Rad Racer

A behind-the-car racing game about shifting gears and beating the clock on scenic roads.

Square · Nintendo · 1–2 hrs

Difficulty

Square's Out Run cousin. A time-extend racer with a night course that still looks expensive. Brake before the hairpin, not in it.

Tips

  • Start here

    Second gear is a corner, fourth is a straight

    Don't hold turbo through a city turn. The checkpoint is a timer gift — miss one and the run is over. Night course: follow the reflectors, not the scenery.

  • Secrets

    The 3D toggle is a brightness trick

    Even without glasses, the 3D mode changes contrast. Use whichever lets you read the next curve. A crash is a full stop — better to lift.
