As the proud owner of a VW bug myself, this is essentially the perfect game for me. It fulfills my ultimate fantasy; what if my car could fly 200 feet into the air and had an explosive rocket launcher? Really though this game is super fun. You can pick from a few magnificent colours for your bug and play by yourself or against friends in a few different styles of races, or take them on in this game's best mode; beetle battle. Imagine the mariokart battle modes but on crack and you have a beetle battle. All of the items (yes, this game has mariokart style items.) are super fun and perfect for causing large amounts of chaos. Your car can shoot rockets, achieve super speed, and plant land mines among a few other things. Also this game has some surprisingly decent music, which adds a lot to its charm. I’m not kidding when I say Beetle Adventure Racing is one of the most fun promotional/licensed games ever made.
Fun arcade racing game. Good controls and a good addition to the N64 library.
Played this back in the day because a friend of mine bought it. Even back then, I scratched my head at the concept of a car manufacturer model-specific racing game.
The highlight of this game was the track design. Tracks were long and littered with secret routes/shortcuts that sometimes, in turn, had other alternate routes or shortcuts within them.
All in all, this game had no business being as good as it was. Definitely a rare but fun game released in the late life cycle of the Nintendo 64.

The first game I ever picked out at the store. I was 3 years old and I've always had genius level intuition about these things
The drift is a little lacking but the track design is phenomenal.
