Hello everyone!


The news you've been waiting for is finally here! 


After years of chaos, cucumbers, and questionable physics, Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu has officially launched into Early Access 🙌🙌🙌



Nippon Marathon 2: Daijoubu is everything you loved about the original — just bigger, smoother, and even more bizarre. You’ll race across Japan, fling fruit at your friends, dodge hazards you definitely weren’t prepared for, and yes… Sora the Troll is back with brand‑new commentary to roast every glorious mistake you make.



What’s in the Early Access Launch?

  • Three brand‑new stages set across exaggerated Japanese locations

  • Fully revamped graphics and physics

  • Create‑a‑Contestant mode for crafting your own beautiful-ly cursed racer

  • A new Photo Mode with free‑cam controls for capturing mid‑action chaos

  • A brand new, deadly melee weapon in the form of the Whirling Cucumber

  • Fresh new commentary from Sora the Troll

  • New CPU difficulty modes for solo play


This is just the start of the race, as we’ll be adding more stages, more contestants, more weapons, more chaos and even online multiplayer throughout Early Access. 


Animated game scene with colorful ramps and barrels. Characters compete on a pink obstacle course. Spectators cheer from the side.
