An underrated gem

A top-down racer in the Micro Machines mold, spiced with weapons and upgrades, this little game bets on instant fun over polish. Released with no marketing ambition, it blended into the crowd. Imperfect but a blast with friends, it'll win over fans of convivial arcade racing hunting for a forgotten cartridge.

Is Racing Gears Advance still worth playing in 2026?

A top down racing game, Racing Gears Advance weds snappy arcade driving to combat style weaponry, dressed up with vehicle upgrades earned through progression. The winding circuits, the weapons to pick up and the line management make up a dynamic, surprisingly rich blend for the format. The polished presentation, the clarity and the variety of events exceed the expectations of a little known title. For a fan of arcade racing or someone curious about the GBA's quiet gems, the title keeps a snappy pleasure and a real generosity of content.
