Line 2: [[File:200px-Battle_Cars_Coverart_139.png\|frame]] {{quote\| "Welcome. [[Spot of Tea\|Shall we have tea]] before we race?" - [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~Alliteration\|Nomad Nathalmu]]}} ''Battle Cars'' is a [[Vehicular Combat]] racing game developed by [[Namco]] and released on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It uses the same graphical setup of Mode-7 rendered levels and sprite-based cars as [[F-Zero]], released two years earlier. It's almost as fast-paced as [[F-Zero]], with the added bonus/challenge of [[Weaponized Car\|Weaponized Cars.]] It's [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]. Overpopulation and environmental decay, followed by political [[The Scapegoat\|finger-pointing]] and [[World War III\|nuclear war]] have left humanity [[Crapsack World\|crippled and living in city-states.]] The jaded remnants of humanity have created [[Blood Sport\|a new sport]], a sport of [[Vehicular Combat]]: [[Title Drop\|Battle Cars.]] The player takes the role of an up-and-coming racer on a quest to take home the gold. In your way are a variety of twisting tracks and nasty [[Boss Battle\|bosses.]] Line 10: That's the career mode. The game also featured a two-player Versus mode. {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Battle Cars'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Abnormal Ammo]]: In addition to missiles and spiked grenades, you can also shoot large metal discs. They're unique in that they rebound off walls, and can be shot around corners if you're skillful. * [[Action Girl]]: Doctor Diana and Manaical Mariko. * [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~Alliteration]]: All but a few of the bosses' names. * [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]]: Dirty Knuckle Ned, boss of Katmandu, dresses the part of a '50s greaser, replete with slightly messed pompadour. His car helps the overall image, resembling a '50s Chevrolet. Maniacal Mariko also does this, with a red kimono and rice hat. * [[A Winner Is You]]: [[Averted Trope\|Averted, interestingly enough.]] While the credits roll, you're treated to some new dialogue from all the bosses. Nomad Nathalmu, for example, invites you for a [[Spot of Tea]] and a [[The Rival\|friendly rematch.]] On the other hand, the [[Puny Earthlings\|the aliens want you dead and can't comprehend how you beat them.]] [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard\|To be fair, their incredulity is justified.]] Line 39: * [[Vehicular Combat]] * [[Viva Las Vegas]]: Nuevo Vegas. * [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: If you hadn't realized yet, Maniacal Mariko's absurdly maneuverable three-wheeled motorcycle will clue you in to the fact that this game [[Nintendo Hard\|isn't screwing around.]] * [[Wicked Cultured]]: Doctor Diana, boss of Meltdown, who is in fact [[Dr. Jerk\|a doctor.]] [[The Quincy Punk\|You wouldn't know by looking at her.]] * [[Wutai]]: Manaical Mariko's home region of Fuji looks to be a quiet temple retreat, in stark contrast to the other areas.
