Positively wrong. I would argue against the article in that Uniracers was a racing game. There were tracks, laps, and everything else you would expect to find in a racing game. What made it a trick game was the fact that doing a trick would make you go faster, and continuing to do tricks while racing was the key to victory in the later levels. The game also featured stunt levels where the focus was completely on doing stunts, usually in some type of half pipe level. However speed was also key here, because doing more successful tricks led to you moving faster, which gave you more air, which let you do more tricks, which let you get the gold medal. Uniracers allowed you to enter your own name for your save file. There was a rudimentary profanity filter, however interestingly if you tried to enter Sega or Sonic as a name, "Not cool enough." One of the tours also featured a "Hedgehog Mode" which made the game unreasonably slow, slower than "Slow Motion" mode.
