Now you can give Angelica her comeuppance, help SpongeBob be a winner, or simply see how CatDog manages to drive a racecar. Nicktoons Racing will thrill cartoon fans and gamers alike as it spices up a racing program with twists and turns that are pure Nickelodeon.

Only in this program will you find tracks with giant fingers growing out of pink dirt, power-ups that include the Powdered Toast Man Crouton Launcher (yes, it enables you to launch huge croutons at your opponents), and prizes such as a wheel of cheese. Players can get behind the wheel with and race against 12 Nickelodeon characters, including Tommy from the Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, or Helga from Hey Arnold. There's also a mystery rider in a black car; to uncover his or her (or its!) identity, racers must win on all 12 tracks.

This Windows-only program has three difficulty levels, a feature that allows not-so-great racers to progress towards discovering who or what the mystery rider is. Five game modes include an option for two players to race head to head, a relay option, and a couple of practice options that won't damage trophy standings. Players must win first place on the easier tracks before they can access the more difficult ones. And if players don't have a game pad or joystick, they must race using the arrow keys.

Everything from talcum powder to gritty kitty litter comes into play as racers maneuver their cartoon characters around the bends of these twisted tracks. Our one complaint is that we only get to see the backs of our favorite Nick characters as they speed through their surreal world. (Ages 6 and up) --Anne Erickson

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicktoons Racing, August 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nicktoons Racing (CD-ROM)

"Go Spongebob! Go Spongebob!" Spongebob races down the track and passes Angelica while collecting some power-boosts. Finally, he races past the finish line and wins the crusty crab award. You're computer screen flashes out the words SPONGEBOB 1ST PLACE 2 MINUTES 6 SECONDS. The game Nicktoons Racing allows you to race as your favorite character from Nickelodian on fun-filled tracks. The 3-D gaphics are fabulous and it includes a multi-player mode. The music is great and the voices sound like the ones on the different shows. If you like Nickelodian, this is the game for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wacky, Fun, entertaining, but hard to get working, May 22, 2002

This review is from: Nicktoons Racing (CD-ROM)

I tried 3 different computers and it finally worked.
The first 2 computers had Windows 98 and older video cards.

The machine it works on has an NVidea GForce2 and Windows XP.
The problem is with the either not having very recent video
drivers or not having a compatable video card. The set up
notes give no help.

I don't see an option to use a steering wheel, but it may
work. We used the keyboard.

You can race alone, with 5 other characters or against
another person sitting at the same computer. In 2 player
mode you can race against 4 other characters.

After picking a character, you race around one of 12 different
tracks fashioned after one of the Nicktoon shows, picking up surprises and jumping on fast launch pads.

The surprises let you launch an attack or defense. None
are violent. One lets you drop green goo on the ground
so when someone else passes over it, they get stuck.

The driving is easy so you can concentrate on the fun part of the game, that is avoiding surprises and nailing others with your surprises.
