Wacky Races (PlayStation)

The PS1 Wacky Races was released in Europe just a few months after the Dreamcast game. Rather than being a scaled-down port, it's a completely different game from a completely different team.

I'm so dastardly, sometimes I scare myself!

Unused Music#

The music track "CT|00004" found within the CT.STR file goes unused. Following the formatting found in the other levels' .STR files, it stands to reason that it was at least intended to be used in Dick's Revenge 4...which instead uses a Canyon Craze track in the final game.

The PC release would use this track on the Chilly Thrills 2-player battle mode map.

Unused Sounds#

Victory Dialogue#

The game's "WIN" folder stores the cutscenes played after completing a championship, with separate files for each character. These files also contain unused dialogue, some of which seem to imply they were meant to follow tracks from other themes - in particular, several lines mention the city, which could be tied to the appropriate theme, Down & Town.

A line or two (mostly Muttley's) see usage elsewhere in the game, but are listed here for consistency - such dialogue will be highlighted in blue.
