Uniracers is a technical marvel, maintaining its speed when most other SNES games would start chugging.
It's also a fascinating story.
In 1994 shortly after the game launched, Pixar of all companies sued DMA Design, claiming the Unicycles ripped off their 1987 short Red's Dream.
Pixar ultimately won (or the publisher, Nintendo settled) and the game was ordered to cease production after only 300,000 copies were made. Pixar had a point, the Unicycles looked similar. They're also unicycles. Once you animate those, there's not many differences that will happen.
Interestingly enough, this whole legal debacle was a shift in direction for the Lemmings developer. Uniracers was their pitch and Nintendo loved it. If Pixar hadn't pulled the rug out from under them, they would have their own pillar under Nintendo's flag.
Without Uniracers, DMA had to start over without their family-friendly franchise. Nintendo wanted them on the Ultra 64, but it soon became clear to both companies that only one of them was interested in making a cute N64 mascot.
Body Harvest is a little tale on its own, but the funniest part of the story is how DMA Design started working on this small PC game called Race n' Chase at the same time.
DMA Design released Grand Theft Auto in 1997, rebranding into Rockstar North after releasing GTA 3.
If Pixar hadn't done a Disney, we might be Uniracing in Mario Kart World right now.
Meanwhile
#GrandTheftAuto might be nothing more than a spark in David Jones' eye.
Probably not, but it's fascinating speculation.
Also this game is dope.
