👓 Lonster's Review:
Super Sprint is simple, chaotic fun. Those tiny cars pack a big punch, and there’s nothing more satisfying than sliding through a turn while your buddies crash into a tornado.

Super Sprint helped define multiplayer arcade racing. Its fast gameplay and pick-up-and-play format influenced countless future racers, from Micro Machines to modern indie throwbacks.
✨ Cultural Impact:
This was a staple of '80s arcades, and anyone who played remembers the feeling of cranking that wheel. It showed racers didn’t need realism — just fun.
💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
This is the kind of game where the controls are half the fun. Every track feels like a mini battle, and the replay value is off the charts. Pure multiplayer mayhem.
