Stunt Race FX was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service on September 5, 2019, its first re-release in more than two decades.

Each course is constructed of 3D polygons, complete with road bumps, overhead passes, and detailed billboard advertisements.

The lack of speed is incorporated into gameplay by featuring cars that are heavier and clumsier than in conventional racing games.

[3] 3D polygonal graphics are the game's main highlight, and producer Shigeru Miyamoto had his designers emphasize realistic vehicle dynamics.

The direction, weight, and force applied by each tire to the road surface is unique, making it quicker and easier for the car's tail to drift when cornering compared to other vehicles.

In its place was a three-wheeled vehicle called the 3WD, bearing a color scheme very close to the 4WD's blue paint job.

[citation needed] Two television advertisements were made and aired: one for Japan and one for North America and Europe.

The advertisement for North America and Europe has a police officer talking to the viewers (as the driver) who he thinks infracted traffic laws while some gameplay footage is shown.

[7][8] Around the release of Stunt Race FX in the United States, Nintendo of America contracted with Kellogg's to give away a promotional, Hot Wheels brand, F-Type race car to people who mailed two proofs of purchase of Apple Jacks breakfast cereal.

"[24] Zoey Handley of Destructoid said the game's contemporary reviews are mostly positive but biased by the simple standards of the time, and that as a child she considered it good only as a rental because its replay value is so short and the primitive graphics induce nausea.
