Micro Machines

Does she come from another planet? Nobody knows, but the outfit sure is convincing. Set your phasers to "stunning" and buckle in!

With the heart of a tiger and a passion for teacakes, Aunt Betty has no fear and is eager to prove it. She is feisty, bold and slightly absent-minded. A true eccentric, but a formidable racer.

Too many years away from civilization have taken their toll on this cantankerous fellow. He screams, he shouts, he laughs and he cries - but he should really learn how to hold onto his false teeth. Hillbilly hilarity ensues!

A veteran, boisterous city cop, he has seen it all. So don't even think about trying to bother him or you're going to eat his badge! "Make my day!"

He is an aggressive and hard-bitten safari expert. Fresh from the outback, he shouts commands at anything that will listen to him. He'll also hunt you down just for fun!

Still stuck in the '80s, his behavior is greasy and his fashion choices embarrassing. Take your hair gel, your fast cars, and that designer stubble and leave, Mike, now!

The dumb but endearing Frank is a product of man's mastery over nature... almost. Slow of wit and silent of tongue, this grunting monstrosity has an uncanny knack for piloting just about any kind of machine you can find.

By day he works behind the local deli counter, taking numbers and serving up sandwiches - but don't be fooled! By night he's a hero from outer space, Danger Ranger, champion of humankind and savior of the future... or so he thinks.

Easiest to drive, the Standard Car has good all-around acceleration, top speed, braking and cornering characteristics.

The Aquatic Vehicle accelerates quickly and jumps like a Motorbike. Take turns nice and wide, but be prepared to lose speed along the way.

The biggest machine of 'em all. Get ready to drive a real beast! The Off-Road Vehicle takes time to hit top speed, but once it's rolling, there's no stopping it. Take those turns as tight as you like, no problem, and don't worry about losing traction. In this four-wheel-drive beauty, there's no need to brake - it corners so well you'll never have to slow down!

The Motorbike has the fastest acceleration and its top speed is second only to the Sports Car. It is a tricky vehicle to control when braking.

The Sports Car is much quicker than the Standard Car and has the highest top speed. Cornering requires precision as it can lose momentum in turns.

An "Up and Over" style missile, the Bazooka travels in an arc until it collides with either a vehicle or a piece of scenery.

This is a front-firing missile that locks on to an opponent's vehicle and attempts to track it down. Some nifty driving is required to avoid one of these!

This weapon turns your vehicle into a drivable ball of fire - your opponents had better watch out!

Using this weapon causes electricity to arc from your vehicle - anyone foolish enough to get too close will find his/her machine pushed out of the way.

A cloud of liquid nitrogen is dumped from the back of your vehicle; woe to any player who drives through it - his/her vehicle will freeze solid, making steering rather difficult.

This adds a powerful electromagnet on an extending arm to the front of your vehicle. Activating it causes the arm to extend and grab any vehicle in front of you, flinging it back - be careful with your aim though!

Would you like an enormous frying pan attached to your car so you can go through the level destroying any opponent who stands in your way? If you like the sound of this, then pick up this weapon!

This weapon is available in Micro GP mode only. Activating it causes time to freeze for several seconds - everything except your vehicle will be frozen. This should give you a chance to make up some valuable seconds!

Pick up this weapon to attach a boxing glove on a spring to the front of your vehicle. Press the R2 button to make the boxing glove shoot out in front of your vehicle, scattering any other vehicles that get in the way.

Pick up this weapon to attach a flamethrower to the back of your vehicle. Activating it causes a stream of flame to shoot out, affecting anyone unlucky enough to be stuck behind you.

This arms you with a mine which, when dropped, will sit on the track until some unfortunate driver crashes into it.... then kaboom!

Gives your vehicle a brief, temporary speed increase.

Renders the holder's vehicle temporarily resistant to damage or attack.
