Umamusume mod perfectly puts anime horse girls into Need for Speed Underground 2

An Umamusume fan has used AI to add Umamusume’s anime horse girls to Need For Speed Underground 2, replacing the game's iconic race cars with the likes of Haru Urara and Kitasan Black. 

Unofficial video game crossovers have been getting a lot of attention this year, with mashups that combine Minecraft and Skyrim, Mario and Elden Ring, and Portal and Half-Life. 

Another game that has been hot on this list is Umamusume, the viral mobile game that transforms real-life horses into anime girls. 

Following hot on the heels of Resident Evil Requiem’s Mihono Bourbon mod, one Uma fan has added the game’s fan-favorite horse girls to the streets of Need For Speed Underground 2, and it’s just as surreal as you can imagine.

Umamusume horse girls turn to street racing in new mod

Watching Umamusume’s horse girls dash along the highways of Need for Speed Underground 2 isn’t exactly something fans expected to see. However, one fan has used AI to vibe code 36 horse girls from Umamusume into the iconic street racing game, allowing them to race around Bayview as Special Week, Oguri Cap, and other iconic characters in LAN races.

“The plan was to swap in two or three characters. Then my friends joined me for some offline LAN races, and I somehow ended up changing the whole roster and adding a bunch of other stuff before I managed to stop myself,” writes creator @CyberNekoYuki.

Although the mod isn’t publicly available, clips have started to go viral across social media, with fans discussing how underground street racing could fit into the Umamusume universe.

“Illegal street racing like this seems pretty plausible in the Umamusume world. Kids who couldn't get into Tracen Academy and fell on hard times, or kids who got expelled, with spectators placing bets and stuff,” wrote one commenter.

“It would be very peak if the Umamusume universe had an underground racing circle where outlaw umas raced on public streets at night,” replied another. “There should be an alternate version of Uma where they race in illegal/street races. 

Others joked that it would be amazing to see fan-favorite horse girls like Haru Urara, who famously finished her racing career without a competitive win, speed past her rivals with a little help from some nitrous.

Fans of this more urban take on anime girl racing should definitely keep an eye on Project GT, an upcoming racing game that turns cars into anime girls.
