Players are updated on the race by commentator 'Loudmouth Larry' (Larry 'Supermouth' Huffman), who makes enthusiastic comments like 'The stage is set, the green flag drops!' (or 'Let the carnage begin!'), and '(player name) is about to blow!' at appropriate moments during the race.īetween races, players can spend the money they have earned on more advanced equipment for their vehicle (engines, tires, shocks, and shielding) or on increasing their capacity for the frontal weapon (energy blasts or missiles), rear weapon (slip sauce or mines), and turbo boost (jump jets or nitro boosts), each of which can max out at seven. Other hazards include oil slicks, snow drifts, and lava, depending on the planet hosting the race. In accordance with the continual destruction and restoration of the racing vehicles, the tracks are littered with mines and health power-ups, as well as money power-ups. Players are rewarded with a monetary 'attack bonus' each time they provide the finishing blow against another car using their forward or rear weapons (and a similar 'lapping bonus' when they gain a full one-lap lead on an opponent during the race). While it is a racing game, there is heavy emphasis on attacking competitor's vehicles since the cars always reappear with full health just a few seconds after blowing up, the only 'harm' done is falling behind in the race.

It is also similar in gameplay to Racing Destruction Set where it got its logic/AI engine and the NES game R.C. At the end of the project, Interplay marketing added licensed music and changed the name to Rock n' Roll Racing. Rock n' Roll Racing was initially developed as RPMII, a sequel to the company's SNES game RPM Racing.

In celebration of the company's 30th anniversary, Rock n' Roll Racing was re-released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of the Blizzard Arcade Collection in February 2021. The game was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2003. The game prominently features a number of popular heavy metal and rock songs in its soundtrack, hence the game's title. Rock n' Roll Racing is a vehicular combat-based racing video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now known as Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay Productions for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993 and the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994.
