I can only assume anyone who doesn’t like it hasn’t played it. It’s a platformer racing game, which is rare, but excellent.

Unirally in PAL / Uniracers in USA, 1994 on Super Nintendo: It’s a side scrolling racing game, up to two players. There are regular races and stunt points races. Unfortunately no interaction with the other player, its only about time. So its one of those two player modes that wasn’t super fun for us, but we loved playing fore highscores. Game is super fast, imagine Sonic as a racing game. What most people get it wrong is, they think they have to react to the changing course parts instantly. But in reality the course parts are color coded and you know in advance what is coming.
The game is from DMA Design, who also made Lemmings and later GTA; the company you know as Rockstar today. Also they got sued by Pixar. Yes that Pixar, making films. Because the pre-rendered unicycles were looking similar to the Pixar film. What an incredible dumb lawsuit, as this is how unicycles look like in general. But Pixar won and the game had to be taken from shelf quickly before it could sell much. Game didn’t even make it to Japan. It’s a rare game most people didn’t play on original hardware!

Holy shit, I remember my friend renting this game and we really enjoyed it. Cool to now know why we weren’t able to find it later.

Uniracers is awesome! Truly a unique game for how it plays. The track color code system is very well implemented, and once you get good at the game you feel like Cypher reading the Matrix code directly. Great music that still pops in my head.
The lawsuit is just tragic because it’ll never be rereleased/remastered, and would be awesome on NSO.

Didn’t know it was a rare game. I played this game so much as a kid and I still own it. Such a great game.
