TRIVIA

Scud Race Plus was released in September 1997.

In addition to featuring the regular Scud Race, there is also a new 'Super-Beginner Mode'. The level is set in and around an giant-scale house, replete with gigantic furniture, reminiscent of 'Toy Story'.

In this mode, 4 new 'vehicles' exclusive to this mode are available : a bus, an A825-23H tank, a cat (capable of speeds up to 271km/h) and a rocket car.

When using the tank, it's possible to fire at competitors.

The AM2 team members' faces can be seen on the windows of a bus in the 'Super-Beginner Mode' track.

Because of the offbeat nature of the game, the game was never released outside Japan. It is possible, though, to switch the Country code to 'USA'.
