A Mega Drive kart racer that magazines rated highly, at a below-the-middle price among European-only carts.
Street Racer is a kart racer from Vivid Image, published by Ubi Soft. It came out on the Mega Drive in Europe on 29 June 1995, and this page covers that cartridge, not the Super NES version.
Sega Pro noted that it fits on a mere 8 megabit cart, with eight drivers whose weapons all work differently, and that the Mega Drive version lacks the Mode 7 effect, so the short cuts of the Super NES game are absent, though it looks clearer and plays more straightforwardly. Computer and Video Games called it the format's best racing game, and said the four-player option was confusing but a fantastic reason to buy it.
What the press said at the time
“The Mega Drive version doesn’t quite have the speed or variety of its Nintendo cousin, there just aren’t as many twists and turns. … When all’s said and done though it’s not a bad racing game for Sega’s 16-bitter.”
“A great-looking, fast-paced racer. But a lack of driving feel limits its enjoyability in the long-run.”
“The Mega Drive version also plays considerably faster than before, so if you thought the Super NES game was hectic, you ain't seen nothing yet!”

How the Sega Genesis version differs
Sega Pro said the Mega Drive version lacked Mode 7, so the shortcuts that added strategy to the Super NES version were absent, though without the rotating tracks it looked clearer and was more straightforward to play.
Computer and Video Games said Mega Drive owners would not get the Mode 7 brilliance of the Super NES game, but had been given their format's best racing game.
Also on other platforms

- Super NES. GamePro's reviewer gave the Super NES version a rave review, saying it was even better than Super Mario Kart.
- PlayStation. A selling point of the PlayStation and Saturn versions was support for up to eight players on a split screen.
Before you buy
Among European-only carts it sits below the middle. Sega Retro lists it as working with both Sega's Team Player and EA's 4 Way Play.
