Yeah, sorry, I know Batlle & Chase has a few fans, but I’m not quite sure how. Some decent fanservice going on, I suppose, and I like the illustrated, animated driver portraits. I also love the concept of a Mega Man kart racer on its face. That’s about all this has going for it. Unfortinately, this is a kart racer where it feels like you’re controlling the track itself instead of a kart. All of the tracks feel like they came out of a first grader’s notebook, too. As far as I could tell, you also have to hit 10 obstacles in between each weapon pickup to free up your slot again? Who came up with this shit? A couple of points for some originality, but little more than a participation trophy. Battle & Chase is unattractive, hollow slop that shoots for Mario Kart 64 and ends up somewhere closer to South Park Rally.
I like this game quite a bit, but I don't think it's great. I think it's a great game for Mega Man fans (with an *, because a lot of the charm gets cut in the EU release sadly) and a decent kart racer that didn't really get what made Kart racers fun at the time.
We'll never get a sequel for this game, but it kinda deserves one.

I remember when the petition was going around to get this localized. I'm so happy that it eventually finally did (in Mega Man X Collection, for PS2/GameCube/XBox)
Uma pena que não tivemos mais Spin-Off de corrida na franquia, eu não acho esse jogo ruim só genérico mesmo
The driving in this game is weird, it's not stiff but it feels like you are spinning the floor below your car instead of steering around a car. The way you get items is pretty original but the items themselves sure do suck ass though
