Cartoon karting fun!

Wacky Wheels, a cartoony fast-paced go-kart racing game with superb multi-player gameplay, and funny animal drivers, is available 60% off for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours.

Wacky Wheels brings the pure joy and excitement of cartoony kart racing to PC computers. Or, actually, it already did 20 years ago. The game remains a blast to play up to this day! There are three classes of tracks to race on, from novice to expert, which present a wide range of wacky racing conditions. All tracks have special obstacles and dangers: water traps, cacti, oil slicks, posts, stacks of tires, and more. Some tracks are surrounded by water and even lava. But what you're not expecting is the hedgehogs! Grab all the track-populated hedgehogs you can and hurl them like baseballs at the other racers to send them spinning out of control - giving you time to pass 'em by. Other weapons to collect include bombs, oil slicks, ice blocks, and flame balls. Everything to make the race more interesting for your opponents!

If you're longing for some arcade racing that's all about fun you should not miss Wacky Wheels, for only $2.39 until Tuesday, November 11, at 10:59AM GMT.
Loved this game as a kid, had to get it immediately, if only for the OST. So many fond memories of horrible things being done with hedgehogs.
This was the first game I ever purchased (full version, that is)! So many memories, and dat soundtrack!
From the reviews it appears this a racing game that also involves some time of weaponry? In other words, it's not just a racing game?

AFAIK it's in the vein of Mario Kart and therefore has small weapons to annoy your fellow drivers. ;)

It's a kart racing game like Mario Kart. You choose a funny animal and then race against the other animals, and you can collect silly hedgehogs on the race track that you can throw at your competitors to get an advantage over them, and there are also various special weapons you can pick up, like bombs, oil spills, fireballs (but you can only carry one at a time and only use it once, while the hedgehogs stack). You can also race against a friend on the same computer, with or without AI opponents, and you can play challenges against the computer or your friend in which you just drive around, collecting hedgehogs and weapons and shoot at each other.

Just check out some gameplay footage on YT.

And if you like Wacky Wheels, consider voting for Skunny Kart. The history of its creation is a bit ugly, as Copysoft apparantly lived up to its name with this one and used the source code of an early Wacky Wheels prototype without making a deal with the original coder, but the game is fun, too, and has a catchy soundtrack.
