disabled_by_defaultDue to increasing levels of AI scraping putting incredible strain on server resources but Cloudflare's under attack mode being a bit too heavy-handed to leave up 24/7, we're trying a new way to combat these attacks. By default, all traffic will be challenged but logged in users will bypass those challenges completely. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as it was never our intention to try to force registration and you certainly still don't have to - passing one of those challenges should keep you in the clear for a half-hour otherwise.

@SpaceHarrier64 It would have made sense and the NES could do racing games whether top down or chase view. While Atlus themselves haven't made a racing game to my knowledge (they published racing games though), it could have been subcontracted to a company that could like Genki or Varie. My theory is a licensing restriction from Hanna-Barbera.

There was a Spectrum/Amstrad game that was also a platformer from around the same time but this time you played as the Mean Machine and only played as Muttley in certain levels.

Why was Wacky Races made into a platform game, and not, oh, I don’t know, a racing game?!

This game's Wikipeda article claims that it's a platformer developed by Atlus.
