Micro Machines games feature tracks based on household settings: for example, kitchen tables and desktops.

There was a gold (black in PAL regions) cartridge with a switch at the bottom in order to be compatible with the American and European hardware.

Published by EA subsidiary Chillingo and developed by Codemasters, the game, based extensively on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 racing game Toybox Turbos, allows players to compete against one another across the internet, local WiFi or Bluetooth in races and vehicular battles.

Although free to play, the game features in-app purchases allowing players to speed up progress by purchasing coins and gems, which in turn are used to buy additional parts for a variety of cars, ranging from transportation such as buses and taxis to rally cars, military vehicles and construction equipment.

Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament was released in 1994 and featured vehicles which required different handling techniques for each course, including hovercraft and helicopters.

There are different playing modes including "head-to-head", in which each player earns points by driving a full screen ahead of the opponent.

A selling point for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version was the J-Cart, a cartridge including two control ports, thus eliminating the need for a 4-player adaptor.

Only released as a J-Cart in PAL regions for the Sega Mega Drive, this game features all new tracks and military vehicles.

It featured circuits in different areas of the household and had multiple weapons; it also included the controller share multiplayer option.

Micro Maniacs is a racing game that takes an unconventional step considering it a near spin-off as part of the series.
