  • This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
    TAS originally published on 2015-05-15
    Rad is a slang term, short for radical. This movie shows what radical sports is when applied to car driving on NES.
    Curiously, the game Rad Racer was made by Square, which is probably best known for its Final Fantasy game series. Quite a different game, this here...
    If you decide to play this game, we recommend the Power Glove. It's so bad. ( • I love the power glove... )

    Downloadable encodes have the author's commentary as soft subtitles.

    Watch a resync ( github.com/aly... ) of this run being played back on a real console ( • TAS - Rad Racer by Fat... ).

    Bouncing off other cars is such a crazy technique to stay at max speed through corners its insane to watch this

    I remember playing this as a kid with my friends. There really was not a bigger thrill than to be racing against the clock, getting smashed up, time running out... then you blast by the flags and get more time. Lots of tense moments

    This game reminds me so much of Out Run on the SEGA Master System! That one also involved driving a red Ferrari.

    Roads were so much flatter, straighter and more unidirectional in the 1980s. Take me back to that simpler time.

    Can you actually beat this game while staying on the road. I remember playing it as a kid, but never got past the second level.

    • @SeppelSquirrel
      @SeppelSquirrel 4 года назад +1

      My best playthrough as a kid was making it to level 5. Once we learned about the level skip, I beat 6 and 7, but never managed to finish 5 or 8.
      On 8 you have only 13 spare seconds per checkpoint if you're going top speed, which is basically 1 free crash per segment. I should replay this sometime.

    Tip for real life driving: if you are having trouble getting around a turn, just sideswipe the car next to you continuously. That should help. 😂

      There's a piano piece you can play in Final Fantasy III that seems like it might have the same chord progression as the ending, but they're not really the same tune.
