About
Nippon Marathon is a party, action, racing game developed by British studio Onion Soup Interactive and published by PQube Limited. In April 2021, an enhanced arcade version titled Nippon Marathon Turbo was released in arcades on exA-Arcadia. This version focuses solely on multi-player racing courses and does not have mini games. Two new characters called Hato and Princess were added as selectable characters and the art was drawn by Namco's Numan Athletics artist, Tatsuya Ishikawa.
