MICRO MACHINES (SUPER NINTENDO SNES)

Micro Machines is a racing video game developed by Codemasters and originally published by Camerica for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1991. Based on Galoob's Micro Machines toys, players race in miniaturized toy vehicles in various environments. The game is the first installment in the Micro Machines series of video games.

Micro Machines was developed because Galoob wanted Codemasters to develop a game based on their toy brand, although Galoob and Codemasters ran into legal issues with Nintendo as the game was unlicensed. Micro Machines was ported to multiple systems and received remakes for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube in 2002. Reception of Micro Machines was positive, with critics praising the originality and two-player mode, although some had criticized the sprites on some versions. A sequel, Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament, was released in 1994, and the series was revived in 2016 with the release of a title for iOS and Android.
