Speed Racer in The Challenge of Racer X
This Speed Racer-licensed racing game is based on the American remake of 1960s
classic Japanese anime TV series. All the main characters are presented in the
game: Speed Racer, his big brother Racer X, his father Pops, his mother, his
girlfriend Trixie, and his little brother Spritle along with the pet
chimpanzee Chim-Chim.
In the game you are Speed Racer who challenges Racer X on the 7 campaign
tracks full of obstacles, road gaps, and other racers who want to take your
car (Mach 5) off the road. Mach 5 has many features under the hood, which can
be activated with the buttons from ‘A’ to ‘G’ (for instance, to make a big
jump you press ‘A’, or to survive under water you press ‘D’). After winning
the race you’ll progress in the game to another episode, collecting money as
bonus.
Two players can simultaneously take on each other on the same computer or
online via modem. There are different episodes in Modem Play.
