Zero Racers

virtual-boy

Enter the future of racing 10 years before the turn of the 30th century. Zero Racers was shown at E3 1996, but went unreleased until 2026 as part of the Nintendo Classics collection. Forced to live underground, humanity has lost its former glory and access to certain emotions. This is where the RACE is held. Compete for the highest rank in your machine of choice on courses of interconnected square ducts. You must maintain a rank within each lap's specified range and finish in the top three to advance to the next course. Fly through Rapid Marks on each course to obtain RAPID and use that to give yourself a temporary speed boost!
