Super Monaco GP (スーパーモナコGP) is a 1989 arcade racing game by Sega. It is the sequel to Monaco GP, but rather than being a top-down racer it has a first person view.
The player drives a formula one car around a track inspired by the Monaco Grand Prix, and many of the car drivers and manufacturers are based on formula one drivers who were active in the late 1980s. The exception is the "Sega SG1000 V8" engine, which is named after the Sega SG-1000 video game console.
Sega was sued by Philip Morris due to the unauthorised Marlboro cigarette advertisements in the game. This was also criticised as an attempt to market cigarettes to children, as many arcade users at the time were under age. Other in-game advertisments advertise Sega's earlier arcade game Flicky.
Super Monaco CP was ported to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive and ZX Spectrum. The Mega Drive version was highly received and offered an extra "World Championship Mode", featuring tracks from the 1989 Formula One season. This version of the game has since been included in numerous compilations.
Super Monaco GP was followed by Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II which built upon the previous game.
