![]() In Versus you can compete with three others locally or online. The courses are circular in nature and kind of reminds me of laps on a race track. Whoever can do this three times will win the race. The first time you do this, a red border will surround the screen and become smaller and smaller as you race. To win the game, what you have to do is run fast enough around the levels that you scroll the other players off screen. Press the R trigger button to give yourself a boost of speed, but this will deplete that meter, so use it wisely. There are also blue strips that when you run across them, you can fill up a meter. ![]() ![]() But even after a few rounds, I was able to figure out the controls pretty well.Īs you run around, you will pick up blue crystals that give you a weapon you can use against the other racers, like freeze rays, homing missiles, boulders, and many more. Only problem is the graphics are teeny tiny, and sometimes things are hard to make out on handheld mode. The first level has tutorial messages near obstacles to tell you how to pass them, too. It sounds complicated, but the play control is very solid and responsive. Avoid crates on the ground, low ceilings, and spikes, which can all slow you down. You can double jump, use a grappling hook to swing around faster and round corners better, wall jump, and slide under obstacles. You have all sorts of moves at your disposal to best the other runners. In the game you’ll play as a super hero, or at least someone in a costume at any rate. It also kind of reminds me of Runbow, so if you liked that one, you’ll definitely want to check out this review and the game itself. Anyway, SpeedRunners is a 2-D platformer racing game where you choose a super hero character and race against others in lap-based levels. But it was recently released on Switch, so I finally hopped on board. Just one of those games that fell through the cracks for me I guess. The game has been out for a while on nearly every platform, but for some reason I haven’t reviewed it yet. That’s what I first thought of when booting up SpeedRunners. Do you remember the intro to Disney-Pixar’s The Incredibles? It was done in silhouettes and solid colors with a bravado brass heroic soundtrack.
