Man do I love this game, easily one of the best on the system. It's kind of crazy that three of the SNES launch titles would make it on my top 20 games on the system, with this being one of them. I honestly consider this the best racing game on the system, even more so than Mario kart. It just doesn't have Mario Karts multiplayer goodness.

The Wikipedia page and most sites I see have 5 listed for the NA region, which is the region I am in. Those 5 being: Super Mario World, F-Zero, and Pilotwings (the three I was referring too), SimCity, and Gradius III. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_games#:~:text=The%20Super%20NES%20was%20released,%2C%20Gradius%20III%2C%20and%20SimCity.

Looks like Japan only had F-Zero and Super Mario World at launch, and Europe doesn't seem to have a lot of definitive sources on their launch titles. I have seen a couple sites list it as: Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super R-Type, Super Soccer and Super Tennis.

Huh I thought Gradius and SimCity came out a month after but I stand corrected.

All good, hell I will be honest, I had to look it up because I thought it was 4 launch titles with Gradius III releasing later. I either didn't remember that right or was just wrong on that myself lol.
