Gameplay
The player controls a car exploring a maze of sixteen rooms, collecting all money bags while avoiding opponent cars and fuel depletion. Exiting a room displays a large overworld map showing the positions of every car and money bag. Driving over flags inverts roles, allowing the player to crash opponent cars and stop them temporarily for bonus points. The overworld map distinguished Route-16 from other maze games.
