Super Sprint Nintendo
A top-down racing game made for both arcades and home consoles. It is one of the first games to allow the player to upgrade their vehicle.
Super Sprint is a racing game with a top down perspective. The game has only 8 circuits, but cycles through them repeatedly, for a total of 85 races. Each cycle gets progressively more difficult by the addition of new obstacles, such as oil slicks and tornadoes. Wrenches could be obtained during races, which could then be used to upgrade the player's car in-between races. Upgrading the car allowed a certain degree of customization, since the car's traction, speed, and acceleration were upgrading independently.
In arcades, the game could be played by up to three human players. The arcade version was controlled with a steering wheel and foot pedal.
