Monster Race on Game Boy is this weird little racing gem where you pick a monster—like a fire-breathing lizard or a goofy cyclops—and just go nuts on these wild, twisty tracks. At first, I thought it was just another racer, but the way each monster handles differently actually matters. That cyclops? Total tank, plows through obstacles. The lizard? Faster but slides around corners like it’s on ice.

The tracks are full of shortcuts and hazards, and half the fun is figuring out which monster works best where. There’s this one desert level with quicksand pits that still trips me up. And yeah, it’s got that classic Game Boy vibe—chunky pixels, catchy beep-boop music—but it holds up way better than it should. If you dig retro racers with personality, this one’s a blast.
