this game appropriately feels like daffy duck, in his clampett form, was a proficient game designer and made this. just a constant barrage of ridiculous power-ups, unique and sometimes troll-like challenges, ass-clenching track design, breakneck mechanics, bomb bigbeat music and a ton of shit going on in the background. i think there should be more licensed racing games like this and not just "look we made mario kart but really shitty"
The folks at Infogrames managed to strike cartoon gold when they made Wacky Races, a fun and entertaining racer that had the cartoon's sheer madness down pat and a couple of months later it was Bugs Bunny and co's turn to take to the racing field - twice in fact. One on the PlayStation where they raced in regular karts and the second on Dreamcast where they had their asses hauled to outer God Damn space.
It's a strange idea at first but it manages to all come together to form an entertaining racer that happens to be just as good as Wacky Races was with it's similar cel-shaded art style and an array of crazy gags to deal with such as falling pianos, exploding bombs and even pink elephants because why the hell not?
This title even made it's way onto the PS2 as well in 2002 (although unlike the Wacky Races port which only came out in Europe, this did see a North American release as well) and hot dang, the music in this is fan freaking tastic. They didn't need to go all out for a game featuring a bunch of Warner Bros characters racing for the finish line but this has some catchy as hell tunes that still sticks in my mind today.
It seemed when it came to Warner licensed titles, Infogrames really had it good especially on the racing front.
