Gameplay[]
It's time for the Cartoon Network Racing Championship! Players can pick their character, and race for the finish line. Cartoon Network Speedway is a racing game with plentiful power-ups, shortcuts, and unlockables. It includes a quick race (just a simple race of 1-5 laps), challenge (beat the star rating), championship (beat all the races), and two-player mode. The twist to this game is that it's not enough to come in first, but the player also has to be stylish. The star rating is used to unlock characters, tracks, and power-ups, and is increased by passing opponents, attacking opponents, collecting stars, setting records, and so on.
Twelve tracks and characters are included, most locked at the beginning. 20 different power-ups can be found, for attacks, road hazards, speed, and odder effects.
Reception[]
The game received mixed reviews by critics and gamers alike. On IGN, it received a 3 out of 10, reviewer Craig Harris stating "Cartoon Network Speedway is one of the sloppiest and most generic kart racers released on the Game Boy Advance." It currently has a 53% rating on GameRankings. It was also given a 65 out of 100 from Next Level Gaming, a 3 out of 5 from Nintendo Power, and 58 out of 100 from VG-Force. Complaints centered on bad and choppy graphics, the slow pace, the fact that characters from Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls (both popular Cartoon Network franchises) were unavailable, and the lack of challenge.
