Talk:Famicom Grand Prix (series)

Famicom Grand Prix games part of a larger F-1 Race series?:
Wouldn't it be more accurate to call these two games a sort of "sub-series" of the larger F-1 Race series (all 4 games) like we've done with the NSMB series (all NSMB games) and the Super Mario series (all platformer games, including the NSMB games)? Three of these games are called "F-1 Race" (F-1 Race (FC), Famciom Grand Prix: F-1 Race and F-1 Race (GB)), plus Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race and F-1 Race (GB, japanese version) shares the same logo on: The only difference being the addition of a small star between the "F" and the "1" and the color of the logo originally chrome turned gold. Another commonality between these games is the inclusion of Nintendo character references with the exception of F-1 Race (FC). Finally, all of them are Formula 1 car racing games except Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally which, as the name suggests, is more of a rally type game. --Conradd (talk) 13:18, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * the covers of the boxes;
 * the stickers on the disc/cartridge;
 * the manuals;
 * the title screens of both games.
 * The problem is 3D Hot Rally isn't Formula One-based, though. That could be considered a separate series that intersects, but since the Famicom F-1 Race has nothing to do with Mario at all and the Game Boy one merely has cameos, I don't really think that would be within our coverage any further than it currently is.

 * Is 3D Hot Rally really a Mario game or is it more that it is part of a larger series (the F-1 series) and Mario & Luigi are just cameos? Mario is barely present in the first Famicom Grand Prix, he is just used on the cover and the promotional illustrations (and maybe that one sprite who could look like him). To me it's more of a SSX on Tour and NBA Street V3 type situation, they're not Mario games, but Mario is used as a promotional tool to sell more copies. These games are more like crossovers if you want. I think a simple mention that this is a bigger series should suffice without having to mention the other games in the series that have no connection to Mario. --Conradd (talk) 14:30, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
