Description
Championship Pro-Am speeds onto the Genesis with 24 levels of remote-controlled car racing action. The game consists of three races on eight different tracks, with each race lasting from two to nine laps. In order to move onto the next track, you'll need to finish within the top three positions or else the game is over. Players will then have the opportunity to continue two more times, but any accumulated points will be lost if progress is resumed. Championship Pro-Am is played from a three-quarter viewpoint with arrows on each track showing where you'll need to turn. While the main screen only shows a section of the course, an overhead map details the entire track at the bottom of the screen.

In addition to trying to place first, players can also find and use various items scattered across each course. These items include the following: missiles to fire at your competition; bombs to wreak havoc on anyone following your car; ammo to add an additional weapon to your arsenal; tires to improve your car's handling; engines to increase overall speed; turbos to increase acceleration; roll cages to provide immunity to crash damage; bonus letters that will give you an extra car if you spell the word "champion;" and zippers to give you a temporary boost. The tracks are also filled with objects to avoid, so you'll need to keep an eye out for puddles, oil patches, rain clouds, skulls and even pop-up walls!
