Nicktoons Racing for the Game Boy Color is conceptually similar to its console counterpart. It's a kart racing game but on the handheld it is viewed from a top down perspective. Some of the most famous Nickelodeon characters are competing on the race track and the player can choose to play as any of them.
The game has two main modes: quick race and championship. In the quick race mode, players can choose to play any track of the four available program environments. In the championship, the player has to complete each track in a specific order. The game allows the player to race as seven different Nickelodeon characters: Nicktoons Racing , Tommy Eliza CatDog Arnold SpongeBob SquarePants Dagget Norbert .
The game features four different program environments: Angry Beavers, The Wild Thornberrys, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Rugrats. There are numerous power-ups that the player can pick up, including the Checkered Flag, which increases the car's top speed, wrapped package gives the player a free lap, stop sign will stop the opponents for a short time, and the milk bottle causes the opponents to lose traction.
Nicktoons Racing was released on 2000-12-07 for the Game Boy Color.
