Crazy Taxi

The gameplay involves reckless maneuvers while a timer quickly runs down. It can be replenished by picking up customers. Players can disregard all traffic rules and customers give extra tips for speedy and dangerous driving, but these can only be cashed when the customer arrives at their destination in time. By the same token, the reward at the end of a ride is based on the amount of time left, as each customer also has a personal timer.

There are different modes to play, including Arcade mode where specific goals need to be met on closed-down courses, and Crazy Box where specific goals need to be met. In regular modes, it's possible to disregard the usual timer and play for a fixed amount of minutes. The player is rewarded with a license at the end of the race, either D, C, B, or A, with S for outstanding performance.
