Any good SNES racers?

[Punisher5.0]

I've been playing the the hell out of Superburnout for Jaguar and Road Rash 3 and it made me think about the SNES. Any good road bike games for it? I'd be open to other different kind of racers as well. Right now I have Dirt Trax and Stunt Trax. I still need to get Mario Kart.

F-zero is quite good

Yes I have f-zero also. Good game.

If you like overhead racers, Super Drift Out (inexpensive import) is *really* worth checking out. It's one of those crazy games that turns the scenery instead of your car. First couple races are vomit-inducing, but after that it's just great. Includes licensed cars and a track editor.

Rock'n'Roll Racing, Top Gear 2 and Street Racer are good.

 

EDIT:

 

Just remembered a few more:

 

Kawasaki Superbike Challenge was quite good as well as Power Drive (you may already know the Jaguar sequel Power Drive Rally).

 

Also check out videos on YouTube like this one e.g. :

I liked Uniracers (2D), Stunt Race FX (3D), and Dirt Trax FX (3D).

 

Warning: The frame rates are so slow in the 3D ones that you'll be tempted to think they suck, relative to newer games (for quite a number of years, too).

However, they were fun in the day. I had a lot of fun with Dirt Trax FX, but that was before PS1-and-up, of course.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I forgot to mention that I already have F-Zero. Rock'n'roll racing, Top Gear series, and Street Racer look like what I'm after.

I personally like the first Top Gear far more than the sequel.

 

Uniracers is another one. It's not racing in the traditional sense though... Regardless, it's downright awesome.

Wow. A friend of mine swears by Rock and Roll racing and I've always just discounted him. I guess I need to listen from now on...

Was Road Rash on the SNES? Or just the Mega Drive? That was a lot of fun...

Unfortunately the Road Rash sereis was not on the SNES. I wonder what it would have been like with better sound and graphics. Road Rash 3D was alright but nearly as cool as the original three.

I do too, its my favorite SNES racer by far.

 

A close second is F-Zero, third being Rock n Roll Racing.

Hi guys,

 

F-Zero, Uniracers, Super Mario Kart, are a few!

 

Anthony....

another vote here for rock and roll racing! i love that game. f-zero and mario kart also very good.

[atarilovesyou]

I liked Nigel Mansell's Racing way back when, but it was DIFFICULT...crazy hard, like a SNES version of Gran Turismo, I figure. But it was good.

If you liked the first 3, check out Road Rash on the Sega CD.

Uniracers!!! Totally unique racer/side scroller.

[Ryanw]

I might be the only person that liked this game but... Al Unser Jr's Road to the Top.

[RJ]

Gotta second Nigel Mansell's Racing here.

Asides from many of the ones mentioned, I think I remember enjoying Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing. I could have just been really bored as a kid, but I'm pretty sure I liked it. IIRC, it was arcade-style and had turbos or nitros like in other games from the time. It might even have a track editor too.
