Official description
Grab the wheel and hit the gas! For the first time ever, race up to 4 players simultaneously with Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road. Based on the #1 arcade game, this all-out dirt-grinding race is now available for the NES. Watch out for the mud holes, jumps and other obstacles on the 8 different Stadium tracks. From match-offs to spin-outs, Super Off-Road is as close to genuine short-course racing as you can get!

NES-WU-USA published 1990-04 in the USA
NES-WU-? published 1001-03-14 in Europe
This game was not published in Japan.
1 player, 2 players, 3 players, or 4 players simultaneous.
Based on the arcade game. The arcade game was limited to 3 human players and a computer player. In this version, there are always 4 trucks racing and all of them can be human players. The players race around stadium tracks full of obstacles that simulate off-road conditions. Nitros (1-5 each) and money ($10k-$40k each) appear on the course. Players also earn cash for placing. In between races, each player can upgrade their acceleration, suspension, top speed, tires, and stock up on nitros. Coming in last results in a game over, once you've passed race 15. Every track fits on the screen and there is no scrolling. The view is vaguely dimetric 3D. Obstacles do slow down the trucks and in rare cases can even cause an explode if the crash is violent enough.
Controls
Left/Right, rotate the truck left or right.
A, Accelerate
A released, Brake
A, choose the option indicated by the cursor
A+B, gain a nitro speed boost
B, waste a nitro
Select, choose the option indicated by the cursor
Start, pause the game
This game was advertised as the first 4-player simultaneous action videogame for home systems in Europe and the USA. But I'm pretty sure Atari was first in both countries with Warlords
