Developed by Infogrames, Wacky Races arrived on the Sega Dreamcast as a racing game.
It is part of the Wacky Races series. The series also appears on other systems with Wacky Races (NES) and Wacky Races: Crash and Dash (DS).
Wacky Races is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to race and compete
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the Dreamcast hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a story or exploration rather than laps
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Wacky Races is like
Racing games range from realistic driving to kart racers with weapons and shortcuts. Races are short, making them great for quick sessions and split-screen rivalries.
Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
