Final Stretch on SNES is one of those racing games that feels simple at first—just pick a car, hit the gas, and try not to spin out—but man, those tracks get sneaky. The pixel art holds up surprisingly well, with little details like skid marks on sharp turns and crowds waving flags in the background. I remember thinking the first course was easy... until I hit that hairpin turn and ate dirt.

What I love is how each car actually handles differently—some slide too much, others grip like glue, and figuring out which one works for you is half the fun. The music’s got that classic SNES synth energy, the kind that gets stuck in your head after a few races. It’s not the deepest racer out there, but it’s got that addictive "one more try" vibe when you’re shaving seconds off your best lap. Perfect for when you just wanna zone out and burn rubber.
