Stunt Race FX is another polygonal 3D game on SNES - this time it’s a racer, seriously seems like the next natural progression from earlier SNES efforts such as F-Zero and Mario Kart merged with Star Fox.
I’m stunned by how legitimate this is, I adore Virtua Racer and while Stunt Race FX runs a little slower on the FPS and is less graphically impressive. Stunt Race still manages to squeeze in 3 cups with 4 courses each (against 3 foe racers), 3 bonus stages in the Speed Trax and 4 additional Stunt Trax which is a typical “collect all 40 stars” affair but on new courses.
Rounds it out to about 19 distinct and different courses, there are some that appear underwater and have visual flair such as a dolphin jumping the course or later the Star Fox fleet zooming around the course, the frames take a huge hit with so much activity on the screen but it’s very cool and nifty.
There is Battle Trax for 2 player multiplayer and Free Trax which is a time trials mode.
Mucking around with (eventually) every title on the Nintendo Switch Online service I can honestly say the 1 or 2 hours I spent mucking around was worthwhile. I feel this could have been referred back to, like a random stage being pulled into Mario Kart or a kart having a basis on the Coupé for instance.
