Play World Circuit Series Online

Game Overview

World Circuit Series (or F-1 Spirit if you're feeling nostalgic) is that classic Konami racer squeezed onto the Game Boy. You start off picking between three classes—basically easy, medium, and hard—with faster cars and longer tracks as you move up. The beginner ones are forgiving, just gentle curves where you barely tap the D-pad, but by the time you hit F1, you're wrestling with hairpins that'll send you into the barriers if you don't nail the gear changes.

What's cool is how the tracks unlock. You don't just get all 25 at once—some only show up in championship mode, so you've got to work your way from Japanese Formula 3 up to the big leagues. And yeah, pit stops actually matter later on when your tires start crying. Controls are dead simple: steer with the D-pad, B for gas, A to shift gears. No fancy tricks, just pure racing where the only thing between you and first place is how well you take that last corner.

It's one of those games where you keep telling yourself "one more race" at 2 AM.
