Choro Q 64 (1998) – Nintendo 64 (Japanese Version) – Cartridge Only

Take control of some seriously tiny cars in Choro Q 64, Takara’s chaotic arcade racer for the Nintendo 64.

Released in Japan in 1998, Choro Q 64 brings the popular Japanese toy-car series into 3D racing. Known internationally as Penny Racers, the game combines traditional racing with plenty of customisation, hazards and weapons to create something a little different from your usual N64 racer.

Choose your favourite little car and compete across a variety of courses, earning parts and upgrades as you race. You can customise your vehicle with different engines, tyres, wheels, body parts and decorative components, allowing you to build a car that suits your racing style.

Things get considerably more chaotic once you start adding weapons and attack parts. Cannons, missiles, mines and other gadgets can be used to interfere with your opponents, turning races into something closer to a miniature demolition derby than a straightforward driving game.

There’s also a course editor, letting you create your own tracks and save them alongside your customised cars using a Controller Pak. With support for up to four players, Choro Q 64 is at its best when the whole room gets involved.

The Japanese release is particularly fun for collectors thanks to its original Choro Q 64 title and distinctly Japanese presentation. The game was later released internationally under the name Penny Racers, so this is a Japanese version rather than a Japanese exclusive.

Please note: this is a Japanese NTSC-J cartridge and requires compatible Japanese or region-compatible Nintendo 64 hardware to play.

A wonderfully quirky piece of Japanese N64 racing history — and a great choice for anyone who likes their racing games a little less serious.
