Developed by Tiertex and published by Activision, Toy Story Racer arrived on the Game Boy Color in 2001 as a racing game.

It landed about 3 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2001 include Pokémon Crystal, Resident Evil Gaiden and Mega Man Xtreme. Among the 73 GBC racing games in our database, it ranks #5 by legacy score.

It is part of the Disney series; on the GBC you can also try Disney's Tarzan, Toy Story 2 and The Emperor's New Groove. The series also appears on other systems with DuckTales (NES) and DuckTales (Game Boy). Tiertex also made A Bug's Life, Stuart Little: The Journey Home and Men in Black: The Series 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)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a story or exploration rather than laps
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Toy Story Racer 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.
