'''''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally''''' is a racing video game released in [[Japan]] for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. It is the sequel to ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'', although the two games are very different. Like its predecessor, it too was subject of a tournament which was held from April 14 to May 31, 1988. The top 100 players of each class of car received a trophy in the form of a gold car of their class encased in quartz crystal with their name and rank on the base. Thus, there are 300 such trophies. They and thousands of runners-up and raffle winners received a "Pretty Mini", which is a yellow stationery set in the form of Diskun, the FDS mascot. It is similar to a white stationery set that was sold in stores.<ref>[https://pony.velvet.jp/fcdisk/fdsidxmnlsealallst6.html]</ref><ref>[https://famicomworld.com/workshop/articles/the-holy-grails/holy-grails-stationary-set/ Types of Pretty Mini stationery sets]</ref> They also received mock driver's licenses.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky8UJqmhR_I Video of the prizes]</ref> The game supports the {{wp|Famicom 3D System}}, allowing the player to see the screen in three-dimensions by wearing a specialized set of goggles.

This game, along with its predecessor, is a possible ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. | This game, along with its predecessor, is a possible ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. | ||

The game is not a traditional racing game in the sense the goal is not to finish first, but rather to finish before the timer ends. The player starts with 20 seconds in the "Time Bank". Each alternate path, or "leg", of the course has a predetermined expected time frame of completion. If players do not meet that time frame, the seconds from the Time Bank will subtract. However, if players finish the leg in under the expected time indicated, the seconds remaining from it will be added on to the Time Bank. If the Time Bank is fully depleted, the vehicle will automatically switch to neutral transmission and begin gradually slowing down as long as it is not angled downhill; if the vehicle stops with an empty time gauge, the game will end. | The game is not a traditional racing game in the sense the goal is not to finish first, but rather to finish before the timer ends.

Scattered throughout the course in groups of five are [[Hot Dot]]s: collecting eight of them will grant the vehicle an additional gear for a temporary 15 seconds that allows it to speed up to 300 km/h. | Scattered throughout the course, usually in groups of five, are [[Hot Dot]]s: collecting eight of them will grant the vehicle an additional gear for a temporary 15 seconds that allows it to speed up to 300 km/h. | ||
