Looney Tunes Racing is a kart-racing game released in December 2000 for the Game Boy Color. It was published by Infogrames.
Gameplay[]
The controls are standard for the genre — accelerate, brake, handbrake, fire weapon, and steer. Analog control is also available.
The available weapons are slightly unusual for the genre — instead of random pickups as in most games, racers collect tokens which are used to charge various weapons. Six levels are available, and only the topmost level may be activated.
Also available are environmental hazards, triggered by driving through an 'ACME gag-activation arch', generally aimed further ahead on the track.
Game Modes[]
Championship[]
The game features a normal season ('Championship') mode with three levels, each with four (Rascal), five (Stinker), or six (Despicable) races. All tracks are unique. Each race features 6 racers, and awards ten points for first, six for second, and four for third. Fourth, fifth, and last place earn no points. If the player gets fourth, fifth, or last place, they will be required to use a "continue" (they get three continues) and repeat the track. If the player uses all three continues and gets fourth, fifth, or last again, then they have to start the championship over from the first track.
Winning a championship unlocks a bonus level and a character. Winning the Despicable championship also leads you to either a specific ending movie (for one of the starting characters) or a generic showing of the trophy (for the hidden ones). The ending movie shows the results of your character's wish, awarded by Smokey the genie (although he always congratulates them for winning 'the race', not the series).
Single Race[]
One can also race on individual tracks, unlocked once they are won in 'Championship' mode. Also found here are three bonus levels won in 'Championship' mode.
Acme Challenge[]
From the game: Complete all fifteen challenges to reopen the museum. Race your best for extra bonuses and secrets!
This consists of fifteen special races, divided into three 'floors' of five events each. The last event in each is a race on a short track against a secret character (Porky, Elmer, or Gossamer). The other four events range from collection (gather a certain number of icons around an arena), to special conditions (no brakes, for example), to time trials.
Winning each event recovers an artifact from the museum. Each event can end with failure or a medal for success: bronze (minimum win), silver (slightly tougher), or gold (toughest). Winning a medal on each event unlocks the next floor; winning a medal on all events on the third floor unlocks the 'Challenge' ending movie, where the Acme museum is (temporarily) reopened.
