Super Arcade Racing is a fun homage to classic top-down racers, reminiscent of games like Micro Machines and Super Cars, providing a nostalgic experience for fans of the genre.
The game features enjoyable gameplay with a good balance of challenge, allowing players to upgrade and customize their cars, which adds depth to the racing experience.
The pixel art graphics and catchy music contribute to the overall charm of the game, making it visually appealing and engaging for casual play.

The game suffers from a lack of options, including unchangeable controls and a limited variety of tracks, which can make the gameplay feel repetitive over time.
The close-up camera view hinders visibility, forcing players to memorize tracks rather than allowing for a more dynamic racing experience, which is a significant flaw for a racing game.
The story is generic and unoriginal, and while it adds some context, it does not enhance the overall gameplay experience.
