Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race

30.10.1987
Genre: Racing
Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race is a Japan-exclusive racing game starring Mario in Formula One cars. In the game, players can choose to play alone or with other cars. Cars have a certain amount of health and fuel, which decreases whenever the player crashes into a wall or another car, as well as whenever he or she drives off of the road. This game, along with its sequel, was possibly an ancestor to the Mario Kart series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to Super Mario Kart.

Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally is the sequel to Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race, although the two games are very different. In a departure from its predecessor, Famicom Grand Prix II features a behind-the-car view. Rather than consisting of a handful of short tracks, 3D Hot Rally provides three long tracks consisting of a variety of different terrain types giving the feel of an actual rally race. As the name implies, the game allows you to use the Famicom 3D System glasses to give the race a real feeling of depth.
