Speed racer is an arcade type game that resemblances the Sega Saturn's Daytona. The first track is identical, unless the lack of a pit lane the Sonic sculpture in a wall and the differet sponsor banners. The major difference between the two games is the performance of the car and the fact that the player can use all the gadgets of the anime Mach 5. The gadgets can be used to "shunt" other cars (even with the Cutter, the cars only bounce and there is no damage in the game), take shotcuts (by cutting trees and passing under lakes), etc. The controls are simple and the player swicthes over the gadgets and the camera wiews. The player can choose the length of the race in the menu, along basic sound options.
In the options menu the user can watch a video that explains all the functionalities of the gadgets on the mach 5.
The opening movie is the same of the anime carrying the japanese version song. The game has several soundtracks which can be listened in the options menu, being this the game's strong point.
