Developed by Climax Studios and published by Lego Media, LEGO Racers arrived on the Game Boy Color in 2000 as a racing game.

It landed about 2 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2000 include Wario Land 3, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Grand Theft Auto 2.

It is part of the LEGO series; on the GBC you can also try LEGO Alpha Team, LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge and Lego Stunt Rally. The series also appears on other systems with Lego Racers (N64) and Drome Racers (GBA). Climax Studios also made Airforce Delta for the GBC.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

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 GBC 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 LEGO Racers 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.
