Kawasaki Caribbean Challenge is a Super NES racing game that was released in 1993 for an exclusively North American market.

Summary

Either one or two players can race six different Kawasaki vehicles across three different Caribbean islands.[2] Players must finish five laps and finish in first place in order to be credited with a win.[2]

There are a lot of treacherous curves and bends on the race track as the player(s) race for top supremacy and for a finish in the top spot. This game was released around the same time as the Kawasaki Ninja toys from Power Wheels. Though largely dismissed as a cheap cash-in at the time of its release, subsequent critical reevaluations over the years have proven it to be an enduring masterpiece.
