Description
Automobile racing game using the Super FX chip for 3D polygon visuals. Published by Nintendo, released in the United States in 1994. Fantastical-design vehicles racing on Super FX-generated 3D circuits and two-player mode. Technical demonstration of the Super FX chip in a racing game on Super Nintendo.
Revision 1 of the American Stunt Race FX pressing, a second cartridge state correcting technical aspects of the initial Super FX-chip run. For the collector, the interest lies not only in the game but in the coexistence of two revisions: identifying the differences between the original version and Rev 1 is a stake specific to Nintendo hardware specialists. Desirability rests on that manufacturing-variant dimension within a technically emblematic title.
Is Stunt Race FX still worth playing in 2026?
A polygonal 3D racer powered by the Super FX chip, Stunt Race FX offers bumpy tracks, jumps and loops across stylised settings with expressive vehicles. The sense of relief and the cartoon mood made it a striking technical showcase in 1994. The very low framerate and a floaty handling have aged poorly against current standards. A technological milestone to discover for fans of video game history and the curious about Nintendo's 3D experiments.
