Reception
According to the reviewers at Nintendo Power, Wacky Races is just another run-and-jump game that could appeal to those who fondly remember the cartoon and its characters.[5] GamePro's Feline Groove perceived the game as a "fun" adventure that echoes the cartoon, with a difficulty level suitable for the average gamer.[4] Meanwhile, Famicom Tsūshin's reviewers found the gameplay of チキチキマシン猛レース to be standard, claiming that it provided them with only a fifth of the enjoyment they had when playing Super Mario.[1]
