I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that you can unlock episodes of the shows represented. That’s a cool extra and, it keeps me coming back to watch the 2 episodes of each series featured ever so often. And, the shields are certain co drivers special powers.
Another awesome review! Keep up the good work! Here is a list of games that you you may consider review in the future: Johnny Bravo In The Hukka Mega Mighty Ultra Extreme Date-O-Rama! Ben 10 Protector of Earth Pet Alien: An Intergalactic Puzzlepalooza Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!!
I had a lot of fun with this game. Characters with Speed and/or Flight Specials paired with the fast recharge of the Toon Power Meter can definitely break the game and make it easy if you know the courses well and where to use them. The Shield you mentioned is a Toon Power that some characters have. In the Super Science Tournament, all of Super Tournament, Quick Race, and Elimination Mode the A.I. will start using their Toon Powers when you get close to them, but they only use their Secondary Toon Power.
Gosh, I wish CN would make a remaster of this for ps4, with old and new characters. I freakin loved this game as a kid and it even helped my brother and me to learn englisch. (oddly CN games never get a translation in germany) you kinda forgot to mention the arena minigames. My brother and I loved to play the hell out of those. ^^
It finally came. I have now sunked two to three hours into Cartoon Network Racing. My first impressions? Well, I was a little mixed for the first hour. The handling felt pretty loose and was challenging to get to grips with, especially when bumping into a wall made for some annoying 180° turns that weren't intended on my part. I also found the Item RNG to be ridiculous at times and it felt like I didn't have much control on potential victory. Needless to say, my first hour was pretty frustrating. BUT. All of a sudden, I was getting really good at the game. What originally felt loose now started to become really fun and satisfying to master, and I gradually learned to wait at just the right moments to use my toon powers. The difficulty was now just right and was more about strategic racing gameplay rather than abusing what I could use. It reminds me quite a bit of the motorbike levels from Crash 3. The learning curve is high, but it feels really good once I've reached it. I'll definitely be sinking more time into the game. My chosen characters are Dexter and Dee Dee, simply because I love Dexter's Lab and prefer to have a great sense of speed in my games. If the game continues to impress me as it goes along, it might potentially become my second favourite 6th-gen kart racer behind Mario Kart: Double Dash.
After playing a lot more of the game. I can confirm a few things. This is now one of my new favourite kart racing games. More importantly though, Dexter's turbo boost is far from broken. If anything, it kind of pales compared to making your kart float. It's easier to control and the speed is more immediate, but the float power up when used on the Dash panels allows you to achieve that sense of speed right away while also having the benefit of lasting longer, and slowing your opponents down when near them. The one weakness it has is that it's much harder to turn tight corners when in this mode. Also, Dexter isn't the only one who has this turbo boost. Several other characters like Professor Utonium and Courage have this as well.
This game is great tbh And let's not forget it included like 12 unlockable cartoon episodes... Wasn't expecting that from ps2 when I was younger... They should TOTALLY remaster it, or do something in it's style, hopefully including a lot more shows
As far as Double Dash copycats go, this is a really good effort. I initially had mixed feelings, but it has grown on me as one of my new favourite kart racing games.
Great review! And like you said I too was upset with the roster especially when they have so many other shows they could represent. It just made no sense for them to cut Ed Edd n Eddy despite being a largely popular and successful show right up there with the Powerpuff Girls and there were plenty other shows they could represent like KND, Fosters Home, Camp Lazlo and Billy and Mandy
I'll be picking up this game soon. Mario Kart: Double Dash is my favourite game in the series (well, kind of. 8 Deluxe topped it for me) so a Cartoon Network kart racing game with the same gimmick on a rival console will be potentially a lot of fun. Heck, once I get the right equipment, I'm thinking of making a versus video between the two games.
Your channel is so underrated! Thanks for putting out such good content. Been watching you for years but finally subscribed and had to give you some praise
I think it would be cool if we got a multiversus kart. That way it could be tracks from all type of cartoon network, warner bros, and dc properties. I just don't see them doing standalone cartoon network video games ever again. Cartoon network battle crashers was like the last standalone cartoon network game we got. Multiversus is kind of the sequel to punch time explosion we've been waiting for.
Things about the cpus you might’ve not known. - They Only Use Their Second Toon Power, This was most likely to reduce ai coding in developing the game. - They also never pick Suzie From Johnny Bravo As A Driver.
I'm tight, because a lot of gamers and people in general still haven't played this game. out of all people I've talked to, Game store owners and cashiers, whenever I say "Have you played Cartoon Network Racing? I've played this game before!" and they always said "I've never played or even heard of it before."
I don't thing the devs thought about this, but this game appeals heavily to nostalgia thanks to the combination of characters, maps, soundtrack and fanservice. Bonus points if you played the game as a kid.
7:07 That is a special attack, there are only like 4 specials attacks that are shared among the characters the only thing that changes is the animations
Your first video to have reached 20.000 views. How humourous your most viewed video just happens to be your last video before such a heartbreaking hiatus.
I finished the game. It's now one of my favourite kart racers. I love how you can achieve ridiculous speeds once you've mastered the control and use of weapons, as well as memorised the tracks.
Ahhhh so there's exclusive power-ups for certain characters? Guess I just got unlucky with having all those three characters in the same tournament hahahaha
Each character has their own 2 powerups. These are turbo, flying, shield and attack. Attack was most of the time pretty useless, cause enemies would have to come very close to you to actually even be somewhat affected by it... except you have the powerpuff girls as partners. They had a laser attack that could hit anything that was just slightly around them. XD
Another thing is aren't this shows already off the air by 2006 , shouldn't the roster be the current shows like Ed Edd n Eddy , Ben 10 , Fosters , Camp Lazlo , Billy and Mandy , KND etc ?
In terms of these types of racers Cartoon Network Racing is BY FAR my favorite one. I had the DS version that I got for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. This game is one example of why I NEVER listen to critic reviews of games. I pretty much always used Chicken with his flying ability.
This was a fun game but I DESPISED the controls. They felt slippery, especially when trying to do turns and unlike Sonic and Sega all stars with the all stars being Invisible no matter what you get hit with, in this game,?you could lose it if your hit and it really sucks. Other than that, I enjoys this game. Be nice if they brought this back in a remake or new game with new characters.
Because Teen Titans is a DC property I will be saving those games for a DC Comics Video Game History. As for Mandark's Lab, I've had issues getting the game to run, but I'm going to try and get it working for the finale.

They need to hurry up and remaster this game. I miss this game
THQ Nordic snapped up the Nickelodeon video game licenses to make remasters, so my dream would be them doing the exact same thing for Cartoon Network.
They should make it more than just a remaster like crash team racing nitro fueled
Another awesome review!
Keep up the good work!

:OOO Yes I love these game reviews!!!
Great review btw!
Thank you! :)
Cartoon Review No problem! I’m alwaus happy to see these in my Activity xD
There’s no way people found this game that bad
There’s so much content here and the race tracks were actually pretty fun
Though hover is still an op special ability lol
This game is great tbh

This game was as fun as Nicktoons Racing. I was always Courage.
I'm disturbed by the severe lack of Ed, Edd N' Eddy (and hell, Sheep in the Big City too)
Just found your channel and it is really good. Keep at it. You deserve a lot more subs and I'm sure you'll be getting them.
What nice review dude! Keep doing these amazing reviews and I'm sure your channel will grow really quick
Thanks!
I also got the game, just a few hours ago and i thought it was fun. no joke.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Litterary me too lol!
i got this two days ago its so fun too bad i lost the ds version when i was 6

8:10 burnout uses this
Since Nickelodeon is making new games, would be nice if Cartoon Network did too!
Btw what are the Sega racing games you referenced?
They have IM Weasal, but not Ed Edd n Eddy? Really? It was the only one of these shows still on the air when this released!
I think that was the exact reason why it wasn't included
Review CN punch time explosion XL.
ah, Eutechnyx. i dont have a deep hatred for many game developers, but man they are definitely one of them
Got this game through the scholastic book fair
500 subs congratulations
this is good game its no mario kart but good alternative
I finished the game. It's now one of my favourite kart racers. I love how you can achieve ridiculous speeds once you've mastered the control and use of weapons, as well as memorised the tracks.
The cartoon eliminator thing... you saw it in sonic and sega all stars racing ....
You have to tell me the song that plays at the end of the video
Ah yes! Thanks, I had an inkling it was Sonic but wasn't 100% sure. The end song is the Mighty No. 9 main menu theme :)
i wish i still had my ps2
I miss these ;-;
HE JUST HEARTED MY COMMENT
HE’S BACK I’M SO HAPPY
Ps that shield is a power up ... because you played with dexter you've never go it...
Play with muriel dee dee or mom and you will see it

@@CartoonReview Courage, flem/earl (idk who has it), bunny bravo and fuzzy/mojo jojo (also idkwhi) have shields
Great review! I can't believe the game ended up with a horrible rating.
Eliminator races? Many racing games feature those.
What’s weird is that I. Am. Weasel is a spin-off of Cow and Chicken, so why did they choose it instead of picking another show for that slot?
because he had stand-alone episodes in 1999-2000.
Another thing is aren't this shows already off the air by 2006 , shouldn't the roster be the current shows like Ed Edd n Eddy , Ben 10 , Fosters , Camp Lazlo , Billy and Mandy , KND etc ?
Yep! This roster selection is baffling.
I was disappointed Ed Edd n Eddy weren't in this game even though the show was still going on when this game came out. Disappointing 😔
I like Cartoon Network Racing
Yes satisfaction at the max
Haha crazy, a Cartoon Network double dash
I looooove this game
This game should get a sequel
I beat this game with dexters mom and bunny bravo. I called their car "the milf mobile"
In terms of these types of racers Cartoon Network Racing is BY FAR my favorite one. I had the DS version that I got for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. This game is one example of why I NEVER listen to critic reviews of games. I pretty much always used Chicken with his flying ability.
Great videos! You should review "Scooby Doo night of 100 frights"
lol even the cover of the game looks like Mario Kart Double Dash
Was ds version any good
Finally
Cool channel
When are the new videos coming?
Any reason why the DC Cartoon Network shows aren’t on here?
I'm planning to do a DC Video Game History one day, so I'm saving them for there.
Cartoon Review oh cool. There’s a lot more lesser known games from DC, so I’m excited to see some games I’ve never heard of before
They should do lego game about cartoon network it will be amazing to play
This was a fun game but I DESPISED the controls.

Have you done a review of the Teen Titans game on the ps2 and the Dexter's Lab game on the ps1?
