Can a 9 year old enjoy this game or are they too small? null

I think from a size perspective, they will be mostly fine. However, unlike other Arcade1up machines, this does not offer an “extra lives” button to help you get through the game. Currently, it’s still like the original arcade with constant checkpoints throughout the course that if you don’t reach, the race is over. And like the original arcade, these time goals are difficult to reach. I’m sure with lots of practice a 9 year old can get good enough to handle it, but I’m sure it would be very frustrating initially. It’s a lot to spend on a game that your child might have difficulty getting to finish even one lap. I’m hoping there’s a patch in the future to allow you to add more time because it’s difficult for even me.

My 8-year-old enjoys it and can play comfortably. His eyes are about the height of the screen, and he can easily operate the steering wheel and pedals. Keep in mind that these games are somewhat difficult (you won't make it far if you just keep the pedal to the floor), so young children may get frustrated easily without some help.

My average size 7 year old plays almost daily

My six-year-old grandson plays it with no problem standing up and it’s on the riser.

I think that a 9 year old would have no problem with this cabinet. It's alot of fun!

They can enjoy it. My 4 year old can play it just fine. His a little short but he can still enjoy it.
