Overview and Gameplay
GranShocker has seized Japan, and nine super-deformed Kamen Riders must liberate eight regions before confronting the enemy at Mount Fuji. This 1993 Famicom game combines board-game movement, role-playing progression, and turn-based motorcycle races rather than conventional side-scrolling action.
Choose one of three Rider teams, travel across regional maps with a roulette wheel, enter buildings, manage fuel and endurance, and defeat enemy racers. Sprint events reward experience and yen, while regional boss races require three laps or the destruction of every opposing vehicle. Earned levels are spent at headquarters to improve engine, body, or tank statistics.
