Play Micro Machines (USA, Europe) on gb Online

Micro Machines on the Game Boy, released in 1991 by Codemasters, was a clever adaptation of the toy car racing series for Nintendo's handheld. It arrived during a time when portable games often had to simplify console ideas, but this one kept the spirit of racing in miniature environments intact.

You control one of several small vehicles, racing against opponents across household surfaces like tabletops and bathtubs. The main goal is to finish first in a series of short, frantic races, advancing through cups and unlocking faster cars. Key mechanics include avoiding obstacles like pencils and soap, navigating tight, scrolling tracks that require quick reflexes, and using turbo boosts for short bursts of speed. The game moves quickly and the controls are intentionally slippery, making every turn a careful balance between speed and control. It feels both playful and tense, like trying to win a race on a surface that was never meant for racing.
