... them. The game is presented from an overhead perspective which looks down on the racing action. Unlike other racing games, though, Micro Machines offers more light hearted areas such as breakfast tables and kitchen counters. Complete with various obstacles and bridges the user must keep in closer alignment with his or her opponent (or vice versa) as outracing the other will force the game to stop and restart from an equal point, giving one point to the leader.
