Cannondale Cup , released in 1994 , is a racing game where you play as one of eight different racers competing on eight different bicycle race courses. The game splits these courses into stages, with each stage requiring completion of a set number of laps or attainment of a certain score to progress.
As you compete, you can choose from five different mountain bikes, each rated in categories such as turning, speed, and acceleration. During the race, players can also punch opposing cyclists and jump ramps to gain an advantage. Your final position at the end of the race determines your score, with higher positions earning more points.
Cannondale Cup was re-released as part of Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally / Speed Racer, featuring the same gameplay with minor graphical changes.
