Speed Racer’s blocks of vibrant colour and computer whizzery are a natural fit for the modern digital experience. Still, it’s my oldest unreviewed film (from this year), so…įirstly, it’s visually astounding. Speed Racer feels like an unfair place to kick off these half-arsed efforts because, despite the critical and commercial apathy it found on release, I really enjoyed it.

Reviewer Sam Bishop of IGN wrote, "The music in the game happily bounces back and forth from vaguely tribal, ambient tracks to more driving, aggressive sounding electronica loops." Track listing No. The original musical soundtrack of the Speed Racer video game was composed by Winifred Phillips and produced by Winnie Waldron. Each character's car has different stats, of which there are 4 in total. Performing "car-fu" on allies will penalize the player, however. In certain gameplay modes, players can enter alliances with other racers, who will attempt to interfere with the player's rival. For example, Speed Racer's rival is Jack "Cannonball" Taylor. Each character also has a specific rival, whom, should the player destroy or finish the race before, award bonus points.

There are a total of 20 selectable characters from the film in the game (25 in the PS2 version), each with their own unique vehicle. The Wii version can only be played by the Wii Remote itself turned sideways, with or without the Wii Wheel, leveraging its motion controls to steer and perform stunt and car-fu moves analog control is not supported in that version as it does not allow external attachments that feature analog sticks. The Nintendo DS version uses the stylus in conjunction with the touchscreen. The PS2 version uses a standard control setup, in which an analog stick controls steering and buttons are used for pedals and car-fu moves.

If the player's car explodes, the player will respawn nearby however, the brief delay between the car exploding and re-spawning allows many other drivers to pass the player, causing a large dent in their ranking.Įach version of the game has its own unique control method. If this happens, the player must quickly repair their car, or else it will, in fact, explode. The player can distinguish the vehicle's health by the gauge on the HUD, but also the color of the jet at the rear of the vehicle: if it is bluish-white, the car is fine if it is red and smoking, it is severely damaged if the camera suddenly starts to zoom out, the car is about to explode.

A full boost will repair half of the health meter, while a partially filled boost meter will only repair a smaller amount of the meter. Boosts may alternatively be used to repair the car by refilling the health meter.

If all four boosts are used at once, the driver enters a state called "The Zone" in which they travel more than twice as fast as their regular top speed, become invincible and inflict high damage to any opponents they hit. Four boosts may be collected this way, and may be used at any time. Driving well (i.e., not hitting walls, avoiding other drivers) as well as car-fu rewards the player with a boost. Points can be earned by placing high during races, but also by performing stunts and, most commonly, bashing into and destroying other racers with the use of car acrobatics, called "car-fu" in the game. The goal of the game is not only to win first place in each race, but also to have the most points by the end of the cup to win the competition. The game is a racing game similar to the F-Zero series, including tracks full of odd twists, turns and loops which are impossible by realistic standards, set in five vibrant, exotic locations (six in the PS2 version).
