'''Super Sprint''' is a [[racing]] arcade game which was released by [[Atari Games]] in [[1986]]. It runs upon their System 2 hardware. It is the fifth title for their {{c|Sprint}} series. [[Tengen]] produced several home conversions of the game for the [[Amstrad CPC]], [[Atari ST]], [[Commodore 64]], [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], and [[Sinclair ZX Spectrum]] - but they are all (with the possible exception of the ST) inferior to the original, due to the fact that they were released on 8-bit systems (the AS2 is a good example of a 16-bit board released before [[1987]]).

===Screen Info===
==Gameplay==
<nowiki>#</nowiki> of Players: Located in the top left corner. It indicates the number of people playing. If there are two people playing, it will say P1 and P2 there.
Up to three players must use a steering wheel and gas pedal, to take control of a car (blue for 1P, red for 2P, and yellow for 3P), with the CPU filling in for missing players (along with the fourth, green car). Unlike the previous Sprint titles, the players will have to choose one of eight different tracks at the start of the game, and complete a preset number of laps on it. Powerups will also occasionally appear on the track during the race, and the players may collect them for bonuses. Players may tune up their cars between races, but as soon as they fail to finish a race first their game will be over and the remaining players shall continue without them.
Score: Located to the right of the # of players. It show the score for the
{{ToC}}
current player(s). If there are two people playing, the score will appear
{{Sprint}}
beside the P1 and P2 on the left.
Level: Located to the right of the score. It shows which track your on.
[[Category:Racing]]
[[Category:Single player]]
Lap: Located to the right of the level. It shows how many laps you’ve done.
[[Category:Multiplayer]]
There are five laps to each race. If there are two people playing, the current
[[Category:MAME]]
lap will appear at the same height as the P1 and P2 on the left.
===Stuff on the Track===
Red Bar: Gives you points. These aren’t too helpful. Don’t bother grabbing them
unless they are in your way.
Wrench: Gives you one point to use toward an upgrade. Two of them will appear
during a race. The other cars won’t go out of their way to get them but you
should as long as it doesn’t cost you the race.
Water: Slows you down when you go through it.
Oil: Spins you out when you go through it. These are trouble. Avoid them if you
can.
Pylon: Slows you down when you hit it.
Tornado: Spins you out when you go through it. These are a pain in the ass
because they move around on the track but try to avoid them if you can.
===Upgrades===
Super Traction: Increases the grip of your tires. It’s hard to gauge the
results of this upgrade but it seems to help you slightly when you going around
turns. The Higher Top Speed upgrade will negate it somewhat.
Higher Top Speed: Increases the top speed of your car. Use this sparingly
because it makes it harder to take turns and easier to blow up and spin out
when you run into the barrier or other objects.
Turbo Acceleration: Increases how fast your car speeds up. It makes it a little
harder to take turns if you put a lot of points into it but you don’t have to
worry too much about the negative effects.
Increase Score: Increases your score. You don’t need to use this until later in
the game, maybe after you finish track 7 and beyond.
