Game Description
Cruis’n World takes the outrageous arcade racing action of the Cruis’n franchise global, bringing players around the planet in a tour of high-speed thrills on the Nintendo 64. Instead of sticking to American highways like its predecessor, this sequel lets you race through exotic international locations—speeding past landmarks in Africa, Asia, Europe, and beyond. Every course bursts with color, creativity, and high-energy excitement that defined arcade racers of the late ’90s.
Developed by Midway, the game ramps up the fun with new vehicles, outrageous jumps, and stunts that push the limits of the N64 hardware. Courses are designed with sharp turns, wild shortcuts, and hazards that demand fast reflexes and daring maneuvers. From city skylines to volcanic terrain, each track delivers a spectacle of arcade action that rewards both aggressive driving and skillful cornering.
Released in 1998, Cruis’n World quickly became a favorite among fans of fast-paced racing games and remains one of the console’s most beloved arcade ports. Its combination of imaginative international settings, easy pick-up-and-play mechanics, and nostalgic appeal makes it a must-have for collectors. Alongside Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing, it represents the golden era of Nintendo 64 racing titles.
