Product Description
Wacky Races is an action racing game like no other, with fun-filled environments, crazy cars and hilarious characters. The game features all the characters and cars from the TV series including old favorites: Turbo Terrific driven by Peter Perfect, the Ant Hill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb, Penelope Pitstop, and the Mean Machine driven by Dick Dastardly and his sidekick, Muttley. Players join Dick Dastardly and the gang, racing across a variety of action-packed and colorful cross-country rallies from the TV series. Racers watch out for traps and speed ahead to win the ultimate title of World's Wackiest Racer! Wacky Widgets are collected during the race to gain 'Wacky Powers,' as well as a character's super-special ?Way Out Wacky" power, which can be used to gain the upper hand over sly opponents.

 dont let the great characters fool you.. November 6, 2008
If you are going to get anything associted with this cartoon, get the complete series of this cartoon instead. Chances are you will enjoy that more than you will not enjoy playing this game. This is one of the most confusing racing games I have ever played. It scrolls from right to left which makes it difficult to tell where you are on the track and has mini games that should be simple but are incredibly difficult to complete.
Do yourself a favor and get any Hanna-Barbera cartoon instead of this game. You will be glad you avoided this confusing mess of a game and got and enjoyable cartoon instead.

The Idea of this game is cool. I bought this game hoping to be able to drive the cars from behind the wheel, you have to steer the car fom different camera angles out of your control from a tird person view.
The view of the course is limited and often confusing with so many cars in a small screen shot. The controls are difficult at best. try to steer your car while using a "special" to wreck your apponent, you will crash yourself. The "Traps" set by dd are the same 4 no matter how far you advance.
rent it, don't buy it.
 Return of a Wacky Classic June 30, 2008

For those of you that don't know (or at least don't have the Boomerang channel), Wacky Races is a classic Hanna-Barbera series where a bunch of original characters race to the finish in their souped-up vehicles and win the prize in all sorts of amazing locations. It's also the series where the fiendish Dick Dastardly and the fair Penelope Pitstop got their first big break before they each got their own show.
"Crash and Dash" has seemed to capture the amazing feel of this series by putting you in the driver's seat of the Wacky Racers like Peter Perfect, the Slag Brothers, Professor Pat Pending, and the Ant Hill Mob. Even the race courses are also freely based on the show, too ! (i.e. "Oil's Well That Ends Well", "Why Oh Why Wyoming", and "Beat the Clock to Yellow Rock")
In this game, you'll crash, dash, and soar past the competition with special Wacky Widgets that will give you amazing Wacky Powers to use to your advantage. There are three different Wacky Powers for each racer plus a special Way-Out Wacky Power that will be even more useful in the race if you know how to work the Wii remote. Besides the Widgets scattered all over each track, keep an eye out for special pickups of character bios and their vehicles usually when you wreck an opponents car. Also, be sure you'll be able to earn a few Mad Dash Cogs during the race. You'll need 'em for the final stretch of the race.
Oops, I almost forgot. Look out for the sinister Dick Dastardly and his sniveling cur Muttley driving past you in their Mean Machine. They'll attempt to sabotage your position in first with a trap or two. Be prepared for those traps because you're gonna need skill to get past them.
All in all, this is one racing game that is real easy to enjoy whether you're a fan of the original cartoon or not. Trust me, it's a real blast - until you get blasted yourself.
