Line 32:
** ''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]]: 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.
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Lots of varied scenery, which looked pretty spiffing for the 16-bit era.
* [[Scoring Points]]: Unusually for a driving game. You continously gain points as you drive, and get a big bonus based on time left if you reach the goal. In ''OutRun 2'', you gain points for passing traffic cars, and even more for passing rivals, but hitting a car will reduce the bonus you get from passing it.
▲* [[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.
* [[Vanity License Plate]]: The box-art above shows 'OutRun' as the license plate. You'd think that number plate would catch the attention of the local police. ''OutRun 2'' onwards followed a formula of MO (Modena, the Italian city where Ferrari is headquartered) followed by some letters and numbers referring to the car and/or its engine (MO 512 TR for the 5-liter, 12-cylinder powered Testarossa).
* [[You Fail Physics Forever]]: The totally absurd ability to powerslide from ''OutRun 2'' onwards. It makes ''[[Ridge Racer]]'' and ''[[Need for Speed]] Underground'' look like totally [[Serious Business]] driving simulators.
