Wasn't feeling it at first but this game it's kinda really good. Graphics, gameplay, music all hitting great. Only thing i can really complain about is how small the field of view is. Pull it back just a little and then we're cooking.
peak 90s energy, still really fun if you can play it locally, not online, the graphics wouldn't work over a stream
One of the best kept secrets of the Super Nintendo!
Unicycles. 2D racing. Ugly menus. It’s not something that screams hidden gem right away. But the more you play, the more the influences it had on future games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or SSX Tricky start to seep in. It may not be polished. It may not be pretty. But its solid gameplay and skill ceiling will surprise you.

i think this is my first video game ever
A fun CG styled racing game featuring unicycles in a vriety of unique tracks that got put aside to obscuring thanks to a certain company not being cooperative with their lawsuit (yes, it's the desk lamp one).
Never quite understood the hype. I get bored playing this game pretty fast, even in two player mode. It's fast, I will give it that, and the unicycles are beautifully animated. But besides that...
Quem diria que um jogo de corrida de MONOCICLOS poderia ser divertido.
Acho que o maior ponto positivo desse jogo é que seus controles são simples, mas funcionam muito bem. Também existem diversas modalidades de jogo, mas todas elas tem algo em comum: as manobras.
Os gráficos do jogo são bastante coloridos e as pistas de corrida do game lembram muito uma espécie de "pista da hot wheels" futurista. Fora que a sensação de velocidade que o jogo tinha era muito real (As animações dos monociclos eram muito bem feitas).
Uniracers é um jogo aleatório e inusitado, mas divertido e original ao mesmo tempo e apesar de não ter CARROS DE CORRIDA no jogo, o game não perde o seu brilho.

Fun and a great distraction for short periods of time.
fuck this game i got a draw in it against "bronson"
Played a lot of this back in the day! Very unique racer, has a similar feeling of speed as Sonic the Hedgehog at its best, and it has a Tony Hawk-ish trick system that gives you speed boosts when you successfully land spins and flips. The soundtrack fits the game perfectly. Worth checking out!
Just fun from top to bottom.
Uniracers (1994): Sorprendentemente divertido. No daba un duro por un juego de monociclos animados sobre raíles, y sin pasarse de complejidad consigue ofrecer un juego muy agradable en el que es muy fácil entrar pero al que cuesta dominar. Un curioso debut del estudio que luego crearía GTA (7,00)
Ha, always straining for a slightly wider field of view in most of these games, but this one especially.
Pros: Great sense of speed with cool CGI visuals on fun tracks to do tricks on... Well, to a degree. The game is a 2D side-scrolling racer, where you play as an expressively animated unicycle, vs. another expressively animated unicycle (2-player split screen is a real fun time, btw!). It has a bit of an Excitebike style to it, where you do jumps and can move around midair, but you have to make the landing or else you fumble your speed, in fact, doing tricks in the air will make you get a speedburst if you make the landing. And that's the fun part, there's several button combinations to perform tricks, and it's a good time when you're getting it right.
Cons: But most of the time you're getting it wrong. Back when I played this game, I didn't realize the track colors indicated what type of turns and loops would be coming ahead (something only the manual tells you, apparently), and as a result, I failed a lot, and couldn't get very far in the game.
What it means to me: This was a common rent, I just really liked the style of this game as a kid, and it was a really great time multiplayer too. The CGI unicycles were cute and fun, and I loved anything CGI back in the early 90s, it was a novelty then, rarely saw it, so it hyped me up. But also just the visuals in general, the colors, the abstract patterns, it's a great, well, vibe. Good vibes here. Fun jammin' tracks, everything wigglin and wobblin, it's groovy! Not a very deep game that I fell in love with or anything, but certainly not a bad time.

It's alright, Doesn't keep much attention for long periods though
A neat idea of a game with fast and fun gameplay. Could use more content but the simple yet fun gameplay makes this one come reccomended.
Fuck you Pixar
Such a good game, its a shame it will never get ported or remade officially :(
Rented it with my brother as a kid once. Our lives were never quite the same.
An absolute hidden gem of a title for the SNES. A really fun racing game with high emphasis on performing tricks that led to a lot of variety and challenge to its track design. Also had a fantastic soundtrack that really allowed you to get into the groove of its high-speed action.
A special "Fuck You" to Pixar in this review, whose unjust lawsuit caused Nintendo to pull the game from further production. Because of that, only a small amount of cartridges were ever made, effectively kneecapping its success and preventing Uniracers from ever seeing the light of day again. I've always felt lucky to have owned this wonderful game growing up.
