SNES - Top Gear Box Art FrontSNES - Top Gear Box Art Back

In the first of three released games for Super NES, players can choose among 4 different cars, each one with different attributes (maximum speed, fuel consumption, boost power and tire grip) to face 32 challenging courses situated in several places around the world as Brazil, USA, France, Japan etc. In more longer tracks, players will find a Pit Stop section, where they can enter to replenish the fuel meter (total or partially). The game has a split-screen display for 1 or 2 players. In 1-Player mode, you'll dispute the races against the computer, that has a slightly bigger speed than yours, helping to give a lot more of competitiveness. A password system was included, being possible to stop a current game and resume it later. Through the game, players will find several obstacles scattered by the courses, like rows of iron plates or even lots of stones. In order to qualify for the next circuit, it's required to complete it at least in the 5th position, or else the game is over.

Additional Information

Despite substandard graphics and uninspired track design, Top Gear is an enjoyably challenging off-road (on again) racer that fans of Sega's Out Run will appreciate. Players select one of four Nitro-enhanced cars -- each rated according to maximum speed, acceleration speed, tire grip, and fuel consumption. In addition to racing for speed, players must concern themselves with avoiding road obstacles and pulling over to refuel at pit stops. The object is to drive on 32 tracks in eight different countries. Whether played alone or with a friend, the game offers a split-screen (top and bottom) viewpoint, making for smaller individual displays. The greatness of the game lies in its F-Zero-like speed and incredibly high frame rate. This is one of the fastest, smoothest 16-bit racers on the market. Realistic sound effects and high-octane music add to the fun.
