcade cabinet similar to Sega's previous arcade game Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders (1997) [25] but also describe the arrow navigation system and pedestrian avoidance aspects that were used in Crazy Taxi. The F355 Challenge is the only chance I think I’ll ever get of actually driving an F355 Ferrari. I don’t mind that I even have to split the screen when playing with a friend, at least I’m in the drivers seat and don’t actually have any responsibility for whether I crash it or not. a b Fragmaster.
