Racing / Indie / Card & Board Game / Action
A board game/racing game hybrid based on a miniature RC car toyline. It was developed and published by Konami exclusively for the Japanese Famicom. Racer Mini Yonku: Japan Cup ("Yonku" refers to four-wheel-drive vehicles) is a board game with racing sections in which the player constructs their own RC 4WD car and then races it against CPU opponents in various events, often taking terrain handling into account. It was based on the then-popular mini RC car toy fad in Japan. The title screen credits Tamiya, a Japanese toy manufacturer that focuses on model kits and RC vehicles, and their logo frequently appears in-game. The game was developed by Konami for the Famicom and was never released outside of Japan. The player and the CPU opponents take turns moving over a board and acquiring money and parts for their RC car. Money collected can also be used to purchase new parts. The players' vehicles then race automatically, with the one with the best upgrades usually coming out on top.

BS F-Zero Grand Prix is a remixed version of the original F-Zero released only in Japan for the Satellaview attachment of the Super Famicom. It was released in four parts from late-1996 to early-1997, and was a SoundLink title where an announcer provided commentary during gameplay. As the original game was only three cups, a fourth cup called Ace League was added. Each cup had the courses in a slightly different order, and a new course not found in the original game served as the fifth track (with Mute City I being reused once at the beginning of the final week).
