Wacky Races

Genre: Racing
This is a very early mode-7 racer based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that aired in the late 1960s. The game has a large variety of stages, but there is no collision detection, and the opponent racers are not programmed to stay on the track. It looks like it would have been designed to be a Mario Kart clone, complete with weapons and stage hazards, but none of that has been included in this prototype. There is a near final prototype of the Genesis version of the game, which shares many of the same graphics, notably with the background and cars. The layout of the stages is quite a bit more like Mario Kart in the SNES prototype. Of course, it is entirely possible that the final SNES version would have had the same design as the Genesis version if it was completed.

Game Boy Color Wacky Races game, released to coincide with the release of the Wacky Races game for home consoles and the PC.

Based on the classic Wacky Races cartoon, this game puts players in the role not of a racer but of a gambler. Players choose different races and gamble on the outcome. Players can pick two different drivers they expect to come out on top. The racing itself is presented via prerendered CG cutscenes with some branching, so players' guesses aren't purely a matter of memorizing the cutscenes. With the money players earn, they can take part in the "trip" mode where they travel through the world of Wacky Races collecting items.
