'''Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race''' is a Japan-exclusive racing game released for the [[Famicom Disk System]] on October 30, 1987. It is a racing game starring [[Mario]] in Formula One cars. Japan held a Famicom Grand Prix: F-12 Contest, and [[player]]s with the highest scores got a ''[[Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch]]'' sealed in a case shaped like Diskun, the mascot of the Famicom Disk System who appeared on all covers of Famicom Disk games (and also made an appearance as a [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''). A sequel was released, known as ''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]'', and it was very different from F-1 Race.

In the game, players can choose to play alone or with other cars. Cars have a certain amount of health and fuel, which decreases whenever the player crashes into a wall or another car, as well as whenever he or she drives off of the road. The player can go to a pit-stop to regenerate the health and fuel; however, doing this takes away race time. Winning the Grand Prix rewards players with [[coins]] (Money), which can be used to unlock hidden cars.

Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race is a Japan-exclusive racing game released for the Famicom Disk System on October 30, 1987. It is a racing game starring Mario in Formula One cars. Japan held a Famicom Grand Prix: F-12 Contest, and players with the highest scores got a Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch sealed in a case shaped like Diskun, the mascot of the Famicom Disk System who appeared on all covers of Famicom Disk games (and also made an appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee). A sequel was released, known as Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally, and it was very different from F-1 Race.

In the game, players can choose to play alone or with other cars. Cars have a certain amount of health and fuel, which decreases whenever the player crashes into a wall or another car, as well as whenever he or she drives off of the road. The player can go to a pit-stop to regenerate the health and fuel; however, doing this takes away race time. Winning the Grand Prix rewards players with coins (Money), which can be used to unlock hidden cars.
