Kawasaki Superbike Challenge, known as Kawasaki Superbikes in Europe, is a motorbike racing game for the Sega Game Gear.

Gameplay

The Game Gear version of Kawasaki Superbike Challenge opts for a third-person approach similar to Hang-On. Tracks are "flat" for the most part, with jerky dips in the road occuring at rare points in the game which do not fundementally affect the bike's performance. Additions over Hang-On include rain which can affect handling.

History

Development

The game is thought to have started development as a port of Road Rash II. An unused string in the game data mentions Road Rash II by name and attributes the conversion to Teque London.^[4]
