About this product

Product Information

Remember the old Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Wacky Races? Postmodern revisionism has given the obscure show a new lease on life, thanks to the Cartoon Network's retro-programming. And what better way to celebrate Wacky Races' unlikely resurrection than with a video game tie-in, 2000 style?<br><br>Wacky Races is one of the first entries in the kart racing genre to grace the screen of the color handheld system. Get behind the wheel of one of eight vehicles, including four hidden ones. At the start of the game, you can choose Penelope Pitstop's Compact Pussycat, Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth's Buzz Wagon, the Ant Hill Mob's Bullitt-Proof Bomb, and the Slag Brothers' prehistoric Boulder Mobile. <br><br>Advance far enough into the game and you'll unlock Wacky Races' star players: Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly in their Army Surplus Special, the dashing Peter Perfect with his Turbo Terrific, Red Max in his Crimson Haybailer, and of course, the oh-so-evil Dick Dastardly and his mangy sidekick Muttley in the menacing Mean Machine.<br><br>There are four modes of play in Wacky Races: Arcade mode, Championship mode, Time Trial mode, and Endurance mode. The Arcade mode pits you against the seven other drivers across three groups of three tracks each. Each track takes place in a particular U.S. state, with a desert backdrop for Nevada, snowy peaks in Alaska, and so on. Rank among the top three in a given race, and you'll advance to the next track. Complete three tracks, and you'll earn a cup before advancing again to the next group. There are nine tracks total in the Arcade mode.<br><br>Championship mode has you racing to earn points for finishing well. At the end of the nine-track circuit, the racer with the highest number of points wins the event. The Time Trial mode sets you in competition with your most ruthless adversary: yourself. Try to beat your fastest time completing each track. Finally, the Endurance mode rewards daredevil driving by eliminating the last player to cross each checkpoint.<br><br>Along the tracks, you'll come across numerous bonus items that may give you a temporary advantage, or put your opponents at a serious disadvantage. There are three offensive bonus items and four defensive items. The turbo and super turbo items will give you a quick blast of speed to zip past your competitors. The ghost item makes you invisible to your enemies and allows you to pass through obstacles. <br><br>Meanwhile, the coveted invincibility token makes you invulnerable to all hazards, as well as blasts to kingdom come all who get in your path. Offensive bonus items include two forms of rockets: burning and freezing, and a little number called the Ultimate Weapon. Execute this, and every opponent on the screen will be struck by a bolt of lightning.<br><br>You've got more to fret about than just your rivals, however. There are numerous hazards in the road like oil slicks and land mines that can seriously hinder your progress. Learn to avoid these obstacles, and meanwhile, take advantage of strategically placed ramps.<br><br>The options menu allows you to toggle the game's difficulty setting, switch between kilometers and miles, and even choose the language: Spanish, French, and English. Wacky Races also features passwords for saving your progress.

  • A lot of fun, with colorful, fast and addictive driving action.

    I'm a big fan of the Game Boy and also old cartoons, so this was a natural fit for me. The game is a cross between Road Rash and Mario Kart, where you zoom through different locations picking up speed boosts and weapons and shooting the other drivers. Whenever you see that a game is developed by Fernando Velez and Guillaume Dubail, you know it's going to be technically amazing. Wacky Races is no exception, the graphic effects are incredible compared to other racing games for the GBC. The road looks almost like the "mode 7" effects found in 16 bit systems, and the roadside obstacles and character sprites scale smoothly as you pass them on the road. The characters are well drawn and the backgrounds are colorful and really add to the cartoon atmosphere. The music is fun and bouncy, it ...

  • Wacky Races (Game Boy Color) Nintendo GBC GAME

    This is one of the rarest of rarest NES games, and as seems to be the case, a very hard to find GBC game as well...the games are kinda rough nowadays, but they were very ahead of their time and no one seemed to buy the Game Boy Color...some great games though...enjoy!
