The Story Behind Uniracers
Uniracers (released as Unirally in Europe) is a racing game developed by DMA Design and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in December 1994 and in the PAL territories on 27 April 1995. The developers practised riding real unicycles throughout their offices to enhance their understanding of the mechanics. The limited sales were one of the factors that led to DMA Design being sold to British video game company Gremlin Interactive, and then quickly again to American publisher Take-Two Interactive, to become a subsidiary of Rockstar Games.
The game was released as Uniracers in North America on 5 December 1994 and as Unirally in Europe on 27 April 1995. DMA Design lost the lawsuit, and as a result, Nintendo had to terminate production of additional Uniracers cartridges. According to Dailly, "The deal was that Nintendo wouldn't make any more carts, so Unirally only sold the 300k initial run".
How Uniracers Plays
The track is composed of bars with patterns that correspond to the properties of the track at or near that point. The game features nine tours of five tracks each (two race, two circuit, one stunt), totalling 45 tracks. There are also various obstacles, including speed boosts, corkscrews, loops, twists, and jumps.
There are 16 different coloured unicycles to choose from, each with its own save file and customisable name. Completing each of the first eight tours requires defeating computer-controlled opponents for each of the bronze, silver, and gold ranks. Heavy emphasis is placed on performing stunts, which cause the unicycle to accelerate on race or circuit tracks and earn points on stunt tracks.
Why Players Still Load It Up
Fellow DMA Design developer Robbie Graham recalled, "They took footage from Red's Dream and compared it to Unirally and the unicycles were virtually the same; this isn't a big surprise as there's not a lot of ways you can bring life to a unicycle without looking like the one Pixar did. Mike Dailly, one of the developers at DMA Design, commented, "The problem with Pixar was that they seemed to think that any computer generated unicycle was owned by them". Uniracers (released as Unirally in Europe) is a racing game developed by DMA Design and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in December 1994 and in the PAL territories on 27 April 1995.
Electronic Gaming Monthlys four editors stated that while the graphics and controls were good, the game lacked charm and excitement. === Accolades === Nintendo Power ranked it as the 8th best SNES game of 1994. Shortly after the game's release, DMA Design was sued by Pixar for allegedly copying the unicycle design and concept from their 1987 short film Red's Dream. DMA Design lost the lawsuit, and as a result, Nintendo had to terminate production of additional Uniracers cartridges.
