Mark Twain meets Ninja Theater!, December 21, 1999
This review is from: Speed Racer: The Royal Racer [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This episode mixes the plot of "Prince & the Pauper" with ninja spies and Formula racing! Sprital nearly causes an international incident when he trades places with Prince Jam, a young Asian prince who some how looks exactly like Sprital. The real prince gets spanked by Pops,teased by Trixie and is subjected to all the problems Speed's little brother deals with dailey. Sprital, as the prince, is targeted for assassination by a would be usurper to the throne. He gets to fight ninjas along side his brother and actually gets a chance to participate in a real,genuine car race, and a Formula One race at that. As one might expect, any episode that focuses on Sprital rates high on the laugh-meter. This is one of the funniest Speed installments ever. It's also got plenty of action and interesting animated backgrounds. Essential viewing for any Speed-o-phile.
