Arcade Mode[edit]
The arcade mode in Super Hang-On is similar to the original Hang-On. However, there is a choice of four tracks to race on which are based on continents, each containing a different amount of stages. Each stage is roughly half the length of a stage in the original Hang-On.
- Africa: The easiest and shortest out of the four courses (6 stages).
- Asia: The second easiest and similar in length to the course from the original Hang-On at 10 stages long.
- The Americas: The second to toughest course, containing 14 stages.
- Europe: The hardest course, being 18 stages long.
When the player starts a race, they have their choice of four songs that will play during the race, a feature borrowed from Out Run.
Original Mode[edit]
This mode is only found in home versions, and is much more in-depth than the arcade mode, though the gameplay in the races is the same. The main screen is a menu where the player has several options, much like the main screen in Rock N' Roll Racing. The player can buy new parts for their bike, hire a new mechanic, or start a race. This screen displays the player's current money as well as a password for continuing their game.
