Play Mountain Bike Rally Online

Mountain Bike Rally came out for the Super Nintendo in 1994, developed by Radical Entertainment. It was part of that wave of early 90s sports games trying to capture the feel of something fast and physical, before 3D graphics really took over. You got a lot of these off-road racing games back then, each with their own particular spin on handling and track design.

You control a mountain biker from an isometric view, racing against the clock or an opponent on branching downhill courses. The main goal is simple: get to the finish line as fast as possible without crashing. The signature mechanics are the manual control over your rider's posture; you can lean forward or back to affect speed and landing stability, and you need to time your pedaling to get a boost off jumps. The physics are unforgiving, and a bad landing will send you tumbling, costing precious seconds. It feels like a constant fight to keep your bike upright while pushing for every bit of speed on the narrow, obstacle-filled paths.
