About this game

Cruis'n Exotica is a racing game published by Midway and released on October 19, 2000 for Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Game Boy Color. It offers races against computer-controlled opponents or up to three other racers.

The game uses arcade-style mechanics, including turbos that accelerate cars and increase their maximum speed. Leaving the track sends the vehicle back onto the course. The selection of vehicles includes sports cars, trucks, minis, and police vehicles.

Courses are based on locations such as Alaska, India, and Korea before expanding into imaginative settings including Atlantis, the Amazon, and Mars.
