I've never heard of Top Gear before, so this is all new to me too. I know at least some Mario Karts have a hidden rival system so it's interesting to see a more upfront variation of it. Relying on passwords is a bummer but that does sound like a lot of content for an SNES game.

Bringing up F-Zero also has me dying to know how you feel about F-Zero 99. For all the differences in 99, it has made me appreciate the track design of the original both aesthetically and just in terms of going through them.

I haven't had a chance to play F-Zero 99 yet, but I'm dying to. I'll wrest the Switch away from the kids at some point soon so I can dive in, just conceptually I'm on board.

Absolutely wonderful game, if you are yearning for more I highly recommend Horizon Chase Turbo. Its a great throwback racer that even shares the same composer of Top Gear and it keeps similar game feel and vibes while having an absurd amount of tracks and modes to play through.
