Review by Tom Allen of the Dreamcast version of the game. "The courses are short, and the game lacks an addictive quality, but Wacky Races is a piece of eye candy that the kids will enjoy." [3/4]

Review by Clarence Worley. "The number of tracks available, coupled with the variety of characters and vehicles, makes for a good start in terms of gameplay, but the lack of secret levels and secret characters gives little reason to keep racing." [68%]

Review of the Dreamcast version by G-Wok. "Wacky Races is, without a doubt, the best kart racer that I've seen in a long while. It's insane graphics and overall wackiness is something to behold." [B+]

Review by Vincent Lopez. "With more depth and an actual racing engine there could have been some fun gaming, but instead you're left with a short, simple, and fluffy affair that's best kept on the consoles, where bright eyed electric mice and magical plumbers are par for the course." [6.2/10]

Game review by Jayne Bowen. "Wacky Races is a fantastic game for the Dreamcast with great characters and a solid game to go with it - so if you've just played South Park Racer - be prepared to be converted!"

Review of the Game Boy Color version by Marc Nix. "It's a solid racer, and the sense of speed makes gameplay fun even when the rest of the design starts to fail." [8/10]
