ItThe isgame serves as the sequel to ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'', although theit two games areis very different. Thefrom gameit, playand is similarthe tothird thattitle of the ''[[RadF1 RacerRace]]'', whichseries.

A [[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally Soundtrack|soundtrack]] for the game was released beforeon itJuly 25, 1988.
 
Like its predecessor, ''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' was also subject of a tournament, which was held from April 14 to May 31, [[1988]]. The top 100 players of each car class 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>
 
''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' marks the first time that [[Luigi]] appears taller and thinner than [[Mario]] on a game's box art, though this design was established in official artwork for ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' such as its tie-in film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''.
 
==Gameplay==
This game, along with its predecessor, is a possible ancestor to the ''[[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 gameplay is often compared to ''[[Rad Racer]]'', due to both being arcade-style racing games with 3D modes. The main objective of the game is to drive a car down a long road, while trying to make it to certain check points in a given amount of time. The timer only stops between checkpoints, but it does not reset. If the timer reaches zero, the game ends.
 
There are three cars to choose from: [[Kattobi]], [[Yonque]], and [[Monster]]. Each car has its own stats, namely affects its speed and how it handles certain off-road terrain, such as grass and dirt. The player's car has a set amount of health, which decreases upon crashing with the other cars on the road or the objects on its sides. Players can also choose an area to make repairs to their car, although this still costs them time.

==Development and release==
Since most Famicom Disk System titles lack shutters and are often damaged by accident, Nintendo released ''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' and some of their other Famicom Disk System titles in blue disks with shutters for protection. Nintendo designed and programmed the game with auxiliary program support from [[HAL Laboratory]].
''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' was shown to Nintendo of America, who heavily criticized the game, particularly the "cute" design of the vehicles, and stated it would not sell. This reaction infuriated director Kazunobu Shimizu, who would later become one of the drivers behind the graphical style of ''[[F-Zero (game)|F-Zero]]''.<ref>Nintendo (September 19, 2017).
