RETRO GP is grand prix racing the way it looked on a 1990s handheld: top-down pixel cars, chiptune engines, and 24 real circuits drawn from the actual track maps. DRIVE THE CALENDAR From Albert Park to Yas Marina, every circuit is scaled to feel like the real thing: Monaco is tight, Jeddah is long, Spa is fast. Take the lights and fight a 22-car grid through 3, 5, 8 or 12 laps. A REAL CHAMPIONSHIP Pick your livery, race under your own name and number, and work through the season round by round. Points, standings and results carry over, and you can start a fresh season any time. OPPONENTS THAT LEARN The AI paces itself to your own lap times, so races stay close whether it's your first lap or your fiftieth. Drivers have form that changes every weekend, so the podium is never a foregone conclusion. Easy, Normal and Hard are real steps, not a slider. DRIVING THAT FEELS RIGHT Progressive steering with trail-braking. A boost with a reserve that refills over a lap, for passing and defending. A reaction-time start: jump the lights and you bog down with a penalty; nail them and you launch. Track limits and collision penalties you can switch off. PRIVATE RACES WITH FRIENDS Invite Game Center friends to a lobby, choose the track and settings, fill the grid with bots or keep it humans only, and race live. Up to 16 friends per race. LAP RECORDS Every session's best lap goes to a per-circuit Game Center leaderboard. Beat your friends at every track on the calendar. MAKE IT YOURS Your Game Center name or a racer name of your own, a race number, a helmet, a livery. Three liveries, three helmets and the first five circuits are free; the rest come as one-off packs, no subscriptions and no ads. RETRO, PROPERLY Pixel art, chiptune music, haptics on every curb and contact, painted grid boxes, a synthesized engine that revs through eight gears. Portrait, one hand, nothing tracked.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RetroGP! at none against Scooter Heroes's shown. RetroGP! also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 11 months). Scooter Heroes's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
