I loved this game, I named my first pet rabbit Hip Hop after being inspired by this game! Thanks for the blast from the past, you have such a soothing voice!
Everything about this game is so random and bizarre- The fact there is no racing, it was a late release (didn't know that!) and that it exists at all, really, given the age of the cartoon. I agree that they should have put a racing stage at the end of each level! That would have fleshed it out better probably and made the game make a little more sense! I still like it alright though. Anyway, great video and congrats on 50K!
@@Cannotbetamed1 FWIW, Wacky Races actually was on Saturday morning cartoons at the time. I forget the name exactly - I'll look it up in a second - But Hannah Barbara had a block of programming where they would run Wacky Races shorts. There was a small resurgence of old cartoons and kids shows around this time, many of which got games on the NES. Felix the Cat, The Ghostbusters (the one with a gorilla, not the one based on the movies that passive aggressively added "Real" to the title even if the movies came out 25 years later), Flintstones and Jetsons etc.. Okay - found it. The Block of Programming was called "Wake, Rattle and Roll". It was syndicated in 1990, and then went to the Disney Channel from '91 to '94 and renamed "Jump, Rattle and Roll" The Wacky Races segment was called "Fender Bender 500", and while Dick and Muttley remained the focus, it was updated to include other Hanna Barbara regulars as its racers, like Yogi Bear and Booboo or Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss in place of the original 60s and 70s cast. This game was released at about the time that it made the jump to the Disney Channel. If I had to guess, they had a game already in production and modified and reskinned it in an attempt to get a little bit more attention (though it's odd that they didn't update the racers or name). Looking at their library of games, Rockin' Cats was also released 6 months before Wacky Races and has enough similarities to suggest it was built with the same... what amounts to an "engine" and some assets as well.
Wacky Races was one of my fav Hanna-Barbara toons as a kid. It would make a great property to make a mario cart type game, doesn't make sense why they would make a platformer with the franchise. On the plus side the game looks solidly designed, no unintentional flicker in the sprites like some NES games. Great content as usual Pam.
@@battledwarf8872 I wouldn't say it didn't happen. Wacky Races did have a few genuine Mario Kart-style racing games. One of them was released in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast, and an 8-bit version was released for the Game Boy Color that same year.
I always liked Wacky Races the TV show. I was glad to see they kept Mutly's classic snicker in the game. I agree with your thought that this game was not better because attention was focused on the SNES. Also, belated grats on 50k subs...50.5k now!
The map screen looks like it was handed to an office intern back in Japan for localization.Here's a few more area names off the top of my head. A - Hotdog Cowboy B - Joe Salaryman U.S.A. C - Racing Car Astronaut
I loved those old Hanana Barbara cartoons from the 60s-80s. Scooby was my favorite, but Muttley always made me laugh. This game looks like Mario 3 with different characters.
Just happened upon your videos about three weeks ago and I've really liked them. It's been fun to see things I like reflected back (the Kingdom games, Compile shooters, Rayman, Beyond Good and Evil, progressive values in general, etc). I've also enjoyed learning about the real tea party. Canada's Tea Party is much more fun than the one I've experienced here in Kansas. Thanks for all the great game videos!
I remember growing up a fan of the cartoon, and renting this game sometime in the early 90s, only to be "furious" that it wasn't a racing game but a platformer (children get pissed off at the dumbest things.) I distinctly remember pitching such a fit that my mom took the game back early and rented a second one. I don't think I ever played more of it, but I'm glad to see it was a decent platformer in the least. I'd love to see a Wacky Races movie sometime in the future. Perhaps with the new Scooby-Doo relaunch and the inclusion of Dirk Dastardly that will be the "Avengers" of the Hanna-Barbera movie universe!
@@Cannotbetamed1 it had its own characters, but I especially liked when they included people from all over Hanna Barbera, such as Yogi, Huckleberry Hound, the Flintstones, and others. It's worth checking out!
You're doing a great job at digging up games that I totally missed. I consider myself quite knowledgeable of the NES, but you have proven me wrong several times 🙂 keep doing that!
Something tells me there's a story behind this game. A late release of game based on an old and obscure cartoon, of which the gameplay and levels bare no resemblance to. This was either a last minute cash grab by Atlus, where a late developed game got reskinned to the only license they could obtain at the time just to sell based on familiarity of the cartoon. Or it could have been one of those development hell scenarios we're becoming all too familiar with. More than likely the first though. *Also, love the unicorn picture behind you. You got great taste*
As a kid i thought the Laff O'Lympics was the best cartoon ever as it had a bunch of Hanna Barbara characters all together, Muttley and Dastardly included. Then Harvey Birdman aired and dethroned Laff Olympics.
The ones in Laff-a-lympics aren’t Muttley and Dastardly, but Mumbly and Dread Baron. Mumbly appeared in another cartoon before that and he wasn’t a villain but a detective dog. He was put in Laff because Muttley was co-owned with other company so he and Dastardly couldn’t appear there.
I like the fact that Muttley is based on Peter Falk’s character in The Great Race. Of course, Dastardly is based back on Jack Lemon’s character from the same movie.
I noticed you used the word "fine" a lot in this video. John Riggs seems to use "fine" too, has that become the go to word for reviews. I'm genuinely curious and mean no offense. 🧐🌞🤍
Games from the end of the NES's lifespan are such a mixed bag but I really enjoy seeing what developers were doing. Some were using their knowledge to create some great games with some nice hidden tricks up their sleeves while most just kind of rested on their laurels.
Oh Man, I love this game, it's based on one of my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoons next to The Flintstones and Tom and Jerry and Scooby-Doo and The Jetsons
I vaguely remember seeing this game being covered by magazines back in the 90s, I never realized Atlus made this one. It goes to show how much they've changed and evolved, from this to their most current titles like Catherine and the Persona games. BTW, congrats on the 50k subscribers.
Oh, I didn't realize that Muttley and Dick Dastardly were from a racing cartoon. I remember them from the cartoon called "Stop the Pigeon", where they're trying to catch/kill a carrier pigeon in a way that almost feels the same as Tom & Jerry. This game looks kinda cute, if simple. I don't believe I played it, but I do remember the Jetsons one, distinctly because I was playing it around the time the family dog had to get put down. :(
I always wanted this game because I thought it could be fun racing with these characters a la Speed Racer on the SNES! Boy, was I wrong about what this game actually was about.
I need to play more of this one. I finally got a copy of it recently but I didn't get too far into it. I think a combination of the cartoon not being very popular and the late NES release made everybody overlook this one.
Alternating between platformer levels and Spyhunter-esque levels would have made this game really stand out, IMO. Having the platformer levels end with acquiring a new tool/weapon for use in the racing levels, for example. It's a shame they didn't get more ambitious with it. PS: I feel like an idiot, I just noticed you change the picture on the wall behind you, lol.
Oh my god, this game. I played this but hear me out, i live in Paraguay and bought an NES cartridge that had three pokemon games, and one of those WAS this game, but someone change all the sprites! And instead of Muttley you would play as Blastoise! . It's wild to see the real game now!, i wonder if the other two games where just hacks of other NES games. I don't have that cartridge anymore but maybe there's a rom somewhere. Nice video :D -subs-
@@Cannotbetamed1 Hey :D i found the games! They are called Pokemon red, blue and green but for NES and they are all hacks or just skins for famicon or another nes games

I have a lot of nostalgia for this one, I used to rent it all the time when I was little. I want to add it to the collection one day if I can get the right price
Don't think that'll happen... Id love to have it as well.. there's at least ten listings on eBay for around $500+ that just sit because no one will pay it and the greedy sellers won't take much less... It's a sad, sad state we're in with retro gaming.
I honestly wonder how many people got this game expecting a racing game. Especially considering how old the cartoon was by that point, I bet several people didn't understand the game at all.
So it's a platformer based on a racing comedy show? How odd. Still, Dick Dastardly slots into a warm slot in my childhood. He's based on Professor Fate, no?
I was never interested in retro gaming, I grew up playing some SNES but don’t have too many memories with it or anything that came before. However, your videos have made these games so fun and appealing to me, which has never happened, so thank you! I truly look forward to all of your new posts. Also congrats on 50k!! Happy to hop on board 😄
Jogo da minha infância alugava nas locadoras quase todo final de semana esse walcky Races e tiny toon dois jogos preferido, hoje tenho 44 anos ainda jogo eles ;)
While I thought this was an out-of-date title back then, it surprised me even more when they made a Wii Wacky Races game. For a short run cartoon, it’s gotten a lot of life in gaming.
I've seen the cartoon a lot (especially on Cartoon Network in the late 90's). I'm surprised it only exist of one season. Of course there was also this other cartoon with Muttley where they had to stop the pigeon.
I got the money on the game by the way through the e-transfer so thanks for that. Thankfully too the NES game you guys got is much better then this weird title here. Cool review!
The fact there's little "racing" makes me wonder if it's one which Atlus had in development, and reworked having gotten the license for cheap. I know there were also a bunch of titles based on the Hanna-Barbera characters released for home computers in Europe around this time… which makes me wonder if they were just in the spirit of licensing out the characters on a whim… Still, it does look playable enough, even if it lacks any real staying power.
Looks like this was not originally meant to be a game based on Wacky Races. They had probably just made significant progress on an unknown platformer, then they picked up the Wacky Races license and decided to change the characters, collectable items, and story accordingly. Easier then starting another game up from scratch, and this would explain why there is no racing in the game whatsoever.
Do you do requests? You should check out Galaxy 5000. A little known racing game from Activation that's a lot like RC Pro-Am. It's really good and somewhat rare.
Another good review, Pam. You cover a lot of NES stuff. I think I’ll skip this for the time being though, I have plenty of stuff I already need to play or review! Still want to get to Spy Hunter 2 and Give Zen another go.
I actually have beaten and permanently retired this game. I got my enjoyment out of it because even if it is a very basic unmemorable platformer that is incredibly easy I actually found its gameplay pretty tight and responsive for the most part. The levels themselves did not give me any problems and sometimes the boss fights took a few lives to beat them in order to get their patterns memorized. It's a pretty simple one and done game and for as easy as it was I certainly got my enjoyment out of it.
I enjoyed it too and the lack of difficulty was a big part of that. But when I sat down to write about it I had very little to say, it’s just a very simple game.

Hey Erin
WOW! As a Hanna-Barbera fan, did not know there was a 'Wacky Races' video game on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Wacky Races was one of my fav Hanna-Barbara toons as a kid. It would make a great property to make a mario cart type game, doesn't make sense why they would make a platformer with the franchise. On the plus side the game looks solidly designed, no unintentional flicker in the sprites like some NES games. Great content as usual Pam.
Wacky Races would be a perfect theme for a Mario Kart style game
Could be the exact reason why that didn't happen. :)
@@battledwarf8872 I wouldn't say it didn't happen. Wacky Races did have a few genuine Mario Kart-style racing games. One of them was released in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast, and an 8-bit version was released for the Game Boy Color that same year.
I love it when he laughs. Sooooo good. Thanks for another one to try out. You really know how to pick em. Good job.
Thanks!
When I saw the name “Wacky Races” I was not expecting to see a platformer. It still looks like fun. Might have to check it out!

Wacky Races; the original Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This is what I am subscribed for. Great review and very informative thank you

This game has some Adventure Island vibes to it.

This is a really fun review Pam! I can identify with Muttley, as I am also oddly buoyant 😆
That may come in handy at times
I really loved the Taito games for SNES: Flintstones & Jetsons. Both are awesome!
The racing game for the Game Boy Color was quite good!
Interesting info 😎
It's one of those strangely satisfying games that I like to play when I'm tired.
There's no racing, but it does look pretty wacky. The music is unmistakably NES. Thanks again!
Imagine Pam talking about retro cartoons and series. That'd be fun? I think so.

Man, if I had seen this and got it as a kid I would have been so mad. Loved racing games since the Atari
I think I'm going to like this channel I'm glad I found it
Maybe the boss fights could have been races with new mechanics for every fight? Where you shoot bombs at each other while racing on a crazy course.
That’s a good idea
@@Cannotbetamed1 Thanks
All the bosses are cars from the show! I see the Ant Hill Mob! Is Penelope Pitstop in this?
