Mega Man: Battle & Chase is a racing video game based on the original Mega Man series from Capcom. The game was released in Japan on March 20, 1997 and in the PAL region on April 3, 1998 for PlayStation. Although it was not released individually in North America, Mega Man: Battle & Chase was featured on the region-exclusive Mega Man X Collection in 2006. Mega Man: Battle & Chase is a traditional racing game with an emphasis on combat. Winning a race allows the player to choose a car part from an enemy competitor as a prize. The story of the game is centered around the Battle & Chase racing show, with a prize of 10 million zenny for the winner. After a thunderstorm broke Dr. Light's computer, Mega Man decides to join the tournament to win the prize money and use it to fix his creator's computer. Reviews for the game have been mixed with many critics drawing comparisons to Nintendo's Mario Kart series.
