Stunt Race FX (Super Nintendo, 1994)

Most people think of the Mario Kart series when racing games are discussed for any Nintendo system. For whatever reason,Stunt Race FX does not get the attention that it deserves. The game features the FX chip (the two extra pieces of cartridge sticking out on the bottom of the game. There were a few games that featured this chip-Star Fox was one of them. The chip's function was to enhance graphics and detail. We all remember what Star Fox looked like, right? The game's designs were fantastic-almost modern art-ish with the various shapes and colors. The same goes for Stunt Race FX. The only problem is that those who see this game, or any Super Nintendo game for that matter today, are not impressed with what they see because it is being compared to the PS3, XBOX 360, and Wii. So rather than being impressed by what they see, the viewers of Stunt Race FX of today see only a choppy, grainy race game with no substance. All I can say is to give it time. The game can be purchased very cheaply so there is not really a risk- I got mine for .99 + s/h. The controlls are very easy to learn and the split-screen, head to head 2 player mode is always a hit.

Stunt Race FX was the second game for the Super Nintendo to make use of the Super FX chip. The game was a first to feature fully polygonal environments and vehicles. The game offers 4 vehicles to choose from, F1 racer, 4wd monster truck, sport coupe and a motorcycle. They all have there performances and offer a good amount of variety to the game. Stunt Race is a decent game, with plenty of speed and a great level of control. You can even play against a friend in the battle trax mode, this allows for a very tiny viewing screen though and is not as enjoyable as the speed or stunt trax modes. Overall this game is definitely worth picking up if you are a snes racing fan.

Good racing game for SNES

You have 4 cars / motorcycle (bonus 5) to choose from
and are competing against other 3?4? cars

Good course

Great music (really adds to the whole game)

Laggy graphics maybe 10-14 Fps

but this is because its one
of the first games to be produced with 3d polygon interactive
environment. You can see the 1st generation of UV mapping.

Has Time limit, and is quite hard at certain levels with
certain types of cars.

But its a great game even to this age. simple but fun!

I bought this awesome title a while back on eBay. I love it! When I was younger (about 12 years old, 10 years ago) I played this game all the time. Over time however I lost the game. Now that I'm an adult and have my own income, I wanted to bring back some of my great childhood experiences. This was one of them! I would come home from school and play Stunt Race FX with my brother all the time. My favorite vehicle was the pick-up truck. Some might ponder why I would by an older game with less-than-favorable graphics compared to todays standards. But to me, graphics aren't everything, gameplay and fun ratio is!

The bottomline, if you were a kid growing up in the SNES age, I would highly recommend this game. It's fun and you'll definetly get your money's worth!

i really love this game, it has a super FX chip inside it enables the 3d acceleration on the snes, so it´s one of the few racing games on that console whit full 3d graphics, on the other side due to the great graphics, the game runs only at an average 15fps making this game to lacks some speed of other games like top gear, concluding it´s really fun, challenging and one of the best looking racing games on the old snes
