Wacky Races was one of the best yet shortest running Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. Each show was 30 minutes long with 2 races each. Every episode Dick Dastardly and Muttley (The Mean Machine) would desperately try to win by setting traps that always backfired.

Dick Dastardly, Muttley, Peter Perfect, Penelope Pitstop, and the whole gang from WACKY RACES have come to the Game Boy Color. Choose from eight vehicles based on the cars from the television series. Once you have the perfect vehicle, try to finish in third place or better to continue to the next race in the Arcade mode. In Endurance, the player in last place at the end of each lap is eliminated, while the Championship mode has you race through all nine tracks, earning points based on what place you finish in. If you don't like crowded tracks, go as fast as you can on an empty track in the Time Trial mode. No matter what mode you play, you will have to deal with challenging tracks filled with jumps, bonuses and traps. Try to finish in first place with WACKY RACES.

Dick Dastardly continued his villainous career in the Wacky Races spinoff Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. The series was inspired by the 1965 film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and Dastardly's appearance this time was based on the film's villain, Sir Percival Ware-Armitage, played by Terry-Thomas. Dastardly and Muttley, as flying aces, with two other pilots, Zilly a coward who used to hide in his clothes when he was asked to go in his plane, and Klunk, the plane builder, who was speaking a language composed of strange sounds {only Zilly could understand him!}, composed the "Vulture Squadron", which tried constantly to stop a messenger pigeon "Yankee Doodle pigeon" from delivering messages to an opposing army, often with the song "Stop the Pigeon" playing; one typical scene shows the "Vulture Squadron" planes all convenging from different dirrections on "Yankee Doodle Pigeon" but end up crashing into one another-while the bird is unharmed! As in Wacky Races, Dastardly continued to fail miserably at his mission; the nearest the "Vulture Squadron" ever come to completing their mission is in one episode of the series where Dastardly dives from a diving board in to a plane with a bath tub he catches the pigeon but then remembers he can't swim and sinks letting go of the pigeon in the process.
