Wait wait wait. You've never seen Wacky Races? WTF?!
I may have but it certainly didn't leave an impression if I did.
+Game Sack wacky races was a great cartoon. it was on USA network all the time. The commercials always showed a bunch of Hanna-Barbera characters riding on a train.
Richard Garrison
Yeah we never had cable so maybe that's why. The characters do all look very Hanna-Barbera-ish. Not sure why they went with a Yogi Bear rip-off instead of the actual Yogi Bear though since he is also an HB character.
I guess I just have a special love for Hanna-Barbera cartoons. I watched them all the time when I was little
Game Sack
I couldn't tell you why Yogi wasn't really part of it. Maybe it was because he had all of his other buddies like Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound. Though I think there was a crossover at one point.
This is the first video I have ever seen where people talked about Wacky Racers!! I thought I must have dreamed that acid trip racer haha.
DreamcastGuy I actually spent a good week trying to 100% complete the game. Unlocking Dick Dastardly sent me into a chair-destroying rage but it was worth it. Since there's virtually no online information about the game it was like figuring things out like the olden days.
Figured this is kind of a late comment. But I had it on the gameboy color, it was awesome but hard as hell. Surprised they didn't mention it in the video.
NO GARFIELD KART RACING?! Unsubbed!1!!1!
;)
you guys DID get a lot of unessacary shit for ctr .....but it IS a good game
It is pretty good. Still not hugely fond of using two shoulder buttons to slide though.
+Game Sack it was my first kart game so i didnt have a choice ......i hated the genre up to that point
this and a demo of muppets racemania that i had managed to change my mind
Tony Spike
Did you like the Muppets game? I think Dave almost included that one.
***** Interesting. Do they activate it the same way by letting go of the throttle on the striped part of the track? :)
+Game Sack The KERS system is a real life speed boost for F! cars. Kinetic energy recovery system. Also there is special areas on each track they set up were F! drivers can activate it.
+Ducksauce the KERS system has nothing to do with kart racing style speed boosting though .....all cars get it on the same parts of the circuit and only for a set period of the track so it offers no real advantages like the speed boost in kart racers does ....if it did it be disallowed by the FIA ......its more of an energy saving system than an actual boon giver
my sunday mornings are not complete without game sack :)
Same, Game Sack is the first thing I watch the minute I wake up every Sunday morning. Game Sack is less of UA-cam gaming channel but more of a religion for me it's by far the best channel on UA-cam.
Sunday evening for me :)
+Retro Survival right after that 12 hour block of cops and cheaters, and then the 12 hour block of ninja warrior. But yeah, G4 pre 2007 would've been a good home for gamesack.
+N64 Glenn Plant True that. :)
+N64 Glenn Plant Man, you said it! I wake up, grab a coffee, and immediately sit down and tune in!
In case you were wondering what the KERS was in F1 Race Stars, its an actual thing in Formula 1. It's a system that stores energy while the vehicle is braking so that it can be used right after a turn to accelerate. The same concept is in hybrid cars and is how they primarily charge the batteries while driving.
Why wasn't this video 25 minutes worth of UA-cam complaints abut the lack of CTR and 0 minutes of review footage? That would have been awesome.
I never knew they were so many non Mario Kart Kart games. That's why I love Game Sack! They highlight so many games I never would have heard about
Great episode, here's a list of Kart game for future episode :
-Atari Kart (Atari Jaguar)
-Croc Mac Rally (Old Mac PC with Mac OS 9.0, also on iOS)
-Super Tux Kart (Open-source Kart game based on open source mascot running on multiple PC OS including Windows and Mac)
-Garfield Kart (Super shitty on 3DS)
-Mod Nation (PS3, Vita, i think you already did it in ep1 ?)
Please also make a F-Zero/Wipeout futuristic racing game. Thank you guys.
I second the futuristic/anti grav racers. I love the wipeout games and am always on the look out for similar games.
Also try out Astro GoGo. It's a Super Famicom exclusive similar to F-Zero.
Garfield kart was the shit
I just got a Jag and I really, really want a copy of Atari Karts (or whatever it's called).
This is how you make a request/suggestion, by throwing ideas out there and thanking them there at the end. This is so much nicer to come across in the comments rather than, "You forget my favorite game?! Episode FAIL!!!"
Also, I find your suggestions interesting.
No wipeout? Lol fail video.
Jk, I second that idea.
8 years late but, the piranha plant thingy is actually an enemy that’s appeared since Crash 1. One non-hostile one even makes an appearance in the first Jak game. Great video, I love going back and watching all these.
There should be a Call of Duty Kart Racing game!!!11 With all the lovely and memorable characters to chose from! Happy new year, Sacks.
Like Dog, Floating Arms, Ghost, Price, Soap, Mason, Shepard, Makrov and Kevin Spacey. Zombie racer and tracks will be DLC.
You need a season pass if you want to play online.
The whole reason why I watch Game Sack is because you guys often talk about games I've never played, and in some cases never even heard of. I watch Game Sack so that I DON'T see the obvious choices that most other people would talk about. That and you're both hilarious and awesome.
I really liked the powersliding mechanic in CTR. It made the game very skill-based
Every time I play another kart racer, I feel like something is missing.
What more can I say about Game Sack that I haven't? You guys make the best video game related show ever! Another stellar episode guys, you make it look easy. After watching this I'm gonna go pick up a racing game.
god, that Wacky Races game was like my favorite video game when i was 8. nostalgia :')
The first new Sack of 2016!
Happy New Year, Game Sack Maniacs!
+The Froyuken Files Happy New Year!
I got to say, I've always look forward to Sunday at 3am, because I can't sleep and I always fall asleep right after I see the new videos. I suffer from insomnia, so please take it as a compliment, Keep it up!
Still no Speed Punks/Freaks. :(
+Freako That's my definitive kart racer. So much fun.
+Freako areen't you one of those really good r34 artists?
+Freako Yeah, I came into the episode hoping for it...well, lets hope for a kart racers 3 video from them
+Freako I won a PS1 with this game when I was about 12 years old. It was a Speed Freaks Tournament, and after a weekend with the hired game I managed to win! Was pretty stoked. Still think it's one of the better kart games from the era, and I still think it holds up. Graphics were pretty great for the time too.Physics just had a bit more depth to them than your average Mario clone.
chipchip If you look at the environments the amount of detail in speed freaks is unbelievable, so much hidden detail, one of the best looking PS1 games in my opinion.
You've more than satisfied the majority by giving a full in depth look at Crash Team Racing in your cart racing episode.So, kudos to both of you Joe & Dave.
Finally CTR, the best kart racing game ever!
I believe the closest we ever got to an HD Lego Racers is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.
Now, I know that this game is not liked by everyone - mostly because it's not the Banjo-Threeie they were looking for - but personally I think that it's a pretty good game once you get past that. The game looks pretty good (tho the redesign for the characters is so-so), the music references a lot of old tracks from Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie and you get a fair bit of variation with the different missions, ranging from standard races, special time trials and fetch quests to boiling eggs, "car" football and sumo battles.
Also, you can build pretty much *anything you want* and use that in most missions - unless they have certain restrictions or require you to use a pre-built vehicle until you pass it for the first time.
Ever wanted to use the USS Enterprise in a race? You can do that!
A cottage on wheels with flamethrowers and a grenade launcher? Sure, they won't stop you!
A massive motorized Pixel Art statue of your favorite video game character? Knock yourself out!
A gigantic bike with Monster Truck wheels that's taller than some houses? That one's actually pre-built by RARE for a stunt mission!
Happy New Year you Beautiful Bastards!
The kart race between you two at the end was literally amazing.
How come this channel only have 143k subscribers? It should have 2 million or more by now.
I wasn't sure if you were going to cover Wacky Races. To me I thought it was a regular racing game, but thank you for covering it. I enjoyed watching Wacky Races on Cartoon Network back in the day. Kudos to putting your show onto Blu-Ray.
Ever tried Re-Volt? Not sure which version is best, I'm guessing the Dreamcast one. I played it on PC but that's out of the question for you guys. The game doesn't have any karts, but it's a RC racing game with weapons, so I guess it counts
+Doom2Guy A recently dumped Xbox version (originally for Xbox Live Beta testers but later close to completion) came out for modded xboxes. Also the Arcade version has also been dumped & playable on home PCs. Both really good versions.
XeCuTioNR There was an arcade version?? I had no idea
+Doom2Guy I would argue the PC version, due to the consistent frame rate. The Dreamcast version is great, but chugs when it comes to Clockwork Carnage.
To make up for that the console versions did have their own levels and soundtracks, PS1 has that in the bag in terms of Soundtrack. Levels, Dreamcast. Suffice to say the N64 had the best intro theme.
Plague Doctor If im not mistaken, the PC version has been modded & updated right or can be?
Dear game sack love your show, only recently found it but I've been watching all sorts of your past videos. Thanks for existing, I love retro games.
You missed Crash Tag Team Racing. Also, the PS2 version of the Wacky Races game is much better.
Always great to see something new from Game Sack.
One of the best ending skits hhahaha
KERS stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System. It's a mechanism that absorbs energy from the brakes and converts it to electricity to charge a battery (or in some cases a flywheel). The energy is later used to give the car additional power through electric motors.
I guess ReVolt counts as a kart racer, it has power ups and small vehicles, check it out if you haven't already :P
I love Re-Volt. Such a good game (Shame that I grew up with the PS1 version xD)
Now that I think about it, Mega Man did have a kart-racing game of his own known as "Mega Man: Battle & Chase" on the Sony PlayStation, which was originally released in Japan only, but it did become playable as an unlockable title in "Mega Man X Collection" on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube, and I'm hoping you guys will able to cover it in a future episode as well. :)
You guys should try out Chocobo racing for the original Playstation.
*****
Ah,
Well then, I'll go watch that.
Thanks for the heads up.
if you see something has a name of a sequel or says "2" or 3, 4 or any number after 1, then you should google the first one.
Thank you for keeping the self-promotion pleasantly short, and thank you for another episode!
Also, I do believe Shovel Knight runs perfectly on a PS1.
+everybodyhasmine You gotta do the blu ray mod first lol. I think they went back to their buddy to make sure that disc works.
shovel knight is a 1080p game no, it would run very laggy
just tweak the colors and change the quality and it would run on the NES
I watch Game Sack to hear about games I never heard of or missed out on in the past, sounds like some people only want to hear about games they played and liked and nothing else. I'd say watch top 10's if you want to hear nostalgia about crash team racing. Thank you guys for all the great shows that made me buy and play games that I never would have ever tried without you!
when do you review muppets race mania for the psx ??
+evilsniperNL Thank you good sir for enlightening me on the fact a supposedly competent Muppet's Kart Racer exists.
Thanks guys keep the sacks coming i really enjoy your critiques and sega/nintendo friendship/rivalry.
Though not horrible, CTR is the most overrated thing since Boba Fett.
Fucking hate that game and it's fans. They are on par with Clinton voters.
Is there a star I can check so that Game Sack videos stay at the top of my feed whenever they release a new episode, and remain above others until i acknowledge it?? Always awesome shows, thanks guys!
+Prophis I subscribed to the channel and UA-cam sends me notifications on my phone whenever they upload a new vid. You need the UA-cam app on your phone. You might wanna google "how to get youtube notifications on phone".
Please include "Star Wars Super Bombad Racing" for the PS2 in your next Kart Racers Episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KERS: Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Recharges batteries under braking to provide extra power under acceleration later. Used in Formula 1 racing and some high end hyper cars like the P1, 918 Spyder, and LaFerrari.
Aw, you guys still didn't talk about Mega Man Battle & Chase. It was on the Mega Man X Collection for PS2 since it was originally a PSX titled that hadn't been released outside Japan. It's a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
it was on europe too
***** I like saying PSX.
Son of Tiamat
but indeed it was in europe for the psx
*****
IT WAS
***** I believe I mentioned that. It wasn't released outside of Japan originally until later towards the en of the PS2's life.
this is the reason why i love to watch gamesack. they often came up with games that i never heard or play before. so if some people get upset just because of you guys didn't mention CTR (or any other games that "popular"), well i think they just can go watch another channel tho. keep up the good work!
Not liking CTR turbo sliding has hurt many, many feelings including my own. The best players are in a forever lasting turbo boost because of it.
I don't like having to use both the L1 and R1 buttons. If it was just the R1 alone like it should be I would like it much more.
+Game Sack But that system makes the triple turbo slides system possible, with one button that system is not possible and makes you have boring single turbo slides.
Drprophetius
You could do it with releasing the R1 button and tapping it again.
+Game Sack But that would mean you would have to do three jumps in a row and mess your driving.
Drprophetius
I don't think it would. The d-pad or analog stick would still rule overall. You'd just hop.
wow cant believe you included lego racers used to love playing this game round my friends house back in the day
I never noticed how much Mario Kart stole from Crash Team Racing untill now
+Ryan Amberger Mario Kart still took elements from CTR.
Really isn't it the other way around?
Nintendo64_Lover there were fun racers before mario kart anyway
In F1 Race Stars, the Safety Car is a power-up that when activated, makes the person in first place slow down and can't pass the safety car for a short time and allows everyone behind them a chance to catch up. The thing is, when/if people catch up, they too are stuck in that slowed pace until the Safety Car leaves. It's an interesting, theme-specific catch-up mechanic in a game that also has the ability to turn off rubberbanding AI.
So I have an episode suggestion which may sound dumb and people may laugh at but I have small children. Here it goes, could you do an episode about games for smaller children (between ages of like 5-10) or something like that. They don't need educational games or anything like that but something to recommend to parents to play with their kids and so on and so forth.
That also sounds like an opportunity to cover the Sega Pico.
+Dustin Gibbons you're a shitty parent.your kids should be taught fishing or playing outside instead of watching youtube video.
+Dustin Gibbons It's not a bad idea but I don't think it would be very popular. I think the majority of our viewers don't have children and wouldn't be interested in Eco jr. and other Club SEGA games. I have a 7 year old daughter who likes to play some of those Club SEGA games and games like Castle of Illusion and Mario Kart. We always have fun playing those together.
+Game Sack Dave Thanks for the reply, my 7 year old and I play Mario Kart quite a bit together, never thought about Ecco Jr. I may see how she likes that. We also play Nintendo Land on the Wii U.
+Dustin Gibbons My 7 old nephew had a lot of fun being the second helper character in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'd recommend that one.
yay 2016 game sack, you guys are the best
Joe and Dave are wearing clothes...#episodefail
The "piranha plants" are actually originally from Crash Bandicoot 2 rather than SMB. They also have a cameo in the first Jak & Daxter. Also, I dare you to beat all the N. Oxide time trial ghosts. I've done it, and it's a really fun challenge with an emphasis on the "challenge" part of it. Also, Fighter Roar eventually appeared in Banpresto's more popular property, Super Robot Wars.
Play the old shareware game Wacky Wheels. I loved that game.
+Matthew Graham Was looking for this!
+Matthew Graham They only play console games I believe.
They do play one or two PC games, but mostly on a Windows emulator since they have a Mac.
Thanks GameSack. I've had a bad day and I appreciate your weekly videos. I always look forward to them. Thanks as always guys. :)
CTR does not copy Diddy Kong Racing. CTR improves it.
Yay new Game Sack! Its gonna be a good year!
CTR was the poor man's Mario Kart.
+Ichigo Kurosaki Agree
+Ichigo Kurosaki Yet I played it alot, CTR simply Mario Kart for PSX
It's actually infinitely better than mario kart 64. Heck mario kart copied a lot of stuff from Ctr.
No it's really not. And if you're comparing it to the later mario kart games it's not fair. It's like comparing super mario 64 to sonic the hedgehog one.
+CAX 117 CTR is significantly, objectively better than Mario Kart. It has much more gameplay depth, a much more significant and challenging end-game (oxide ghosts) and better unlockables. It also has a much higher difficulty curve without the obscene levels of rubber banding that MK has.
Some Kart Racer recommendations:
BC Racers - Sega CD/ 32X
Super Tux Kart - PC - This one is free and uses the Linux mascot. But the game works for Windows too
Speed Punks - PS1
Atari Karts - Though maybe you guys covered this one?
Kirby Air Ride - GameCube
You ain't that good at CTR. You're not power sliding often (the way it's meant to be used) Not knowing the short cuts I can excuse since they are pretty cryptic. But not knowing how to properly power slide isn't.
OK thanks man.
+Game Sack anyway, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure the floating face tells you how to do it. Also CTR (I think) was the first kart racer to incorporate sliding in that form so it's probably going to be not as good as the sliding in mario kart 8.
Thank god for Sundays! I get my new episode of Game Sack! Thanks bros!
Game Sack, more like Game Suck.
Proud alumni of the Dunkey school of comedy.
Your use of mode 7 on the outro was epic. Well done.
Kart racers have become pretty rare now, wouldn't mind seeing some new ones appear. They would be a welcome change from the over abundance of shooters.
The woody woodpecker part made me laugh man. You sounded truly scarred by it.
So sad that Joe never grew up with Wacky Races. That was an iconic show.
I am officially calling for more involvement from Jen on the show!!! Either way you guys have a fan for life!
SNOWBOARD KIDS on the N64 is one of my all time favorite kart (or snowboard in this case) racers out there! Would love to see that covered by you guys.
FYI KERS stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System and it's a real feature in Formula 1 as the cars brake the system harvests energy from the brakes and recharges batteries on the car giving the driver a boost of power, (approx 80hp), with the push of a button on the wheel.
Pretty sure this episode has the best ending segment so far. Keep up the good work, guys.
I think ModNation Racers is as close as we got to a Lego racer in HD. Which is a neat because the weapon/shield system in that game was awesome as well.
You killed me with the outro though. It was fantastic! I was laughing for a minute straight there.
Lego Racers! Remember having loads of fun playing that on the PC, had no idea if my memories were golden or if it actually held up. Gonna hunt it down again thanks to you fine fellas!
Loved that ending skit! Glad you guys keep up the old Sega vs. Nintendo joke after all this time.
Oh my god, you mentioned that Woody Woodpecker Racing game! I had the PC version when I was a kid, though I had trouble running on it and barely played it. Hearing your thoughts on that game made me regret owning it.
If you ever make a Kart Racers 3, here are my suggestions:
1. Walt Disney World Magical Racing Tour
2. Dreamworks Superstar Kartz
3. Crash Nitro Kart.
4. Crash Tag Team Racing
5. Konami Krazy Kartz
6. Mario Kart Super Circut.
I can't believe you didn't include Star Wars Super Bombad Racing!! How could you. Haha, just kidding. Great episode as always guys. I was totally waiting for Joe to mimic Woody Woodpecker, lol.
i swear i keep finding game sack episodes i missed then realizing i saw them when they are almost done playing
I got into sonic Allstars racing transformed thanks to you guys. Great game and hits all the right nostalgia centers for me.
I loved that you covered Game Sack Kart Racer as well. ;)
WHAT?!?!? No *ATARI KARTS* ?
*_"YOU HAD ONE JOB, GAME SACK!"_*
You guys are awesome for calling out all those D bags! That was cool. You should do a video just of you guys driving around in your car yelling at people that look stupid
I think a great topic for a future episode would be top down racers like Power Drive Rally, Overtop, Super Off Road, Motorstorm RC, there are so many great games to choose from! It has to be one of the least covered genres.
Lego Racers is one of my favorite kart racers. I would love a modern sequel with licensed characters.
Oh my God That ending was hilariously well done!!
You guys make great, well produced videos about video gaming, available for free to everyone on youtube?? HOW DARE YOU!!
Dude you can just get drunk/high and watch game sack again and it's like a new video series
CTR BEST CART RACER EVER
+Merlin ORKO Awesome joke, lol.
Definitely
+Merlin ORKO i thought it was a cd racer, not a cart
I never heard of CTR racing until know and I am impressed. This game is next on my list.
UA-cam: wat u lookin for fam
me: just Sack my sh*t up
Did you guys know that Mega Man also had his own kart racing game, which was never originally released in the US until it was included as part of "Mega Man X Collection" on the PS2 and Gamecube? ;)
For CTR, check the meter (bottom right corner) not the smoke. This will make drifting musch easier.
Another great episode.
Some games I think you should include in the next episode include
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for the 64,
Muppets Racing on the Ps1,
and DEFINITELY Kirby AirRide on the Gamecube(extremely underrated. It's my favorite kart racer/any racer period)
I believe that during CTR (Crash Team Racing) prototype stage, the team built a replica of the "Crescent Island" course from Diddy Kong Racing to test whether a racetrack of the same scope and scale was possible on the PlayStation.
Another suggestion would be M&Ms Kart Racing on the Wii. I was fortunate to hear a live commentary with the voice of the announcer Bill Rogers. Oh the things I could say that I promised him won't leave the game room.
I've been watching the complete series of Wacky Races for the past few days. It doesn't do anything amazing but it is a very enjoyable show. Totally recommend it.
You can't argue that ctr copies off Diddie Kong. the developers proudly express the inspiration and the first map made for the game was a recreation of a Diddy Kong map for the sole reason of testing and was quickly removed.
If I were to recommend a title i'd pick Speed Freaks for the PS1. It's pretty much the definition of a hidden gem and a great kart racer at the same time. Great episode btw guys!
Best PS1 kart racer by far is Speed Freaks/Speed Punks.
Loved the ending xD.
there is nothing more relaxing then when my two gay dads sit me down and explain a bunch of weird games to me
Criticizing the roster of Wacky Races without having watched a single one of their cartoons, and knowing their personas
Gamesack , ladies and gentlemen
