I don't remember why I originally bothered to read this manual 25 years ago, but I ended up reading it to enjoy the jokes and humorous writing it contained.

I had to check and yes it is indeed a British game. The humor was a dead giveaway. In fact, this game was DMA Design aka Rockstar North, of Lemmings and Shadow of the Beast fame.

One of my favourites from SNES! Really fond memories playing it with my sister.

I actually miss this. I know there are still out there games with silly concepts, but think about this: unicycles racing against each other and that's about it. lol

Didn't it have a big blank page at the end that wasn't entirely blank? Pretty sure it has a joke (probably funnier to my adolescent mind than it is now) but I'm not entirely sure.

The tabletop was doing a headstand, right? Not something you'd want to do in a race but could be a great finisher on the stunt courses.

I don't remember. I want to play this again. I'd be shocked if my snes still works somehow.

Time to find an emulator I guess.

Wow this is a timely post. I was just thinking about how I used to play Uniracer with a friend who lived down the street from me in elementary school.

This was such a neat game
