Wacky Races: Mad Motors is a PlayStation 2 game based on the animated series.
A Japanese-only racing game for Game Boy based on the Wacky Races cartoon.
You take on the role of Dastardly and Mutley from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series in this action title with superficial racing overtones. Your aim is to complete each course in a particular position, which is achieved either by waiting for them to suffer enough damage to drop out of the race, or by inflicting that damage yourself. Your car is armed with a forward-shooting arrow to impale the opposition cars, and deal with the many hazards the races throw at you, including boulders and rabbits, which can be taken out for points.

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.
