Racing games where the majority of racers are on foot
Turbo Toons
This is a bit of a technicality as it’s a game where player’s race through a side-scrolling platformer at the same time, but don’t face each other directly.
doesn’t every Track&Field from the 1990ies (with a running 100/200/400/1k mode) qualify for this?
and my brain wants to be tricked into listing some Jump’n’Runs here, which i won’t do/because they don’t fit, really.
Track and Field games came to mind to me too, but I decided not to include them because 1) there are too many and b) they tend to be boring and c) they tend to be just one or two events in a collection of other events, and I was trying to focus on games built entirely around racing/running
Would be happy to see notable examples, though!
Not sure what it’s called in every region but Konami did some terrible Boot Camp game where you play as a military recruit running obstacle courses. And if you were good enough at the running events, you got to die at war.
yeah my only thought was Mischief Makers, alas
Rayman M/Rayman Arena a weird multiplayer game spunoff from Rayman 2 and its engine of all things that has a whole extensive series of footraces
Metro Cross
Mystic Marathon
Crash n the Boyz Street Challenge
fuck i bet that’s a decent game
Popeye owns i’ll say it if no one else will
okay well. if it was 2005 and you were really hard-up for GBA multiplayer then. idk. you can play as Wimpy alright that’s worth something
Speaking of Popeye, I watched all three Popeye horror movies on Tubi this past Halloween.
They’re all really bad! But bad in different ways, at least.
