From the second you loaded up the game, you were blasted with distorted breakbeats and pixelated graffiti-style menus. Sprunki 1996 was immersed in 90s counterculture.

Mods, Myths & Mayhem

Long before modding was mainstream, Sprunki 1996 had a secret backdoor in its code. Hardcore fans swapped custom liveries and even unlocked "Sprunk Mode", a legendary cheat that turned cars into translucent ghost machines immune to traffic.

Urban legends swirled online in forums:

• A rumored "black car" that would randomly join races and crash into the player.

• A hidden track unlocked only by beating the game without using the brakes.

• Developers hinting at a "real street racer" mode buried in the code, accessible only on a debug build.
