Rush was ported to the Nintendo 64 in 1997. This conversion contains six regular tracks and two hidden tracks. The regular tracks can be run in either reverse or mirrored modes and feature added collectible hidden keys throughout the track that can be used to unlock hidden vehicles. Most of the original cars appeared in this conversion, but some from San Francisco Rush The Rock: Alcatraz Edition are not present. This conversion contains a Practice Mode and a Death Race mode where the game ends if the player crashes. The Nintendo 64 port of Rush also includes a Circuit Mode and a save system for Fast Times, circuit progress, and hidden keys that the player can find on secret spots to unlock new cars. San Francisco Rush The Rock: Alcatraz Edition was presumed to be ported to the Nintendo 64 for release in 1998, but, despite advertisements included in the box of the Nintendo 64 version stating the game was "Coming Fall 1998 for Nintendo 64," this was later reported as an erroneous statement, and that the advert was actually intended solely for the arcade version, which includes all of the tracks that were already in the Nintendo 64 version.
