'''''Easy Racer''''' is a game released in 1996 for the [[Satellaview]] add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]. It was made available to download during a special broadcast of the "Game Tora no Ōana Special" program, consisting of games developed by students at the HAL College of Technology & Design using the [[nwiki:Game Processor|Game Processor]].<ref>{{cite|author=LuigiBlood|url=luigiblood.neocities.org/gameprocessor|title=GPC Documentation Page|publisher=neocities.org|accessdate=September 1, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20231105030715/https://luigiblood.neocities.org/gameprocessor}}</ref> As the title suggests, it is a simple racing game featuring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as playable characters. It is somewhat similar to ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'', but it has much less content as well as much smaller courses.

==Gameplay==
''Easy Racer'' is a top-down single-player and multiplayer racing game in which players control Mario and Luigi in red and green open-wheel cars. Mario is controlled by Player 1, while Luigi is controlled by either the computer or Player 2 depending on the mode. The player is given two lives and has to complete ten laps around four courses by pressing {{button|snes|A}} to accelerate, {{button|snes|B}} to brake, and {{button|snes|Pad}} to steer. If the player loses to the opponent, they lose a life and the race restarts. At any moment during a race, the player can press a button to skip to the next one with no repercussions.

==Racecourses==
The game has four short racecourses with ten laps each. By pressing a button on the title screen, the player can see the developer's best lap times on each course.
*'''COURCE1:'''{{sic}} A square-shaped course with a lake surrounded by trees in the center. The developer's best lap is 00:02:75.
*'''COURCE2:'''{{sic}} Another square-shaped course surrounded by trees with an alternative path after the first turn across a lake. The developer's best lap is 00:02:18.
*'''COURCE3:'''{{sic}} A course with a sharp first turn, two 90-degree turns, and a wide last turn, featuring red and white tires in the center. The developer's best lap is 00:02:51.
*'''COURCE4:'''{{sic}} A course set in the middle of a sea with two holes acting as obstacles after the second turn and an island in the bottom left corner. The developer's best lap is 00:02:55.
