* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Every single track from the first game is insanely catchy:

* EventObscuringCamera: Since the tracks in ''[=MegaRace=] 2'' are pre-rendered, the camera is {{fixed|camera}} to one spot on the track at all times, which can make it difficult to gauge turns.
* CultClassic: The series still has a following to this day, in part for being a 90's FullMotionVideo-based game that's actually ''fun to play'', but mostly due to Christian Erickson's lovably smarmy portrayal of Lance Boyle.
* HilariousInHindsight: It's amazing how similar the humor in ''[=MegaRace=]'' is to the humor in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.
* JustHereForGodzilla: ''[=MegaRace=] 3'' is worth playing if only to watch Lance Boyle.
* PolishedPort: The 3DO port features several improvements over the DOS original, namely a higher framerate, smoother graphics, and enhanced visual and sound effects.
* PortingDisaster: The Sega CD port compresses the graphics and [=FMVs=] to such a degree that they are robbed of almost all their color. The framerate and draw distance are considerably worse than the DOS version, and some of the iconic music has been replaced.
* ThatOneLevel: Level 8, Particle, in the first ''[=MegaRace=]''.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The third game plays like ''[[VideoGame/FZero F-Zero X]]''. Not many fans are pleased.
* WTHCostumingDepartment: By ''[=MegaRace=] 3'', Lance's style has gone from "wacky, colorful game-show host" to "lost a bet with ''Series/MaxHeadroom''."
