Race 'n Robots is a racing game in which the players race robots against competitors on a series of tracks that feature power-ups and obstacles. Similarly to the show of the same name, the story of Race 'n Robots sees the player race the robot Cubix and his friends against the antagonist Dr. K and his robot Kolossal, who are bent on taking over the world.[1]
Minor differences in gameplay exist between versions of Race 'n Robots. The PlayStation version of the game contains a Story Mode that guides players through a series of increasingly difficult tracks, in which players can unlock new tracks and use points earned from winning a race to purchase upgrades for their robot. The game also contains a Versus Mode for instant play for one to four players.[2] The Game Boy Color version of the game contains similar features at a smaller scale, with a password feature to save games after completing a level and unlockable secret tracks.[3]
