| If you've been in Europe long enough, you've probably heard of the Lada car company. However, you probably haven't heard of this relatively obscure tie-in game, involving racing - yes, you guessed it - a Lada... which happens to have a rocket launcher and machine gun (those are almost certainly not standard features). | ||

| Skyroads is a short game where one controls racer on tracks containing lots of bottomless pits and obstacles, but our author doesn't care about that, he just bounces to the music and blast through levels. Don't blink. This second version of the run is 2.65 seconds faster than the first. | ||

| Not satisfied with regular Skyroads, the developers decided to create a new set of significantly shorter yet excessively difficult tracks under the excuse of a holiday theme. Here, you can feel vindicated that you don't have to play through those tracks yourself. | ||

| Kuru Kuru Kururin is an unusual game that is a mix of racing/puzzle genres. The player controls a slowly spinning stick called the Helirin, and must maneuver it through a series of mazes. The player controls the direction and speed of movement but not the Helirin's constant rotation. In this fast paced TAS Ryuto chooses to ignore damage penalties in exchange for blazing fast realtime completion and creative methods of getting around the Helirin's forced rotation to squeeze into even the tiniest of gaps. | ||

| Kururin Paradise is the sequel to Kuru Kuru Kururin. Once again you control the Helirin, but this time you have a small measure of control over its rotation. This extra control allowed Ryuto to create a movie that can aim for fastest time without taking damage. Also added to the sequel are several strange and entertaining minigames, such as using the Helirin to mow grass or attack intruding enemies Space Invaders style. This is a 27.81 second improvement over the last attempt by the same author. | ||

| Annoyed with the success of the Mario Kart series, a bunch of Rare characters got together and held a racing competition of their own. Along with the availability of several types of vehicles, this game has something of a storyline to it and full completion requires reloading a saved game after the credits run for the first time. More races occur after the initial credit roll, so don't stop watching once the ending plays. | ||

| Marble Madness is an isometric game similar in its style to Snake Rattle 'n Roll. The objective in these two games is quite different, though. In this game, the player must roll a marble from one point to another. This is, of course, not as easy as it sounds, and certainly not as easy as it looks in this movie. Aglar improved adelikat and Deign's movie by 5.10 seconds. A second encode is available using a camera hack to focus on the marble, which subtly alters the gameplay. Also, you can see this movie played back on an actual NES! | ||

| Rad is a slang term, short for radical. This movie shows what radical sports is when applied to car driving on NES. Curiously, the game Rad Racer was made by Square, which is probably best known for its Final Fantasy game series. Quite a different game, this here... If you decide to play this game, we recommend the Power Glove. It's so bad. | ||

| The Adventures of Bayou Billy (1989) contains a trinity of genres: beat 'em up (like Streets of Rage), sniping (like part of Golgo 13), and car racing (like Rad Racer). In the game, 'Bayou' Billy West fights his way through Louisiana en route to New Orleans in order to save his kidnapped girlfriend, the luscious Annabelle Lane. The American version of this game is a lot more difficult than the Japanese one (Mad City), although this video makes it seem easy. This is a 56 second improvement over the previous movie by Phil. | ||

| The Genesis remake of Marble Madness is not directly comparable to the original. In addition to having much worse audio quality, the rules on where (and what) the marble can go (and do) are relaxed, allowing for many shortcuts not possible on the NES. This improvement by SprintGod is 10 seconds faster than adelikat's previous version. | ||

| Skitchin' is a racing game released in 1994 by EA. It is the spiritual successor to the Road Rash series. The goal of the game is to rollerblade to the finish line, grabbing cars to boost your speed (the titular "skitching"), performing tricks, and knocking over other racers with various weapons. In this tool-assisted speedrun, very few cars are skitched and the other racers are ignored. | ||

| Anyone with a passing familiarity with the Final Fantasy series should recognise the fine Chocobo, preferred steed of many alternate universes. It's therefore not surprising that a game starring Chocobos and races would be released. The Japanese version of this game is used due to differences in at least one stage causing the Japanese version to be more difficult. | ||

| After completing the story mode of Chocobo Racing nine times, one gains access to the secret character "Invincible". This run, starting from a save state generated by this movie, uses this character in time attack mode to put the other characters to shame. This run pauses for a few seconds between tracks to show the final track times. Note that we do not normally accept runs starting from save states. See the Rules for more information. | ||

| A high speed racing game featuring rodents from another (nearby) planet. Although the author doesn't classify the velocity potential of the motorcycle as a programming error in the game, the speed at which he rips through the courses may make you wonder. A password is used to skip to the final round at Super Hard difficulty with fully upgraded Engine and Shot parts. | ||

The first of the series. F-Zero is a racing game of the
future, with machines that reach more than 470 km/h top-speed.
This movie uses the Fire Stingray to surpass the world record time
and best lap time on Mute City 1, the first stage.

| The objective of Lamborghini - American Challenge is to become the champion of illegal street racing. The player speeds through street traffic, while avoiding speed traps, and makes his way across the finish line first. Instead, laranja uses a glitch to gain thousands of dollars by losing a race. Then, he buys the best equipment, enabling him to drive very, very fast. Specifically, he is now able to complete the timed races that are required to beat the game. If you're looking for a racing car that drives 310 mph on icy roads, don't look further. You have it here. In this version, the author makes an improvement of over 2 minutes by skipping more of the 2nd race. | ||

| Super Mario Kart is the first in a popular series of games starring the Mario cast racing go-karts. This run aims to get record times in all tracks at 150cc difficulty. This is achieved mostly by jumping straight into walls, bottomless pits, and lava, among many other things. Mushrooms are also used frequently due to their mysteriously friction-free propulsion powers. A high amount of wall-bouncing is required. This run is over a minute and a half faster than the previous published run, due to new exploits of the definition of a lap. | ||

| Normally, Top Gear 2 involves racing through many gruelling tracks across sixteen countries, gradually upgrading one's vehicle until it can become competitive in the top tiers. Here a password is used to skip directly to the final country with a stock vehicle substantially slower than the competition it faces - conditions in which any human player would find it impossible to win. Yet this is no obstacle for perfect reflexes and a great deal of luck. | ||
