How it plays
The player views the action from a third-person perspective and controls specialized vehicles or suits to demolish buildings, bridges, and other obstructions ahead of the missile convoy. Each stage presents a route-clearing objective under a strict time limit.
Vehicles have different movement and attack properties. Players must choose the right machine, manage momentum, avoid hazards, and sometimes switch vehicles at designated points. Completing stages earns medals based on performance and unlocks additional missions, vehicles, and challenge content.
Plan your run
Learn each vehicle’s strengths before attempting a fast run. Heavy machines are effective against large structures, while agile vehicles are better for narrow routes and precise demolition.
Plan the route before destroying optional targets, keep momentum through turns, and restart quickly after a major mistake. Improving times and collecting medals opens more of the game’s advanced content.

Blast Corps is a vehicle-based action and puzzle game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. The premise centers on a runaway transport carrying a nuclear missile: players must clear a safe route before the convoy reaches an obstacle and detonates. Rather than relying on conventional shooting, the game emphasizes demolition, careful driving, and fast decisions across varied vehicles and environments. Its large collection of destruction-focused stages, optional objectives, and medal system gives it substantial replay value. Critics praised its inventive machines, demanding level design, and technical ambition, although its later missions can be punishing. It is widely regarded as one of the Nintendo 64’s distinctive action games.
