In the training mode players can practice by driving solo on any of the sixteen tracks available, with the tracks consisting of five city courses, four country courses, four mountain courses, a dirt course, and two gymkhana courses.
The main mode available is the race mode.
In this mode players select the amount of races they want to compete in (5, 10, 15, or 20).
After that is decided, players choose from one of six different drivers.
Each driver comes with their own weight and guts percentage, and have different starting body and tire ratings for their roadster.
During a race players have to compete against five other drivers trying to get the best placed finish.
While in the race, players can make pit stops to repair any tire wear or body damage they sustained while out on the track.
Points are earned depending on where the player finished the race.
More points are awarded for the better finish.
The ultimate champion is the driver who totals the most points after a series of races.
There is occasionally a power-up that can be picked up during a race.
After the race this is collected in, this power-up can be spent on either increasing the statistics of the body or tire rating.
The game also offers the option if they want to race with the music on or off.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Roadster for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Roadster to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1990.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Roadster has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.

Is Roadster rare?
Roadster has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.
What's the difference between loose, CIB and sealed for Roadster?
Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
