<h2>Overview</h2><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">Uniracers, or Unirally in PAL territories, is a unicycle racing game for the <a href="/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/3045-9/" data-ref-id="3045-9">Super Nintendo</a>. Taking place in the "Uni-verse", players control a sentient unicycle, created by the 'Unigod' for the sole purpose of racing other sentient unicycles.</p><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">Uniracers is a game where tricks are not only a device for showing off, but are also vital for beating some of the computer-controlled unicycles.</p><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">There are three different types of tracks.</p><ol><li><b>Race</b>: Simple point-A-to-point-B race. First one to reach the finish line wins. There are two of these in each tour.</li><li><b>Circuit</b>: Like a race, but there are a number of laps to complete before the unicycle finishes.</li><li><b>Stunt</b>: A unique mode, there are no CPU unicycles in Stunt tracks. Instead, the player must reach a predetermined point goal within 45 seconds to pass the course successfully.</li></ol><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">The track layout in every Tour goes Race, Circuit, Stunt, Race, Circuit.</p><h2>Playable Unicycles</h2><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">There are 18 unicycles that can be chosen.</p><ul><li><strong>Mike:</strong> Red Unicycle</li><li><strong>Martin:</strong> Dark Green Unicycle</li><li><strong>Amy:</strong> Orange Unicycle</li><li><strong>Michelle:</strong> Yellow-Green Unicycle</li><li><strong>Dave:</strong> Grey Unicycle</li><li><strong>Carol:</strong> Pink Unicycle</li><li><strong>Ken:</strong> Purple Unicycle</li><li><strong>Alice:</strong> Green Unicycle</li><li><strong>Andrew:</strong> Blue Unicycle</li><li><strong>Melissa:</strong> Yellow Unicycle</li><li><strong>Malcolm:</strong> Teal Unicycle</li><li><strong>Colin:</strong> Light Blue Unicycle</li><li><strong>Tony:</strong> Black Unicycle</li><li><strong>Craig:</strong> Light Green Unicycle</li><li><strong>Robbie:</strong> Maroon Unicycle</li><li><strong>Steve:</strong> Light Blue Unicycle</li></ul><h2>Tour Layout</h2><p data-right-indent="0" data-left-indent="0">There are nine different Tours, including 4 initially marked off Tours, and one hidden Tour.
