Micro Machines is a top-down miniature racing game developed by Codemasters and released for the SNES in 1994. Based on the popular line of toy vehicles, the game shrinks the action down to a micro scale, putting you behind the wheel of tiny sports cars, powerboats, helicopters, and 4x4s. Instead of traditional tracks, you’ll race across oversized, everyday environments like breakfast tables, pool tables, work desks, and sandboxes while dodging household hazards.
How to Play
In the single-player challenge, your objective is to qualify for the next race by finishing in the top two, gradually eliminating CPU rivals. In head-to-head modes, the goal is to drive fast enough to push your opponent off the edge of the screen, scoring a point each time.
- D-Pad (Arrow Keys): Steer left and right
- B / A Buttons (Z / X): Accelerate
- Y Button (A): Brake / Reverse
- Start (Enter): Pause
Tips
- Memorize the courses: Household items like pencils, Cheerios, and playing cards define the track limits. Since the camera stays tight on your vehicle, learning the layouts is essential to react to turns in time.
- Adapt to the surface: Each vehicle and terrain combination handles differently. Powerboats drift heavily in the water, while off-road buggies have different grip levels on sand versus hardwood. Adjust your turning points accordingly.
