The game is played from an overview perspective -the camera is centered all times on your car-, and features two modes: a World Rally Championship, with a total of five stages that correspond to RealLife rallies celebrated in the World Rally Championship and allows you to choose between six cars, er, based on real life racing ones that differ on their acceleration, tires, handling, and endurance, and a Paris - The Cape, that ''attempts'' to imitate the real-world [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Paris-Cape_Town_Rally Paris-Cape Town Rally]], celebrated back in 1992. This one features three extra vehicles apart of the six available in the WRC mode.

!!Tropes:

*BlandNameProduct: the names of the cars in the Japanese version: "Lancian Deleta", "Toyot GT-Four", "Nissun GTI-R", "Citraen ZX", "Mitsuboshi", and "Parsche 911". The export version changed them for more original ones ("Blaster LX", "Land Crusher", "Warp ATV", "Turbo GT", "Thunderjet", and "OD 6000X" respectively).
*BonusStage: if you're able to end the five rallyes on the first place, you can play the Paris - Le Cape as a bonus stage.
*FeaturelessProtagonist: after a stage ends or it's ended after time has ran out your pilot appears as just a silhouette next to the portraits of the others with its position and time.
*FragileSpeedster: relatively, since in this game all vehicles reach the same top speed (240 kilometers per hour). The Offroad bike has the best acceleration and handling, but the worst endurance (and tires).
*HitboxDissonance: you can pass over other cars, having just your speed diminished. It's especially funny if you play with the camion given its large size.
*JackOfAllTrades: the Sand buggy, that has the four stats at the same level.
*MightyGlacier: the Camion, even if it's a glaciar InNameOnly, as its top speed is the same of the other vehicles. Highest endurance and tires, but worst acceleration and handbrake -it also has a big sprite that dwarfs the ones of all other vehicles-.
*NintendoHard: even if graphics and gameplay are quite simplistic, if you screw up things just once from the second stage onwards, you can say goodbye to ending the race. Not to mention that ending on the first place can be ''very'' difficult.
*NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: the pilots you're competing with (in theory at least, since their cars are not identified) are based on real-life ones, in both name and portrait ("C. Saint"- Carlos Sainz, "D'Arend" - Didier Auriol, "J. Kincaid" - J. Kankunnen, etc.).
*SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: as much justified as it can be, the Paris - Le Cape stage does not certainly look at all like a 14,000 kilometers-long race that crosses southern Europe and all the African continent
*ShoutOut: the "OD-6000X" name is probably an allusion to the "SUX 6000" car of [[Film/RoboCop1987 RoboCop (the 1987 movie)]] fame.
*StuffBlowingUp: occasionally, a computer-controlled car will collide with either the fences that mark the racetrack or another car and will blow up
*EveryCarIsAPinto: see above trope.
*TimedMission: each stage has a time limit to end it. If you cannot, GameOver.
