Waku Waku Ultraman Racing is an arcade action game developed by Sega and released in 1996. Based on the popular Ultraman tokusatsu franchise, the game features chibi-styled versions of Ultraman characters competing in racing-style gameplay with action elements. Players control Ultraman heroes and kaiju characters as they race through courses while engaging in combat against opponents. The game uses dedicated arcade cabinet controls suited for its racing and fighting hybrid mechanics. Featuring colorful, cartoonish visuals designed to appeal to younger audiences, it blends the recognizable monsters and heroes from the Ultraman series into an accessible, lighthearted format. The cabinet's physical design complemented the game's energetic presentation, making it a common sight in Japanese arcades and amusement centers during the mid-1990s.
