Car Battler Joe is pure uniquely awesome, a really fun game by Natsume (Harvest Moon people.) One part mode7 racer, one part RPG, and one part mad max type world with an anime coat of paint. I have to throw another vote in and wish I hadn't forgot to write it up myself first. I just was thinking straight racers and forgot this one which I discovered maybe just 5 years ago and it's fantastic and outright unique for the system.
