* [[Brand X]]: The first game didn't have official licensing from Ferrari despite using everything about the Testarossa's styling, up to and including the prancing horse logo on the back. The cars were fully licensed from ''OutRun 2'' onwards.
* [[Cool Car]]: The first game had you drive a Ferrari Testarossa convertible. Later games had you drive any of a variety of cars - primarily Ferraris, and dodging out of the way of slower [[Boring but Practical|regular everyday cars]] like VW Beetles, etc.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Crashes are cheap. If you crash, the game resets you after a few seconds. Even if your car ''barrel-rolled several times and you were thrown out of it onto the asphalt and an obstacle car ran over your head''. Just keep in mind that a couple of crashes [[Timed Mission|is all you need to lose the game.]]
** But keep in mind that a couple of crashes [[Timed Mission|is all you need to lose the game.]]
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Kind of the whole point. Your passenger doesn't care [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'|unless you crash]].
* [[Driving Stick]]: '''Massively''' simplified gearbox with two options: Low gear and High gear. As''OutRunners'' ifalso thishad didn'tcars makewith things3 easyor enoughmore speed, laterbut gamesthe addedway anyou automaticshift function.pretty Presumably,much peopleamounts complainedto atpushing the lackup/down thereoflever inuntil you reach the firstgear you installmentwant. ''OutRun 2'' onwards hadhas 5 or 6 speed manual gearboxes depending on the car, but withall share the same up/down functionality; to make things simple, it also includes an option for automatic transmission.
** ''OutRunners'' already had cars with 3 or more speed, but the way you shift pretty much amounts to pushing the up/down lever until you reach the gear you want.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Sometimes.
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: If you crash hard enough to come to a stop, the results can be spectacular. You and your passenger might be thrown from the car and fly through the air, or your passenger might simply admonish you before the car is reset on the track.
* [[Multiple Endings]]:
* [[Multiple Endings]]:* Depending on the route you pick. Results can range from the driver ([[Crowning Moment of Funny|or the passenger]]) being given a trophy to the car just falling to bits.
** ''OutRunners'' has one ending for each tag team you pick, independent of the route.
** ''OutRun 2'' returns to form with new endings rendered in 3D. And, true to form, they can be ''hilarious'' (especially routes A and E).
** Averted with ''OutRun 2019'', which has only one ending.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Since most games' single-player modes don't have any opponent cars, your true opponent is the harsh [[Timed Mission|time limit]].
* [[Race Against the Clock]]: The gameplay style. If time runs out, you lose. You win simply by making it to the end without running out of time.
