Cannondale Cup is a mountain bike racing simulation released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994 by Radical Entertainment. Originally developed as Mountain Bike Rally and notable for its compatibility with the Life Fitness Exertainment System exercise bike, this version was rebranded with Cannondale licenses. Players choose from different characters and bikes to race across various dirt tracks, managing their stamina while dealing with obstacles and aggressive competitors.
How to Play
The objective is to finish first while maintaining your stamina and health. Since the game was designed to pair with an exercise bike peripheral, the mechanics revolve heavily around energy management. When playing in the browser, use the D-pad (Arrow keys) to steer, and the face buttons (mapped to Z, X, A, and S on your keyboard) to accelerate, jump, and punch opponents. Use Enter for Start and Shift for Select. Collect repair and energy items on the track to keep your bike intact and your stamina high.
Tips
- Conserve your stamina for steep climbs and final sprints; constantly pushing at max speed will drain your energy quickly.
- Punch opponents who get too close; knocking them down is a reliable strategy to secure your lead.
- Avoid crashes and obstacles, but if you do take damage, actively seek out repair items before your bike’s performance degrades.
