The classic car-chase maze series returns!
3 high-octane action games in one.

ROUTE16 COLLECTION includes ROUTE16R in addition to two classic titles from the 1980s ROUTE16 series.

The ROUTE16 series is a thrilling car chase action experience where you control your beloved car, MAD X, collecting all items while evading relentless enemy cars and monsters.

ROUTE16R:
The legendary ROUTE16 returns as a brand-new title!
This time, MAD X-R isn’t just about escaping-fight back with customization and transformation to defeat incoming enemies in high-speed chase action.

- Customize and transform into a robot! Intense battle system
Use the money collected in stages to freely customize MAD X-R. Upgrade fuel, speed, and combat performance before heading into battle.
Collide with enemies to transform into a powerful robot form and use enhanced stats and SP items to defeat both minor enemies and powerful bosses.

- Series-first! Up to 4-player local multiplayer
Enjoy multiplayer for the first time in the series. Compete to capture flags in a high-speed chase action experience with friends and family.
*Local multiplayer only.

ROUTE16:
ROUTE16 is the original title in the series, first released as an arcade game in 1981.
Its defining feature is the seamless switching between two modes:
Maze Mode, which displays a zoomed-in view of the labyrinth, and Radar Mode, which shows the entire stage composed of 16 mazes.
As the foundation of the series, this title captures the core gameplay that made ROUTE16 so unique.

ROUTE16TURBO:
ROUTE16TURBO is the sequel to ROUTE16, released in 1985.
Take control of your beloved machine, MAD X, and recover the stolen money from the evil Kanharoo Gang.
Building on the original system, the game features enhanced visuals and a variety of unique maze layouts.
The turbo system allows you to accelerate using fuel, adding a new layer of strategy to the high-speed chase action.
This version also includes stages that were unreachable in the original 1985 release.
