Stunt Race FX (ワイルドトラックス - Wild Trax in Japan) is a cartoon style 3D racing video game produced and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo console system. It was the company's second game to use the 3D-centric Super FX chip. The game, co-developed with Argonaut, was known as Wild Trax in Japan.Despite the use of the Super FX chip, this game failed to receive attention in the same way as Star Fox did.

[edit] Trivia

Stunt Race FX's use of eyes on the vehicles was a late-in-development addition, to give character to otherwise personality-free cars.
Around the time Stunt Race FX was released in the United States, Nintendo teamed up with Kellogg's and Mattel to give away a promotional, Hot Wheels brand, F-Type race car to people who bought a box of Apple Jacks, cut out the ticket from it, signed and mailed it to Nintendo of America.
Stunt Race FX was scored by Shinobu Amayake.
The Stunt Race FX theme had clips used very often in Animal Crossing's Aircheck version of Rockin' K.K.
Some bill boards very briefly appear on courses with the faces of Mario, Fox McCloud, and Kirby.
