Get ready for a unique racing experience with Micro Machines , a game that brings excitement and challenge to your living room. The story revolves around racing miniature models of various vehicles, such as sports cars, 4x4s, tanks, and more, on different terrains like the desktop, sandpit, snooker table, and others.
Gameplay is all about competing against up to three opponents in a series of races across 21 tracks. The twist lies in the multiplayer mode, where you start with four points each, and the leader earns more points as they pull ahead. As you progress through the levels, the game introduces new challenges like time-trial races, which can earn you extra lives if you win without using a continue. The real innovation of Micro Machines lies in its multiplayer modes, including Head to Head and sliding point systems, making it a fun and engaging experience for players.

How to Play
SET UP
1. Set up your Game Boy System as described in the Game Boy Instruction Manual.
2. Make sure the power switch is OFF before inserting the game pak into the Game Boy unit.
3. Turn the power switch ON.
4. The Title Screen will appear.
GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNIN'!
Ready to burn rubber? Race eight different Micro Machines on 28 different tracks across eight environments. Choose from 11 challenging competitors each with his or her own skill level.
In Micro Machines Challenge (1-Player game), if you keep winning you will race against each character on increasingly difficult tracks. Eliminate your competition until you are the Micro Machines Champion.
Race against a friend or a group of friends, one at a time in Head-to-Head play (2-Player game). In this true head-to-head action, there are only 2 cars on the track at a time and the race is over 3 laps of the course.
You can even link 2, 3 or 4 Game Boys for multi-player racing. Rev up your engine and get started!
GETTING STARTED
Press the START button to begin.
•
If you are using one Game Boy, press the CONTROL PAD LEFT or RIGHT to choose 1 or 2-Player.
•
If you have two Game Boys connected, you will automatically go into a 2-Player Head-to-Head game.
•
If you have three or four Game Boys connected, you will automatically go into a special mode where you will race simultaneously against the other players.
MICRO MACHINES CHALLENGE
In the Micro Machines Challenge, you'll race each Micro Machine in its own environment. With each win, you'll build up the collection of Micro Machines in your display case.
During the race, the car order is shown at the top left corner of the screen as a column of dots representing the cars. Each race lasts for 3 laps.
If you receive first or second place, you qualify for the next level and race on a different track with a different vehicle. If you get third or fourth place, you lose a chance and have to repeat the same track again. You start with three chances and if you lose them, the game's over!
CHOOSING A CHARACTER
After selecting the Micro Machines Challenge, select your character. Press LEFT and RIGHT on the CONTROL PAD to move through the list of characters, then press BUTTON A to select. All the characters have different abilities when they are your opponents, but choosing one over the other will not affect your driving.
Press START to continue.
HEAD-TO-HEAD CHALLENGE
CHOOSING A CHARACTER
After selecting Head-to-Head, choose your character by pressing LEFT or RIGHT on the CONTROL PAD to move through list of characters.
Press the BUTTON A to make your selection, then press START to continue.
HOW TO WIN THE HEAD-TO-HEAD CHALLENGE
At the start of each game, 8 colored lights are shown in the top left screen. Each player has 4 lights that are the same color as their Micro Machine.
Whenever a player gets a whole screen's length ahead, the player wins a bonus. The loser's lights will change to the color of the winner's lights.
When a player has all 8 lights showing their color, they have won the race. If neither player has all 8 lights showing their color at the end of 3 laps, the player with the most lights in their color wins the race.
At the end of the game, if both player's lights are equal, the game becomes a sudden death play-off and the next player to win a bonus light wins the game.
2 PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS HEAD-TO-HEAD CHALLENGE
A special option in Micro Machines enables 2-players to play on one Game Boy. From the 2-Player Menu, choose the 2-Player Simultaneous option.
First, both players must select their character. Player 1 chooses first.
Now select whether you wish to play Single Race or Tournament.
Handicapping and scoring works the same way as in the 1 and 2-Player games. The only difference is how the player controls work.
HANDICAPPING
If one of you is more experienced than the other, choosing Annie, Mike or Walter will give the other player a better chance.
•
Annie's handicap is slight
•
Mike's is large
•
Walter's is the worst
AGE:
•
ANNIE
•
STYLE: EXPERIENCED
•
BEST COURSE: FARRIORS
•
RATING: LOF
SCORES
The scores and ratings on the Results screen are affected by the results of the Single race game as well as the results of the Tournament. You can make up competitions for more than 2-Players, providing each player sticks to a particular character and you play a series of single race 2-Player games. A good way to do this is to have a group of people playing a "winner-plays-all" series of races, with the newcomer choosing which course to race.
