Chiki Chiki Machine Mou Race

Chiki Chiki Machine Mou Race is a racing game for the Game Boy based on the 1968 cartoon show Wacky Races (which in turn was heavily inspired by the 1965 movie The Great Race). The game was developed and published by Atlus in 1992 for the Japanese market only and became one of Famitsu's lowest rated games of all time.

Each character has unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses. There are also random items and invisible obstacles scattered along the racing track. Many alternative routes are also available, but only a few of them are useful enough to be called shortcuts. Characters can attack each other and block the path to gain an advantage.

This game runs extremely slowly, and the random nature of the gameplay makes it even more unbearable. However, playing on an emulator at three times the normal speed, the experience was actually kind of decent, but still too long.

In this longplay, I win the tournament with each character to show their abilities and endings. At the end of the game, I show an easter egg input code which makes the characters in their selection screen spin, and then the level select code, which lets you begin from any stage in a 0-32 range, but does not shorten the game (you still need to play 33 races to see the ending).
