Stunt Race FX

JP Wild Trax

Stunt Race FX is a 3D circuit racing game featuring cartoon cars. Each car has different handling, top speed and damage statistics. If a car's damage meter is reduced to zero then you forfeit the race and lose one of your lives.

Game Modes

  • Test Run

    A training track where you can get used to the handling of the car. This mode is replaced by Free Trax after clearing Speed Trax mode.

  • Speed Trax

    Choose between two cups, each with four racing circuits and a bonus track. Clear the laps within the time limit. You get different scores for the position you place, and these are tallied to determine the winner of the cup. In the bonus tracks you play the Trailer, and can earn extra lives.

  • Stunt Trax

    Race through stunt courses, collecting all the stars aiming for a perfect score.

  • Battle Trax

    A one-on-one race that can be played against a computer or human opponent. There are four exclusive tracks to this mode.

  • Free Trax

    Race alone on any of the tracks you have cleared in Speed Trax mode and try to beat your best times.

The Vehicles

  • Coupe

    A small, yellow car with a middling top speed and low grip on the road. In Japan, Coupe is referred to as a female.

  • F-Type

    A formula-one car with a high top speed and good handling. F-Type has the weakest resistance to damage of all the cars.

  • 4WD

    A monster truck with low top speed, but good off-road abilities and superior damage resistance.

  • 2WD

    A motorcycle you can unlock in Free Trax by clearing Novice cup in Speed Trax, or for all modes by clearing Master cup. It has a top speed as high as F-Type, and good damage resistance, but is difficult to control, especially around corners.

  • Trailer

    Used exclusively in the Bonus Mode of Speed Trax, the trailer is a truck that is difficult to control but impossible to damage.

On certain tracks you can see large billboards showing faces of some of Nintendo's big stars, Mario, Kirby and Fox McCloud from Star Fox.

A triple-billboard with all three can be seen on the test track.

Arwing Bonus

On the Night Cruise course there are several Star Fox banners above the wall lining the course. Hit the walls under the first three to knock them down, then turn towards the tunnel. An Arwing will fly down above you and drop a power-up.

Star Fox was the first Super FX game, and Stunt Race FX the second. Both were jointly developed by Nintendo and Argonaut.
