Super Cars is a top-view racing game with a style reminiscent of Super Sprint , from the same company that later developed the Lotus Challenge Series .
The game features 9 tracks at each of the 4 difficulty levels, which can be raced in any order. Winning races earns money, which can be spent on upgrades such as handling and power boosts, as well as forward-shooting missiles. To progress, you must finish in the top 3 of each race. Initially, there are 4 computer opponents, but more are added as you progress through the game.
Throughout the game, you can upgrade your car via the shop section. You're given an initial price, and a number of options to interact with the salesman. By choosing the right combination of dialogue, you can negotiate a lower price for your upgrades.
