Dash, dodge, and dive through the ultimate Japanese gameshow experience! Up to 4 contestants race through chaotic obstacle courses across Japan, filled with hilarious hazards and obscure obstacles. It’s so crazy, you’ll be shouting ‘Konnichi-what?!’ instead of ‘Konnichiwa!’
Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu is a fast, physical, pick-up and play multiplayer experience where every stumble, dive, and melon toss can turn the tide. Whether you’re chasing victory or just trying to survive the next octopus attack, every race is unpredictable, hilarious, and unforgettable.
Built from the ground up with tighter controls, better graphics, and brand-new mechanics, NM2 delivers the perfect blend of skill, chaos, and couch rivalry.
Think you can handle Japan's most bizarre sporting event?
Each round is a new opportunity for chaos and mayhem!
Every action contributes to your final score:
When contestants cross the finish line the scores are tallied and the winner is declared.
Every item in Nippon Marathon 2 has multiple uses — offensive, defensive, tactical, or just plain ridiculous. Mastering them is the key to victory.
More items are in development — the chaos will only grow.
Don’t worry, if your friends are too busy playing Generic Live-Service Shooter X you can play against our semi-intelligent bots, they don’t mind when you fling them into the sea!
