Stunt Race FX (SNES) Playthrough

Описание: A playthrough of Nintendo's 1994 racing game for the Super Nintendo, Stunt Race FX.

Following up on their 1993 smash hit Star Fox (   • Star Fox (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComp...  ), Nintendo once again partnered with Argonaut Software to create their second SuperFX-fueled 3D SNES game, Stunt Race FX, which released in the summer of 1994.

Here are the time stamps for everything shown in the video:

1:05 Test Run
The training course which becomes locked once you've finished a class in Speed Trax.

2:34 Speed Trax
The main mode featuring three classes, each made up of four unique tracks and a bonus round.

2:52 Novice class w/4WD
17:08 Expert class w/Coupe
32:08 Master class w/F-Type
53:10 Ending credits

55:40 Stunt Trax
A set of stunt-based tracks. If forty stars are collected on each of the main courses, a bonus RC-style set of battle games are unlocked.

56:04 Rock Field w/4WD
57:58 Up'N Down w/Coupe
1:00:24 Ice Dance w/Coupe
1:03:27 Blue Lake w/F-Type

1:05:52 Radio Control 1-4

1:12:25 Battle Trax
The 2P split-screen, head-to-head racing mode featuring four tracks based on the ones used in Speed Trax. All played as the 2WD which is unlocked after completing Speed Trax's Master class.

1:12:54 Cotton Farm
1:15:12 Toxic Desert
1:17:12 Marine Pipe
1:19:19 Port Arena

1:21:41 Free Trax
The time trial mode. Tracks are unlocked as they're completed in Speed Trax mode. I did a single run of the Sky Ramp track with the 2WD.

1994 was a banner year for video games, and every month brought with it a number of top-notch releases that would go on to be considered some of the best games of all time. The 16-bit generation was about to give way to the incoming 32-bit wave, but it wasn't going to go quietly.

Stunt Race FX was one of the many highlights that year. Its critical reception was nearly as warm as Star Fox's, and considering it ended up selling over a million copies, players clearly felt the same way.

The game was packed with content, the 3D graphics were as impressive as they were novel, the track and car designs were drenched in Nintendo's trademark charm, and most importantly, it was flat-out fun to play.

And how awesome were those Star Fox cameos, especially when you could crash your car straight into the side of a low-flying Arwing?

I loved it. My sister and I sank a ridiculous amount of time into it, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

However much gamers nowadays criticize it for its speed and framerate, it was an impressive spectacle in 1994, and it was an exciting look forward at the sorts of experiences we could expect from the upcoming generation of console hardware.

If only Nintendo would revisit this idea! How about it guys? It's been nearly thirty years, and I could certainly go for another racer filled with googly-eyed cars.

If you'd like to see what the game looks like running on an overclocked SuperFX chip to improve the framerate, check this out:    • Stunt Race FX (SNES w/overclocked Super FX...
