A Nintendo polygonal 3D racer via Super FX2, demanding and original. Brimming with ideas but technically limited, a UFO worth a try.

Description
Racing game using the Super FX chip for 3D visuals, Japanese version of Stunt Race FX. Published by Nintendo, released in Japan in 1994. Fantastical vehicles on Super FX-generated 3D circuits. Japanese version of Stunt Race FX on Super Famicom.
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.
