The year is 1212. Earth is losing its struggle against ruthless, sub-human space scavengers seeking mastery over every living creature. The only hope for the war-torn planet is to locate survivors scattered over the four corners of the globe, and organize them into an avenging army. With time running out, only the speed and skill of Mach Rider can reach them before all is lost.
GAME PLAY: As Mach Rider, you are aware of the need for speed. So, in a desperate attempt to save the planet, you design your own course of action--one so difficult and fraught with danger that it would sorely test the strength and endurance of even the best of riders. You grip the handles of your cycle and, your face distorting with impelling force, accelerate to top speed. Every hairpin curve of your self-created daredevil course poses increasingly dangerous challenges and an endless array of ruthless villains determined to end your mission. But you are more determined. For Earth must not succumb to the vile space scavengers.
Mach Rider is a motorcycle combat game set in a post-apocalyptic future. Players, represented by Mach Rider, must make their way across ten sectors to reach the city before it gets taken over by the enemy. Aggressive drivers try to force players off the road; obstacles, such as rocks, and the road's many turns also can cause players to veer off course. If destroyed, Mach Rider will reform himself so that he can continue.
There are three different play modes in Mach Rider.
On the Fighting Course, there are two paths to choose from. The goal must be reached while shooting down enemies or forcing them off the road; more points are rewarded by bumping off enemies. Unlimited lives are available for the first stage, but remaining courses must be finished in three lives or less.
On the Endurance and Solo Courses, there is a certain distance that must be gone before the time runs out. Enemies are on the Endurance Course, but the Solo course is devoid of enemies.
There is also a level editor (similar to the one in Excitebike) that allows creation of Endurance Course tracks, which are erased once the NES is turned off.
