This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Mario Andretti Racing is a racing game developed by Stormfront Studios and High Score Productions and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Mega Drive. It is sponsored by Mario Andretti.

Mario Andretti Racing should not be confused with Andretti Racing, a later racing game for the Sega Saturn.

Gameplay

Mario Andretti Racing allows players to race in IndyCars, stock cars, or sprint cars, all motorsports Mario Andretti competed in at various points during his career.

History

In the US this game was released twice, once in a traditional plastic "clamshell" case, and again in cardboard packaging. The latter release is far less common than the former, and sports a traditional rectangular US Genesis cartridge with regular Genesis "red stripes" branding. Every other game on record released by Electronic Arts in this region has been stored within their proprietary "square with yellow tab" cartridge design.
