Play Gekisou Dangun Racer - Onsoku Buster Dangun Dan (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Man, Gekisou Dangun Racer is one of those Game Boy Color games that makes you wonder how they squeezed so much speed into that little cartridge. The second you hit the gas, your tiny racer just launches—like someone strapped a rocket to a matchbox car. Tracks twist and loop in ways that shouldn’t work on a 2D screen, but somehow it does, with neon-bright pixels blurring past as you barely scrape past barriers.

It’s got that same “one more try” vibe as F-Zero, but with this weird, janky charm—like the developers cranked everything to 11 and called it a day. The music? Pure late-‘90s Japanese arcade chaos, all synths and basslines that somehow don’t sound like garbage through the GBC’s tinny speaker. And yeah, it’s tough—miss one turn and you’re eating wall for the rest of the lap—but when you nail a perfect drift around a corkscrew, it feels stupidly good.

Definitely one for the “obscure racing games that deserved more love” pile. Just don’t blame me when your thumbs hurt.
