The Sega Mark III was the natural successor to the SG-1000. It was a vast hardware improvement on one hand, and a far more viable attempt at competing with Nintendo's Famicom on the other.Sega desperately needed something to sell its paddle controller with, so they made an overhead racing game with their mascot. It's similar to Enduro Racer, except it uses an overhead perspective. You jump over lakes, you dodge other bikers, and you pop wheelies on the appropriately marked spaces. It moves a bit too quickly, and Game Overs are all too common. It never left Japan, and it's a huge collector's item.
