Uniracers

What do you get when you cross Sonic the Hedgehog with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? It may be an odd combination, but it describes Uniracers perfectly. Uniracers is one of the most successful games of the Super Nintendo era, combining platform-based high-speed racing with crazy stunts and tricks. The basic idea in most levels of the game is simple. Get your unicycle from A to B as fast as possible and finish it before your opponent. It's like Sonic, only without annoying opponents, pointless power-ups and frustrating obstacles. In fact, it doesn't sound like a real game at all.... But here's the key. Tricks performed and landed during the race increase your speed. The better the trick, the greater your speed increase. Also, some levels are set in areas that are only for stunts. In these levels you have to earn as many style points as possible by performing tricks. In these levels you don't go against an opponent, but against the clock and a specific score. Unicycles are silly and difficult, but still fun once you master them. The same could be said about Uniracer....
