Woody Woodpecker Racing, also known in Japan as Woody Woodpecker no Go! Go! Racing (ウッディウッドペッカーのゴー!ゴー!レーシング, Uddi uddopekkā No Gō! Gō! Rēshingu), is a 2000 video game published by Konami and developed by Syrox Developments, based on the animated series The New Woody Woodpecker Show (and in turn the animated short film series created by Walter Lantz)
In the game, you race as various characters from the Woody Woodpecker cartoons in 16 different tracks set around the world. The gameplay is similar to Mario Kart.
Woody Woodpecker Racing is a Woody Woodpecker video game. Though many driving games for the PC try to be realistic simulations, there's always room for a game that bucks the trend and offers off-the-wall but fun and challenging gameplay. Woody Woodpecker Racing intends to be such a game: It tries to capitalize on the popularity of other similar arcade-like driving games by offering simplified driving physics, various cartoon like weapons for taking out other drivers, and zany tracks that fit the overall theme of the game. Yet while Woody Woodpecker Racing does follow this basic formula, it fails to properly execute any of the core aspects of it. And because of its many frustrating features, the game does deliver a decidedly poor racing experience for both veteran and rookie go-kart drivers.
