Wacky Races: Series
built 279 days ago
Wacky Races is an animated television series from Hanna-Barbera, about a group of 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies, with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer." The cartoon was unusual in the large number of regular characters, twenty-four in total: the twenty-three people spread among the 11 race cars, plus the unseen (and never identified) race announcer. Another unusual feature of the series is that the stars of the show are the villains as opposed to the heroes.

The International Wacky Racing Championship, abbreviated to Wacky Races or the IWR Championships, is the highest class of single-seat open-wheel formula auto racing. It is a worldwide sport, involving an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors Championship, and is the most expensive sport in the world, as annual team budgets average in the hundreds of millions of Australian dollars. It is based around a series of races (19 in 2005), known as grand pricks, on custom-constructed courses or closed-off street circuits.

Wacky Races is comprised of three different “races”, known as Hip Hop, Splish Splash and Go Go America. Of course I’m using the word “races” loosely here, since each race is really just a series of boring platforming levels that don’t make any sense whatsoever. One minute you’re hopping through a maze in the sky getting spat at by clouds, and the next minute you’re walking through a city and getting punched in the face by an angry pig. You’re allowed to do each of the three races in any order you want, even though the story cutscenes are triggered by beating each race, so if you don’t do them from left to right you see the story cutscenes all out of order and they manage to make even less sense than the rest of the game.

As the name would imply, WACKY RACES for the PC is a truly zany title. The game, which is based on the cartoon of the same name, offers up some fast, and often silly, racing. Players can race one of the popular characters from the show, each with their own unique vehicle. WACKY RACES is a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it offers up some seriously fun racing.

Essentially, that's exactly how Wacky Races the game works. It's a 3D battle-racing collect-em-up offering the chance to control one of 11 characters and their special vehicles. The challenge for players is not only to navigate their way over the finish line, but to do it by whatever means possible. There are short cuts to look out for, and an all important weapons to collect. Power ups are scattered across the race tracks, and on top of the standard kit of thunder clouds, oil slicks, and homing missiles, each vehicle has a specialty weapon, such as Serg Blast's Army Surplus tank and it's bouncy battle bombs, and the Slag Brothers Boulder Mobile with its deadly boomerangs.
