F1 Pole Position is a racing video game for the Super Nintendo, featuring gameplay centered around Formula One racing. Players compete in sixteen rounds across eight levels, each featuring a unique rival driver. The game emphasizes precision in controlling the car, with increasing difficulty as rival abilities strengthen. Though it shares similarities with F-1 Race, it offers a distinct challenge.
The actual names of the drivers are not used due to licensing arrangements. There are sixteen rounds divided in eight levels. Each level has a special rival to beat. The game structure has similarities with F-1 Race (Game Boy), but this time it requires a certain ability to control the Formula One car. Levels become more difficult because the rival becomes increasingly strong.
