Getting to Know Mario Andretti Racing

Mario Andretti Racing is a driving game that hit the Sega Genesis in the mid-1990s. It was released in both North America and Europe, carrying the endorsement of the famous race car driver. The developer and publisher are not widely documented in reliable sources, but the game stands as one of the few Genesis titles to feature a real-world racing personality. On the track, you take control of a vehicle and compete in a series of races. The game offers multiple modes, such as a championship season and single races. You steer with the D-Pad, accelerate with a button, and try to cross the finish line ahead of the pack. The perspective is a typical behind-the-car view common to console racers of the era. Today, Mario Andretti Racing is a niche title. It doesn't have the lasting fame of Road Rash or OutRun, but it offers competent arcade-style racing with the gimmick of a real racing legend. If you enjoy 16-bit driving games and want to try something off the beaten path, this one is worth a few laps.
