Play Street Racer (Japan) on gb Online
You drift around tight corners while shoving rivals into walls, dodging banana peels and that one jerk in the purple car who always rams you. The janky 3D somehow makes weaving through traffic more intense.
Street Racer for the Game Boy, released in Japan in 1990 by publisher Imagineer, is a top-down racing game that fits right in with the handheld's early library of straightforward, pick-up-and-play titles. It doesn't try to be a technical showcase; instead, it offers a simple, portable racing experience that was common for the time.
You control a small car from an overhead view, navigating through multi-lane traffic across several city courses. The main goal is to finish each race in first place while avoiding obstacles and aggressive rival drivers. Signature mechanics include weaving through dense traffic that changes lanes unpredictably, using a limited turbo boost for short bursts of speed, and occasionally dealing with loose items on the track, like oil slicks, that can cause you to spin out. The pacing is fast and the difficulty can feel unforgiving, especially when a single collision costs valuable time. It feels like a tense, chaotic scramble to the finish line where every small mistake is punished.
