Gameplay

The player controls a car and must explore a maze divided into sixteen rooms. The player must collect all the money bags while avoiding colliding with opponents' cars or running out of fuel. Every time the player goes out of a room, a map is shown, indicating the position of every car and all the money bags. There are also flags that can be driven over to invert the roles, so the player can crash the opposite cars and stop them for a few seconds, while getting bonus points.

Legacy

Route-16 Turbo[lower-alpha 2] is an improved version of Route-16 for the Famicom which was published on October 4, 1985 by Sunsoft only in Japan. Route-16 Turbo added multiple difficulty levels and improved graphics and music.

Due to a programming bug, the Famicom version will never recognise that round 9 is completed, preventing players from going further without emulation. It is unknown whether it is present on the PlayStation version.
