Marketed as a "cross between Mario Kart and Street Fighter", the go-kart themed game combined racing with comedy and beat 'em up influenced violence. Street Racer is a racing video game published by Ubi Soft for various systems.

The Story Behind Street Racer

Street Racer is a racing video game published by Ubi Soft for various systems. A number of ideas were considered, and they settled on a racing game similar to Super Mario Kart. As the team grew, Vivid Image began renting out an office in Harrow.

Newcomers to the team, twins Tony and Chris West, spearheaded the development and were able to use their coding skills on the 4-player mode to remove the need for Nintendo's DSP chip, saving $3 per cartridge. This would mark the start of a 4-year relationship with Ubi Soft. While working on Second Samurai, Vivid Image was keen on kicking off a parallel project on the SNES.

How Street Racer Plays

The competitor with the most points after all races wins the Championship. An alternative one-on-one mode is also available. Street Racer is a racing video game published by Ubi Soft for various systems.

As in many racing games, the AI in Street Racer adjusts itself according to the player's performance, becoming harder to beat if the player does well and easier to beat if the player makes mistakes. The game's characters (including Surf Sister and Frank Instein) possess unique power-ups such as the Screaming Banshee, Batmobile, magic carpet and tri-plane. One of the main selling points of the later PlayStation and Saturn versions was that they supported up to eight players on a split screen, something that would have ordinarily caused slowdown to the point of unplayability on contemporary gaming hardware.

Why Players Still Load It Up

Smith said the "good tracks" of the "top SNES game" version had been "sacrificed" for "decent speed" and complained that this speed ruined the cornering mechanics. GamePros Sarah Nade gave the SNES version a rave review, saying that it features gameplay similar to Super Mario Kart but is "even better." She praised the large selection of imaginative tracks, the individualized special weapons for each character, the four player "head-to-head-to-head-to-head" mode, the ability to rewatch races from any angle, the graphics, the smooth controls, and the alternate "Rumble" and "Soccer" modes. The characters are cartoony, and the racing's decent." In 1995, Total! ranked Street Racer 39th in its Top 100 SNES Games; they called the game a "superb racer."

He concluded the game is "not a bad rental, it's just not unique or funny enough to warrant a purchase." Rob Bright of Sega Saturn Magazine found "the characters a bit tacky and the characters largely derivative" but praised the game's artificial intelligence and variety of game modes. The reviewer noted the "pretty intense" action of the rumble mode and said the football mode did not live up to its potential but was a "pretty reasonable" distraction. However, he also praised the cartoon-like graphics and responsive controls, and deemed it a solid substitute for Mario Kart on the PlayStation, though he recommended gamers rent it before deciding whether to buy.
