Nitronic Rush is a freeware racing game where you drive a car in a colorful, futuristic environment.


This work provides examples of:[]

  • Car Fu: One of the in-game achievements makes reference to this trope. ("I Know Car Fu") To earn it, you have to defeat an enemy vehicle (which there are very few in this game) by ramming it with your car.
    • It's also one of the things the announcer says after a trick combo.
  • Cool Car: And it glows!
  • Easter Egg: In one of the tracks, you could follow a purple road that will lead you to a small section where you could just have some fun and do some tricks.[1]
  • Flying Car: Your car can spread wings and fly for a short period of time before it overheats.
  • Large Ham: The game's announcer with his mixture of various decades' catchphrases, especially The Nineties.
  • Nitro Boost: As an ability and boost pad variation.
  • Scenery Porn: And everything glows just like your car!
  • Shout-Out: Double Rainbow is one of the tricks one can make.
    • Since the game involves you doing cool tricks with your car, one of the achievements in the game had to be, yes, "Do a Barrel Roll".
    • Some could also see this game as a Spiritual Successor to San Francisco Rush, particularly 2049.
      • They also recently created a remake of the "Gauntlet" level from 2049 as a tribute.
    • When crashing, the announcer might yell "It keeps happening!"
  • Title Scream: Just like in the game mentioned above: "3, 2, 1, RUSH!"
    • Also happens when the game is started.
  • Tron Lines: This game could fit right into the Tron universe.
  • Variable Mix: The music's instrumentation changes on whatever you are doing. Boosting, jumping, flying and even overheating add something to the main mix. Entering a tunnel gives you a speaker effect as well.
  1. Finding it doesn't do anything special and will take away time for finishing the track as quickly as possible to set a record, but it's still cool.
