Woody Woodpecker Racing is a kart racing game featuring characters from the popular series of cartoons starring Woody Woodpecker. The gameplay remains heavily modeled on Mario Kart, as the player races around a track with the usual array of speed boosts, jump ramps, water hazards, and cliffs.
The game features six playable characters, including Woody and Winnie Woodpecker, who can be unlocked by winning tournaments. The two-player head-to-head racing mode is also supported via the link cable, adding to the game's replay value. Two tournament modes are available: Extreme and Grand Prix, each with its own unique challenges and requirements.
Players can earn gold trophies in tournaments, which unlocks points used to equip better car parts for future races across all modes. All tracks are also available in two practice modes: Sprint, a single tournament-style race against AI racers, and Time Trial, a traditional run of an empty track with power-ups disabled.
Woody Woodpecker Racing was released for the Game Boy Color in December 2000.
