Nippon Marathon: A Crazy, Physics-Driven Four-Player Party Game Set Across Japan

September 27, 2025

Nippon Marathon, the wildly fun and chaotic party game, is now available with a 75% discount as part of the TGS Steam Sale! This game combines the classic racing elements of Micro Machines with the sheer insanity of TV's Takeshi's Castle, creating a unique experience where players can smash through offices and shopping malls while hurling fruit at their opponents.

For those seeking an even more intense adventure, Nippon Marathon Turbo Hyper=Running is now available in full arcade glory at Mikado Game Center in Tokyo. Renowned as one of the best arcades in Japan, Mikado has been praised by IGN and recently hosted a visit from the game's developers in September 2023, who called playing the arcade version a "dream come true."

Stay tuned for Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu, which is already available for wishlist on Steam. This upcoming sequel promises exclusive stages, new contestants, leaderboards, faster gameplay, and custom cabinet artwork designed by Tatsuya Ishikawa.
