Overview and Gameplay
Wide-eyed polygon cars race, jump, and take damage in Stunt Race FX, Nintendo’s Super FX-powered SNES racer. Players choose a vehicle with different handling traits, then clear races, stunt courses, or two-player match races while managing speed, time, boost, and damage.
Speed Trax is the main single-player racing mode, with three-lap courses, checkpoints, CPU rivals, and saved best times. Stunt Trax focuses on obstacle courses, stars, and reaching the goal before time runs out.
