TAS Rad Racer 2 NES in 19:47 by TheSwordUser

[cabanaboi29]

whats the point of this game? i hate that cheeze music - during the New York cruise - drove me insane

[DragonUltraMaster]

OMG, all that crazyness effort and all you get is a shitty ending... I was expecting something like alot more, like saying "WOW; you did beat this impossible game? sucha nerd you are, now go and rest you brain"

Yeah, serously :P

[ShadowMokujin]

0 to 255 in 1 frame lol

[ssjcmc82]

It's hard to believe Square actually made this game..and yet I believe the Ridge Racer series were started years later after this although Namco took the series.

[MaxPayne92]

the maximum speed is 255mph because that's the maximum number the NES could process. Ahh, good old times

[deepcaptor]

Great Game!

[Ryan18181]

Has this got anything to do with ridge racer? it would be so cool if ridge racer was spawned because of this game!

[coko27]

good old memories!! loved this game!

[kmayo05]

Gum Ball Crash MY song in this game baby!!

[TdrdenCO11]

The game is completely responsible for my love for 80s-ish electro

[TiggaBob]

this car is faster than the bugatti veyron. awesome.

[SereneNightmare7734]

total time to beat rad racer 2 SHOULD be 21:31, but stage 1 allows 2 extra seconds to complete (2:38 (2:40 in game), 2:30, 2:32, 2:38, 2:48, 3:00, 2:45, and 2:40 respectively). Bang into cars on the hard turns --it will help you hang on to those turns. You can't do that in rad racer 1, as you will most likely be pushed hard onto the shoulder.

[Dragonsamuari]

there's no engine sound as you race?

[TheSwordUser]

Engine sound can be heard when you select no music during the race. I choose it for stage 3 and 6.

[eqwwac]

@Dragonsamuari If you select "Sing Yourself"... I didn't test but probably there is a sound of engine.

[delorianstar]

the music on the nyc track is awesome...

[NFS4LFE]

I used to play this at my cousin's all the time! But now his NES' busted... :(

[dogalways]

then get fc turbo to play it

[NFS4LFE]

It's not the same, bra.

[SamuraiClinton]

I used to play this game when I was a kid!!!

That chiptune from the game is so RAD (why the game is called RAD RACER). It brings back fond memories!!!

NO OTHER SONG IS LIKE IT!!!

[kinmanyuen]

One thing I really hate the nes for... why didn't they implement multilayer perspective background in nes games?

[Playstation72]

Wonder if he played with the power glove. That thing's so bad.

[TheSwordUser]

I can't do it with the emulator...besides, I never had the Power Glove.

[Playstation72]

I was being sarcastic. The power glove sucks, and you probably would've sucked usin it. It also says you played it with an emulator in the description.

[calviazteca]

awesome videoooooooooooooooo

[ender003]

Awesome.

[MyFavoriteNinja]

level 2 is the only reason I like the color green. =) I can't speed run this game too... it's addictive once you get the hang of it.

[ultimajoe777]

i used the exact same music. gum ball crash in the beach-like levels and coast to coast in the city levels. it just matches and im guessing alot of peeps who play this game agree. i did, however, not know about that power bar's true purpose so thats new to me (unless it only did like that due to a game genie or hack then that wud be y lol)

[CAZPFITL]

bravooooooooo

[Richeggmaster]

I'll never forget the feeling when I reached the gas flags just when I thought that I had already lost

[dsafian]

agreed. It was a great feeling.

[gohan40129]

I loved the first rad racer. This one doesn't have as good sound effects and doesn't seem as good but may be good(never played second one). THe first game was sick with it. Amazing

[patconnects]

im only a teenager now and i remember playin this when i was like 5 or 6

fun stuff

[SegaUranus]

A complete OutRun ripoff, but it's still great!

[Floyd5642]

I like how the speed is a maximum value of FF. There are a lot of games for the NES that use that, including the first Legend of Zelda game.

[KoolBearTeddy]

Rad Racer Series on N.E.S.

Classic!

[kinmanyuen]

I love the nightscenes... looks great and has multilayer background moving independantly.. not often seen on a nes.

[kmayo05]

Wow the memories!!!

[poweredbairice]

forget gran turismo, this is the best racing sim ever

[BUMBASTIUM]

man i miss them 80's

[Mookszz]

Dont dont even know one person that had this game or even played it when i was a kid. I can see why lol

Regardless good post.

Nes 4ever

[thalegend1983]

brings back so many memories. i use to play this game non stop and still remember the soundtrack

[TheUltimateGamer07]

Do you know Nobuo Uematsu wrote these tunes?

[ChaotistRazor]

I didn't, but that explains why they're so good. I love "Coast to Coast".

[RanmaamnaR]

i really need coast to coast for my driving cd

[gjhoward]

I loved the soundtrack. I could listen to "Gumball Crash" for hours.

[tmoney519]

Same here, I always got beat up by them cars that come real fast and I'd get all pissed and stuff haha.

[BigMac8000]

man I can't believe how easy he makes this look. I got wailed on trying to beat this.

[salvage126]

I heard that game sucked; The ending sucked even more!

[alimite]

my first race video game

[AjayRaz]

Same here

[NAPREDATOR]

Lol you had the end of the game at the very start of the video

[othecat]

awesome

[TheUltimateGamer07]

Boy, does this game take me back to the good old days. And to think, the company that made this game would go on to produce the Final Fantasy franchise.

[darealseddybear]

dang i could nvr get past level3 n gave up.. lol plus nintendo n its games.. blow n spit in em helps 2 lol

[Zman1306]

I used to play this game when I was at least 3. I love the music especially the 1st one that played. This game maybe old but it still rocks.
