F-1 Race on the Game Boy is this weird little racing game that somehow feels both simple and kinda intense. You’ve got these tiny top-down cars zipping around tight tracks, and the controls are basic—just gas, brake, and steer—but man, those turns come at you fast. The coolest part? Before each race, Mario, Luigi, and other Nintendo characters pop up like they’re cheering you on (or maybe judging your driving skills).

It’s not exactly a sim—more like an arcade racer with a weirdly addictive rhythm. You’ll crash into walls a lot at first, but once you get the hang of drifting around corners, it’s weirdly satisfying. Just don’t expect fancy graphics; this is pure early Game Boy charm. The music’s got that classic bleep-bloop energy too.

Honestly, it’s one of those games that feels way better than it has any right to be.
