Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Greg Orlando of NextGen said, "Mindlessly fun and often breathlessly destructive, Interplay's car-wreck opus Super Runabout succeeds in spite of its graphics and control issues. There are clipping and collision problems galore, and some of the game's vehicles handle like an oiled sled on ice, but the game remains both eminently enjoyable and highly playable." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 31 out of 40. GameFan gave the game an above-average review about two months before its U.S. release date.
