Final Lap Twin. I played it at a time where I just liked playing platformers and such (and I have never been a racing game fan), but I couldn't stop playing this game. It's a racing RPG for the Turbografx, complete with random encounters that consist of racing around the track. Your goal is to beat the best racer in each area. If you lose, you get sent back to your hometown, and your dad pretty much just tells you "You'll do better next time, here's $500." So fun.

On the racing front, I didn't expect to like Need for Speed Most Wanted as much as I did.

Also, surprisingly, Sonic the Hedgehog '06. I knew exactly what to expect, and I think the game is surprisingly pretty fun. The glitches just make it more funny for me.
