Released in 1990, this game allows players to experience the thrill of Formula One racing, featuring the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix circuit. The game challenges players to race against competitive AI opponents through a series of intense races. The Game Gear version, although scaled down from the arcade giant, manages to capture the essence of high-speed F1 racing with impressive graphics and sound for the portable device. It offers multiple views during races, including both third-person and first-person perspectives, which was a notable feature at the time for a handheld racing game.

It retains key gameplay elements such as qualifying sessions to determine grid positions and the need for strategic pit stops. The game also incorporates a season mode, where players must compete over several races to win the championship. This adds a layer of depth and longevity to the gameplay, as players must not only focus on individual races but also manage their performance across an entire season. "Super Monaco GP" is celebrated for bringing a complex and enjoyable racing simulation to a portable format, making it a cherished title among Sega Game Gear enthusiasts.
