Unirally (released as Uniracers in North America) is a racing game developed by DMA Design and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in December 1994 and in the PAL territories on April 27, 1995.

The gameplay of Unirally involves racing riderless unicycles around a 2D track.^[2] Heavy emphasis is placed on performing stunts. Performing stunts causes the unicycle to go faster on race or circuit tracks and earn points on stunt tracks. The stunts that can be performed are relatively simple, mostly only involving jumping in the air and rotating about a given axis in 3D space. The idea is to be able to perform these stunts quickly in tight situations while landing the unicycle on its wheel to avoid wiping out, which results in the loss of accumulated speed.

The game features nine tours of five tracks each (two race, two circuit, one stunt) for a total of 45. Beating each of the first eight tours requires defeating computer-controlled opponents for each of the bronze, silver, and gold ranks. The last circuit features the Anti-Uni as the computer-controlled opponent. During that tour, touching the Anti-Uni causes several odd effects, such as the track becoming invisible, the controls reversing, and backgrounds no longer moving in sync with the actions.

The track is made of bars with patterns on them that correspond to the track's properties at or near that point. For example, a solid yellow bar indicates a shortcut, and orange/yellow bars indicate an upcoming hazard. There are also various obstacles like speed-ups, corkscrews, loops, twists, and jumps. Split-screen Two-player modes are available as well, including a league mode that allows up to eight players to compete in one-on-one races. There are 16 different colored unicycles to choose from, each with a save file and customizable name.

Unirally was known by the working title "1x1" during development. The developers practiced riding real unicycles through their offices to aid their understanding.^[3]

GamePro gave the game a mixed review. They praised the fast pace and "hard-drivin' unicycle music", but criticized the sound effects and graphics, remarking that the backgrounds are clean but boring, and the unicycles "all look identical." They concluded that players should "try this addictive game."^[8] A reviewer for Next Generation similarly said that Unirally is innovative and oddly compelling despite its surface dullness, but that the excitement and novelty of the game wear out before long.^[11] Ed Semrad of Electronic Gaming Monthly remarked that "While it lacks the charm of most ... Nintendo titles, there is bound to be a cult following." However, the other three members of the magazine's review crew all gave Unirally a negative assessment, saying that while the graphics and controls are good, the game simply lacks excitement.^[7] Entertainment Weekly gave the game a B−.^[14]
