Route-16: R

Route-16: R is a new entry in the Route16 series, first released in the 1980s. You race through stages made up of 16 mazes, collecting every item while avoiding enemy vehicles, monsters and traps.

Navigate the mazes

Switch between Maze Mode, where you explore intricate labyrinths filled with traps and gimmicks, and Radar Mode, which reveals the entire stage. Collecting all the items triggers a boss encounter rather than ending the stage.

Fight as MAD X-R

When you collide with enemies, MAD X-R transforms into a combat robot and starts a battle. Use its attacks and SP items collected throughout the stage to damage and defeat foes. The Kanharoo Gang’s bosses unleash attacks to corner MAD X-R, so dodge their assaults, look for openings in their defenses and transform to strike back.

Customize your vehicle

Before entering a stage, spend recovered money to customize MAD X-R. You can improve attributes such as fuel and speed, along with its combat performance.

Local multiplayer

For the first time in the series, you can play a local multiplayer capture-the-flag mini-game. Players compete to capture the flag; online multiplayer is not supported.
