Editorial Review

Based on the toy line of miniaturized cars, Penny Racers is cutesy kart racing with a twist. Rather than selecting a car with predetermined characteristics as in most games of this genre, you customize a generic Racer with almost 100 parts in eight different categories. Starting off with the worst possible parts, you must win races to get better parts, which you "relieve" the losers of; this can lead to some serious cutthroat action when it comes to multiplayer games. High replay value is further upped by the game's "New Track" option, which allows you to create your very own tracks.

The downside to all these custom options is the fact that a Memory Pack is more of a necessity than a "supported" accessory. Without one, you can't save any Racer or track data, and it would be a real shame to lose that Japanese noodle shop truck with the off-road tires and roof-mounted cannon when you turn off your Nintendo. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Wide variety of customization options for your Racer
• Ability to create your own tracks
• High replay value and excellent multiplayer action

Cons:

• Memory Pack more of a requirement than an option
• 3- and 4-player modes available only on custom-made tracks
• Cartoony theme may turn off veteran gamers

5.0 out of 5 stars more mario cart than mario kart, February 12, 1999

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

This game is pretty sweet. It's alot of fun to play and kinda cartoony. In my opinion, its more like mario cart (which I loved) on the super nintendo then mario kart on the n64 is. This is a good thing, its fast paced with decent (not great) graphics and the sound is appropriate. Bottom line is; if you liked mario kart for super nintendo and were disappointed by the n64 conversion (like I was) you'll like PennyRacers.

I think that over all Penny Racers is a good game but sometimes it can get a bit boring because of slow moving cars. On the other hand it is good because you must come in a certian place to upgrad your car to get you to win more races. Another important factor which makes it good is that you have skilled opponints
