Wacky Races was an Atlus platformer for the NES. A Game Boy Color/Dreamcast/PlayStation 2 game of the same name which came out in 2000, but was published by Infogrames and was, in fact, a racing game. It is based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Wacky Races starring Muttley and Dick Dastardly.

The player controls Muttley through three different areas (Hip Hop, Splish Splash and Go Go America) in typical platform action. By collecting 100 diamonds, Muttley gains an extra life and by finding a bone, he can switch out another one of his weapons, adding a slight strategy element to the game.
