 Return of a Wacky ClassicJun 30, 2008
By Tim Coogan
"CN fan"
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.

 gets old fast.Aug 13, 2008
By Tim Cote
"tim"
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.

Fun gameFeb 06, 2011

First time I played it was awful.
But I gave it another try and it was fun.
With the wii you make the car go faster as fast as you shake your controller.
So you get a workout.

and here they are the most daffy drivers ever to whorl there wheels in the wacky races!Jun 17, 2010
by the way im 11.This is an awesome video game. it is very fun for a family too because it has multiplayer and the content is very good for kids. in this game 10 wacky racers are playable. which one isnt? Dick Dastardly! even though you can get his biography and his car you cant drive it. thats why i came up with an awesome way to pretend to be dastardly. you put your tag as DD or DDM for dick dastardly or dick dastardly and muttley. then you pick a wacky racer (red max and pat pending are cool because red max has a mustache like dastardly and pat pending has a shrink ray that almost crosses the line of cheating.) and try to wreck the other cars. all other wacky racers are playable though. the game is short though. however it has amazing replay value. as it has seemingly endless unlockables. plus when you are done with that you will still have fun doing a wacky race. me and my dad play this alot. we both love it! wacky races for dreamcast is also really good and if you like this you should get that. wacky races needs to have an improvement in playable characters like if you where able to play as miis and dastardly it whould be almost perfect. if you get it you will not regret it!

Wacky Races is possibly one of the most fun videogames ever!Jun 14, 2010
in this game you race across different areas that are from the episodes of the show. dick dastardly will set traps for you and you must pass the traps or end up in last place for a short while. this is also a great family game. 4 people can play at the same time.
