Woody Woodpecker Racing is a 2000 video game published by Konami and developed by Syrox Developments, based on the animated series The New Woody Woodpecker Show (and the animated short film series created by Walter Lantz).[1] A Dreamcast version was originally scheduled to release on April 3, 2001.[2] In 2023, the Dreamcast source files were compiled into a playable format.[3]
Similarly to other mascot kart-racing games, such as Mario Kart 64 and Crash Team Racing, the game involves Woody and eight other characters racing on sixteen race-tracks inspired by real world locations, like Las Vegas and Japan. The game features four modes: a single-player Quest mode, score-based World Championship mode, time-trial mode, and single-race mode. Players can choose from four vehicles, including: jalopies, all-terrain vehicles, stock cars, and racers.[4]
Woody Woodpecker Racing received "generally unfavorable" reviews according to aggregator Metacritic. Giancarlo Varanini of GameSpot gave the game a 3.6 of 10.[5]
