Top Racer Collection is a great way to remember the past. In addition to bringing the trilogy, the collection also adds online, extra modes and even a modified game. However, it is an expensive package on the Brazilian PS Store and only the first title in the collection is actually worth it.
The Top Racer Collection features a lot of the same core gameplay across its four titles, but each of them excels at what it does. Those craving something new in the arcade racing realm who missed out on the series in its 16-bit heyday should check this out. Anyone who loved Outrun or has enjoyed Horizon Chase Turbo or '80s Overdrive as more modern homages to this franchise will have a blast with each entry. It's fascinating to have all of the early games in one collection and see the evolution from the earliest entries into the later ones, with new Crossroads content making it easy to hope for a new full-on Top Racer game down the line.

The Top Racer Collection is a fun racing collection if you enjoy racing games from the ‘90s. The game is vibrant and crisp, and with a banging soundtrack, you will love it!
A delightful retro compilation featuring beloved 2D racers from the 16-bit era, retaining their timeless charm and providing surprisingly enjoyable gameplay even in their largely unaltered forms.
Anyone looking to revisit the Top Racer series will have a blast with this collection. The racing remains fluid and engrossing. Having all three games here means players can see how the series evolved over time, although Top Racer Crossroads feels more like tweak on existing content rather than something wholly new. Online multiplayer is a welcome addition whilst autosaves and save states makes individual races easier to repeat. I don't think the new menus combine well with the older graphics but the effort that's gone into this product is pretty commendable.
I just wished the package included some historical details if only to help bring some context for those who weren’t there for the original releases.
Top Racer Collection does what it says on the box, it contains the three SNES games from the series, pretty much unchanged. The collection provides the bare-bones quality-of-life options that are usually expected including changing screen size and playing with filters. Some new gameplay options such as online play are present as well. Unfortunately, given the number of better alternatives in this genre, both past and modern, this collection is a bit of a hard sell. However, I acknowledge that the series does have a huge following in some parts of the world, and for those that simply want to play Top Racer again, in their original form and on modern consoles, then this collection will sort them out.
Summary The thrill of 16-bit racing from the 90s is back! Play the complete Top Racer series with Top Racer, Top Racer 2, Top Racer 3000 and Top Racer Crossroads, a brand new game with new cars and exclusive content made especially for this unmissable edition.
