Rock'n'roll racing changed my life. One day when I was a kid I was playing that game when my older sister's cool, bully boyfriend came to my house. He looked at me almost with compassion and said: do you know what song is this, my little nerd? And I said no and blushed. Some days later he brought me his vinyl of Paranoid: it blew my mind. I'm a musician today, always thought that I would never have been if it wasn't for that game and that bastard in a leather jacket.

The Top Gear theme tune really bought me back. The top three are all fantastic but I really loved Top Gear for its speed.

Biker mice from Mars man! Yes. Class. That was underrated. Great video OSG 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Glad to see all three Top Gear games here, that's a fantastic series. Lots of variety here..2D, 3D, isometric, polygons..the SNES is a 16-bit wonder.

OSG; your taste in retro game soundtracks is 👍👍 That Top Gear tune is class indeed 😊

Biker Mice from Mars certainly deserves to be in top 5. It's my most played game this summer, and I don't even know anything about the source cartoon. Lots of fun, great music, awesome gameplay

Another top quality video and some cracking games as well👍

I was never into consoles in the 16-bit era, I was into computers, so my access to their games was very limited till the day of youtube. I didn't know there were 20 racing games on the SNES. All the retro channels which talk about them never mention anything other than Mario, F-Zero and perhaps one more. Thanks for the video.

Fantastic video, Mr. OSG! I am glad you stuck with Stunt Race FX - superb, once you get used to it...! Your top 2 matches my top 2, as well: F-Zero - 2nd, Super Mario Kart - 1st. I love racing in the track called "Silence" in F-Zero, with all its 90-degree corners...! As for Super Mario Kart, I took, literally, TEN YEARS(!), to get past Donut Plains 3, the first track, in the Special Cup, in 100cc mode... When I FINALLY got the hang of it, that was the key to me winning the championship, and therefore, COMPLETING THE GAME...! By jingo, those end credits were worth the wait...! Now, I regularly win the Super Mario Kart 100cc Special Cup/complete the game/watch the end credits, for the fun of it...! I've EVEN won the 150cc Special Cup, in that game, ELEVEN TIMES...! The latter being the TRUE, HARDEST MARIO KART CHAMPIONSHIP, OF ALL TIME...!!! 200cc mode in Mario Kart 8, on the Wii U DLC/8 Deluxe, on the Switch, may be a HIGHER number, but it is NOT as hard as the 150cc Special Cup on the SNES/Super NES/Super Famicom... In fact, because games are so DERPED, nowadays (my way of saying "made easier, with CLEAR CPU handicaps"), I have seen that MARIO KART 8/8 DELUXE CPU KARTS/BIKES/TRIKES SLOW DOWN, AS THEY APPROACH THE FINISH LINE, IN THE FINAL LAP... EVEN IN THE DAMNED 200CC MODE...! #Annoying. ⚡🎮🏎🏁1️⃣🗣👊😎😁🌈💖

Out of all the games you mentioned the only one i played was F-Zero since i own that game.

Ty for this great video

I’ve played sooo much Test drive II and still loves that game. Super Mario kart goes as #1 without question. A bunch of players batteling it out , race upon race , a friday night in the early teens , was good times.

I loved F-Zero. One of the few 1990's console games that had a sense of speed similar to an arcade cabinet racing game. Other home system racing games were just a bit slow.

Great video buddy as always. Never got to play much on the SNES not sure why but something about Nintendo always made me think it was more for kids, yeah i know that's not the case now ofc. Saying that i did get to play one or to of these games Rock n' Roll Racing and Micro Machines oh and Chase H.Q as well and they seem to be good on this system as well so may get around to giving them a go. Roll on the next video, take care buddy :)

I loved Lotus Espirit back in the day, I'll have to track down one of those Top Gear games.

I absolutely loved Street Racer back in my SNES days, I think I probably played it more than Mario Kart although Mario Kart definitely holds up better today.

I'd never seen let alone heard of Biker Mice from Mars on the SNES - that looks cool, I wanna play it now!

I used to play Bike Mice from Mars for days back then. Finished it on all difficulties including the locked ones with Vinnie (the slowest dude). That required some skill with all the super abilities and boosts. Man I don't regret spending so much time on this game at all.

Congratulations, great video.

Great picks, great memories! I spent alot of time on top gear 3000.

Only had access to a mates SNES in the 90s. Never saw any other racers than Mario Kart so this is all good to see!

Turbo Toons is pretty fun, especially at it's 5 player multiplayer!

I totally agree with you choices. I think it spot on.

Great list and a few games I had never seen before. I would have had Street Racer higher but cant grumble about the others

Rock n Roll Racing, F-Zero and Mario Kart are my top 3, it's hard to want more than those 3 when they will keep you playing them over and over again.

no surprises, good list. my favourites are offroad, topgear2, and maybe testdrive2 but it doesn't feel like testdrive... dont know why :) you could do a 8bit&16bit top10 video which would summarize this serie!

Wow, ive never seen Chase HQ 2 before on the SNES.. interesting version! Looks a bit funny though, like a kid at the steering wheel hehe, like a kid is driving the car.

I definitely agree with the list, some truly great games in the line up.

I remember playing Uniracers as a kid and being blown away by it! And all hail the mighty Super Mario Kart!

I dunno about Mario Kart being #1. F-Zero is one of the best 'pick up and play' racing games on the SNES. It's speed, tight control and the difficulty ramp are all top notch. I find myself playing this more often than almost any other racer I own. But hey, I do enjoy a MK race every now and then.

I don't play racing games much outside the Mario Kart games but Biker Mice from Mars is my favorite.

Nice list, I am a big fan of Exhaust Heat.

This video was class

The Top Gear intro music is totally Plug-In Baby by Muse

A really underrated SNES racer is Stunt Race FX. A true classic is Top Gear 2!!!! Brilliant compilation by the way!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Some I still need to try, I love Street Racer.

Some decent looking racers there m8. Loved the Motorhead on Rock n' Roll racing! nice. Never been a fan big fan of F-Zero, I remember BITD my fellow Amiga owning friend had imported a SNES with F-Zero, he was saying it's the best racer ever! and blows the Amiga out the water! I was underwhelmed when I played it, still think Lotus II is better, maybe that's me just being a fanboy. Had to be SMK for the top spot, like you said get over the cutsie characters and yer got a rock solid racer. Great vid :)

I may have to check out Biker Mice From Mars, it looks great.

Top Gear and Lamborghinni American Challenge are probably the ones I've played the most, the later one being probably the only Titus software game I can remember to have enjoyed in life. Also, a fun fact: Here in Brasil, the Nigel Mansell World championship Racing received a romhack that got itself more popular than the original game, and all it did was switch Mansell for Senna, alongside renault's car body paint to Mclaren's. Seems people just could not afford to have Senna on Mega Drive and not on the SNES. lol

Somethings never age, just like the SNES. ❤

I think test drive 2 the duel is incredible. it is like the first need for speed 1. awesome open road and cockpit view.

Missing Human Grand Prix. Great game

Uniracers should be in first place. I played it for hundreds of hours back in the day. It is the number one game when it comes to racing against your friend with split screen. I played all of those other games too, uniracers beats them all.

your thumbnail looks a lot like the The Cars Greatest Hits album cover.

Top Gear 1 is the best racing game of the 16 bit era.

I think the problem you might have with the SNES version of Micro Machines 2 is that it has less screen space to show the track, so at times you just don't get enough of an indication of an upcoming turn or whatever to react properly. What would have really helped here would have been a smarter camera that constantly adjusted and moved to the position that showed more of the track ahead of the car depending on what direction it was facing. I kinda wish someone would hack that into the game now....

I take it you have heard of horizon chase if you like Top Gear but I love it, them Brazilians don't just make scary spiders and smooth women.

After the mario song in the intro ,there the song of a game that i played millions of time what was it,cant remenber the name?

*I thought Stunt Race FX was number one as it’s the best racing game on 16- bit machine and controls are perfect!* ⭐️

Power Drive should definitely be on here, I rank it the 12th best racing game for the console...and I prefer GP-1 over GP-1 Part II but neither are above average.

i remember playing top gear (3rd place) when i was around 5 or 6. born in 94.

You need to start learning to use the brakes for corners lolol

I play super Mario kart when I was a kid and I still like it. 😀👍🎮

Biker mice's soundrack as well as the next racing game have the same iconic mmx2 sound. The 2nd one is clearly Ozzy though

I only missed " Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing", really good Stock car racing game including phrase, too fast!

_Uniracers_ actually got retitled _Unirally_ here in the UK and throughout the PAL regions.

Personally I’d put Top Gear as my #1 and Rock n Roll Racing as my # 2 Mario kart and f zero were great but I never clocked as many hours on them as I did on Top Gear or Rock n Roll Racing. It wasn’t till the the N64 that I really liked mario kart and GameCube that I fell in love with F Zero

The main problem I have with Street Racer is that you can't see any of the f'n icons and stuff on the track, so, genuinely, I would rather they'd just left the out for the most part and stuck with just the core racing and physical attacking. If they could remove most of the pickup texture junk on the track and just have a few really easy to see boxes or whatever, it would probably transform into one of the best racers on SNES--but that's just a "what could have been" and nothing else. I kinda wish someone would hack the game now with a bunch of tracks that were cleared of most of the pickup crap on the track....

How did you capture your footage with Stunt Race FX? When I play it on the switch it runs at 25 fps-ish. It's hard to play.

A very predictable list. One except I didn't know about Test drive. Anyway thanks for Your work 😀

3:13 also it runs at a lower resolution than the Mega Drive, 256 width instead of 320, so the screen is stretched and a lot is cut off. Also, as they are PAL region developed games, like the Mega Drive version, it's better to play all the Micro Machines games in PAL 50Hz, as in NTSC they run too fast

Damn the SNES could deliver some impressive looking pseudo-3D effects! Especially at racing games.

Dirt Trax FX is in the top 3 for sure!

Considering the SNES had hardware scaling, I always wondered what a port of OUTRUN might have looked like in a hypothetical situation where Sega ported themselves or licensed out the rights to a company like Atari/Tengen to put OUTRUN on Super Nintendo. It would probably have looked a lot like TOP GEAR or LAMBORGHINI: AMERICAN CHALLENGE, fast enough to be called "OUTRUN" but not nearly as densely populated with scaling sprites compared to the arcade due to technical limitations of the SNES compared to the arcade Super Scaler hardware. Even though I had a SNES as well as a Genesis, I generally stuck to playing racing games on Genesis, even without hardware scaling, due to the arcade racing pedigree of Sega. I know it's unfair, and I know I was missing out on a lot, but when I was a teenager, I felt like the Mode 7 that games like Super Mario Kart and F-Zero used made the sprites look like they were racing on one of those kid's play rugs with the roads printed on it.

The ones I love the most are top gear and Mario kart

I think the western SNES line up of racing games is not super deep outside of the 10 to 15 games know by everyone (the ones by Nintendo, Top Gear, Micro Machines, R&R Racing, Street Racer, Biking Mars from Mars and Off Road), definitely the Mega Drive line up is better, however there are surprisingly many Japan only racing games for the Super Famicom that are worth cheking out and elevate the line up of the console quite a bit.

No wonder Horizon Chase Turbo team have the Top Gear composer (and even a remix of the track you used for the Top Gear 1 segment).

Top Gear for the win!

What's the music OST name from 12:23 till the end of the video?

mode7 ftw

Do you play a dwarf with a dwarf bike in GP-1? It looks really irritating. Loved Top Gear, F-Zero and Rock Roll Racing back then. Absolute classics.

In my view, list is missing the likes of Human Grand Prix (1->4), a.k.a. F1 Pole Position(1->2 only) in Europe. The series was some form of precursor to Gran Turismo for me: tons of settings on the cars. Those games looked somewhat austere (especially the 1st one), but the gameplay was great.

1 top gear 2 rock roll racing 3 mario kart

Can i know.....i think i have see game like nigel mansell's world championship racing but i don't know what's the game😭😭😭😭can anyone tell me

Played biker mice for over an hour... does that mean you played the previous games for less? Top gear 3000 is my personal fave because I just love how the tracks and cpus feel on hard, plus the upgrades. It really lasts IMO. Fzero is fun but once you get decent the stupid levels of rubber banding dribes me nuts

Really hate top gear 1 for it's forced Computer to play with you , I've noticed when I 1st played it that , the CPU really has it out for you , if you try and get away it will rubber band hard , and test you , it will gain and be on your ass quick and funny enough, if you start to fall behind , it will too start failing badly , I always found it insulting, you and the CPU are rivals and friends I guess , could you imagine if there was an option where you can turn it off , 1 player full screen , damn, that would be awesome.

there was a top down f1 game i played back in the day on snes. had funky portraits of the real f1 drivers. i distinctly remember the hilarious one of schumacher. cant remember the name but it was quite good despite the top down view. and none of that ugly mode 7 shit.

Looking... looking... looking... and I don't see Super Off-Road: The Baja on here. You really think those top down Micro Machine racers where it's ridiculously easy to fall off the track are better?

Mario Kart is the 🐐 It’s a non contest

Super Mario Kart isn't only the best racing game on the Snes it's hands down the BEST Snes game & also the greatest Mario Kart game. I was an utter beast at it!

Why isnt F1 pole position 1 or pole position 2 on this list? They are the best F1 games on snes, much better than nigel mansells championship, more options, randon weather, more realistic damage models and can get random car issues, almost simulator level on the car settings. I found them to be far better than the F1 games mentioned in the list.

One hint: learn to use brake before you take a turn. BRAKE. B R A K E. B-R-A-K-E.

well actualy Rock n´ roll racing is my best racing game ever.... and second bicker mice from mars, maybe just cuss i like isometric view... but...

Faltó Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing :(

Jimmy Swayze.

Why is the SNES version of Off Road not as good as the other versions?

😂mario kart lol So Sega was years ahead if someone think mario kart is the best that snes could offer (which is obviously wasn’t).

Why do you insist in these dulls Super Off Road and Micro Machines?!

Top gear 3000 shpuld be top 3
