Play Uniracers Online

Uniracers came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, published by Nintendo. It was developed by DMA Design, the same studio that would later create Grand Theft Auto. During a time when the SNES library was filled with platformers and RPGs, this game stood out simply because you raced as a unicycle.

You control a single-wheeled vehicle that has a surprising amount of personality, performing tricks to gain bursts of speed. The main goal is straightforward: beat the opponent unicycle to the finish line on a series of side-scrolling tracks. Your main tools are a set of acrobatic stunts; you launch into flips and spins off ramps to fill a boost meter. Timing is everything, as a poorly executed trick will slow you down instead. The tracks are fast and demand quick reflexes, with later stages introducing tight corridors and tricky jumps that punish mistakes. The feeling of nailing a perfect series of tricks and rocketing past your rival is a pure, uncomplicated thrill.
