* ''VideoGame/{{Outlander}}'' takes place primarily behind the wheel of a car while also featuring occasional side-scrolling action sequences. The game was originally developed as a tie-in for ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior'', but the developers lost the license to the film late into the game's development, leading to last-minute changes to remove references to the film.

Added DiffLines:

* Racing in ''VideoGame/{{Sideswiped}}'' is gratuitously full-contact; cars can be hit, crushed, and even launched hundreds of feet into the air or down the track depending on the aggressor and the severity of the collision. Smashing your opposition to pieces is either encouraged or outright required depending on the nature of the event. The player must also upgrade or purchase new vehicles to tackle ever more difficult challenges, with many events depending on the player being able to bring the right car for the job.

There are large bricks that can be used as a cover, though they're breakable. Hitting a character yields one point, and makes the shot character respawn in their starting point. The first character to score three points wins.

** By the time if Wipeout HD, the more chaotic races (lovingly referred to by fans as "Cambodia") become frenzies of colours flying everywhere ([[UpToEleven even more so than the game already was!]]) and the announcer listing every weapon in the game in quick succession, doubly so in the expansion pack's version of Eliminator, which ups the rate racers receive weapons and respawns defeated ones.

** ''VideoGame/MarioParty5'': Super Duel Mode consists of building, part by part, your dream vehicle so you can then duke it out in combat on wheels. Pay attention to the stats of the vehicle and how the individual parts affect the overall gauge of attributes.
** ''VideoGame/MarioParty6'': The minigame Sumo Of Doom-o pits two dueling characters in a battlefield inside a factory, with them driving six-wheeled cars and clashing against each other to see who pushes who into the abyss. The catch is that, periodically, the Thwomp who is watching them from the distance will stomp its floor, causing the players' battling ground to crumble and lose a part of its area; this will reduce the playable area, making it more likely for either player to knock off the other (or simply fall down accidentally, rendering the other player victorious). The last player standing wins, but if both manage to endure for 30 seconds or both fall down at the same time, the minigame ends in a tie.
