Title: Street Racer Released: Unreleased Genre: Racer Developer: Vivid Image/Ubi Soft Publisher: None % Complete: Unknown

Go-cart racing games existed long before the debut of the Super Nintendo, but Mario Kart set the standard for all cart racers to come. Nintendo's classic mix of cute graphics, finely tuned control, and flat-out fun gameplay has led to many imitators, but no equals... even the Nintendo 64 sequel fell short. Ubi Soft's Street Racer was one of the better Mario Kart clones for the Super Nintendo and Genesis, and a 32x port was planned. The SNES version of Street Racer was the better of the two 16-bit games, sporting brighter colors, Mode 7 graphical effects, and smoother scaling and rotation. The 32x port was to take the finer aspects of the SNES game and enhance them with 32x power. Regrettably, Street Racer was canceled, leaving the 32x library devoid of a good Mario Kart clone (BC Racers is a BAD clone.)

A highly entertaining Street Racer update boasting 3-D polygonal tracks later appeared for the Playstation and import Saturn. The similarities between the update and the canceled 32x game are unknown.
