For some reason my eyes tear up because of nostalgia. Update 11/25/20: I bought another ps2 just to play it again. Still remember every twist and turn like I did 16 years ago.
I FINALLY FOUND IT!! After searching and wondering for so many years I found it!! I ADORED this game as a little girl! This brings back so many memories!!! I LOVED the Ice map so much. Never been able to recall what game it was but I wanna replay this so bad.
my favorite racing game still to this day. I can even remember every level i played this game when i was little and still to this day i remember the name the cars the levels all of it
This might be my favorite racing game ever!!!!I never owned it but I did rent it from blockbuster for over 70 DAYS and had a huge late fee lol idk why my parents didn't just buy it for me I love this
@TheDaxter11 It's quite simple really. In North America, the game is known as "Gadget Racers". In European or PAL territories, this same game is known as "Penny Racers". In Japan, it's called "Choro Q HG". If you dive deeply into the series, it becomes incredibly complicated to keep up with all the names. Some EU/PAL games that would be called Penny Racers are called Gadget Racers. Some Gadget Racers in the U.S. would be called Choro Q or as part of the Road Trip line-up. It gets pretty twisted.
This game + road trip were so many memories to me. In road trip, strangely enough, I instantly remembered every secret I knew back when I played it alot. The 60 euros I spent on all those old games + the PS2, still fucking worth every single cent.
this fucking game man, i rented this game as a kid only like 7 years old and ive been looking for this game now for 17 years. I can't believe i finally found it im ordering a copy online ASAP
and penny racers had different graphics at the time but gadget racers fixed it up with ps2, gamecube, xbox you name it with this game and it makes the graphics better when time went up from 8 bit to what it is today.
I never really understood why. Was that the start of "haha, this guy is garbage" thing or something? Also, you're welcome for me bringing you back to this masterpiece.
your good luck trying to find them all is really true...because i never seen both penny racers and choro q titles, only for download iso, but i have the original dvd of gadget racers and i'm happy :) but i think that penny racers and gadget racers don't have diference, is only the name of the game in different regions. choro q is a different style game, i mean, the menus, style of cars, and more. ps: what's your capture device to record ps2 games?
I have a question. What are all the catagories under Body Type races? I have only 5 unlocked and I think their are 3 more. (I have sports car,work vehicle, pastel color,racing color, and super chicken race.)
I gotta play the others in the series. Although their names are all over the place so I don't know if they're if part of the series or a spin-off or something!
I still think this is a best racing game ever. Charming semirealistic looks on the cars, yet with squashed bodys, simple layouts, awesome music. I'm glad I still have this one, because I bought Penny Racers Party for the Wii, and I felt cheated, because it tried to be too cartoony, and brighter graphics, instead of the slick semi-realistic stuff, and the music, god don't get me started on that AWFUL stuff.
NA had Penny Racers for the N64 though. I do agree though, it is confusing, but I had Penny Racers for N64, and I have Choro Q, Gadget Racers and Everywhere Road Trip for the PS2. I'd buy another Wii if Choro Q Wii ever came out in NA.
A few questions about the freakin blue dump truck!!!!! How the hell does the dump truck get into the HG Gp? If you had to think about it, wouldn't it be the richest racer in the game because it enters in every race? Why is it slow and sad? Why do I lap it 5 times in races? Is there any point at all, why it's in there to begin with? Do you think one day it's gonna waste all it's money on engines, transmissions, and CPU's and fucking haul ASS in every race? What do you think? Any of you guys like
it's true XD, but why? it's a game fun fact because the vehicle in real life is heavy? because in a race all cars have the same configurations, only 1 car is better than the ohters.
it says on wikipedia it was only released in Europe and japan and says it was going to be released under the road trip name, but it was canceled. yet you can still buy it on ebay.... its weird maybe only the road trip branding was cancelled...
I think the one youre thinking about Choro Q gh 3, which was rebranded in EU as Gadget racers. I did some research and the game we got as gadget racers is an entirely different game than EU got as gadgetry racers. Weird... I wo nder why it w as like this
this is really confusing honestly. apparently they made Choro Q GH 1, called it gadget racers in NA and penny racers in Europe (not to be confused with an entirely different N64 game with the exact same name). Then came Choro Q Gh 2 which everyone besides japan knew as Road Trip. THEN there's Choro Q GH 3 which they didn't release in NA and called Gadget racers in Europe so "gadget racers" either refers to the NA version of Choro Q GH 1 OR the European version of GH 3. Why the hell they didn't just call it penny racers 2 or some other road trip name I have no idea. reminds me of the whole dilema of the early final fantasy games. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choro_Q_video_games
And in NA we got a ln n64 Choro Q game localized as penny rarcers, And then Atlus decided to actually call Choro Q by its actual name here. It probably went through all of these changes because THQ tried to popularize choro q toys in NA and EU as penny racers and brought the n64 game here as an ad. Penny racers toys never took off but thq might have kept the license, making conspiracy and ufo jump through legal hoops. It may also just be branding for an english market, as kids may not have understood what choro q is. They might have called it gadget racers here because road trip is pretty different from our gadget racers. Id love to ask a worker at conspiracy(if theyre still around) what they were thinking. I know UFO is still around and they published EU's gadget racers
@MetallicaFan5591 lol, I totally thought the same thing when playing this during my childhood, XD. Anyways, IF THE DUMP TRUNK HAULED ASS, GADGET RACERS WOULD BE %150 MORE EPIC :D.
Its a secret car I believe, but its pretty hard to get. Atleast, thats what my cousin told me after trying for 1 month to get it. He never told me how to get it though. The son of a bitch. xD
For some reason my eyes tear up because of nostalgia. Update 11/25/20: I bought another ps2 just to play it again. Still remember every twist and turn like I did 16 years ago.
me too
Same
Anyone remember the dump truck who was ALWAYS in last?
PULLED THAT OUTTA MY MEMORY BANK
Sweeper is the only one to have the trash dumping job.
I FINALLY FOUND IT!! After searching and wondering for so many years I found it!! I ADORED this game as a little girl! This brings back so many memories!!! I LOVED the Ice map so much. Never been able to recall what game it was but I wanna replay this so bad.
Bruh same just found it again took me over 2 yrs Jesus christ!
my favorite racing game still to this day. I can even remember every level i played this game when i was little and still to this day i remember the name the cars the levels all of it
TOO MUCH NOSTALGIA!!!!
my favorite racing game still to this day. I can even remember every level.
Wow, looks like they had gliders and underwater driving before mariokart
Ps2 legend
I picked this up for $1.50 at Gamestop today. I was surprised to see it there, as it wasn't listed as in stock anywhere near where I am.
I freaking loved this game! Here in Europe it's called Penny Racers :)
We need this game for PSN Download.
YES
We need all games
This might be my favorite racing game ever!!!!I never owned it but I did rent it from blockbuster for over 70 DAYS and had a huge late fee lol idk why my parents didn't just buy it for me I love this

I really miss this game ngl. It was my first game and i really wanna buy a ps2 and buy this so i could play it again.
4:25
That is the worst engine sound ever.
Sounds like R2D2 screaming a bit
I love the Choro-Q video game series.
I remember this game, i loved it! and that opening intro is so RADICAL!
I remember renting this game from Blockbuster when I was a kid!
The game that got me into gaming
This game + road trip were so many memories to me.
In road trip, strangely enough, I instantly remembered every secret I knew back when I played it alot.
The 60 euros I spent on all those old games + the PS2, still fucking worth every single cent.
this fucking game man, i rented this game as a kid only like 7 years old and ive been looking for this game now for 17 years. I can't believe i finally found it im ordering a copy online ASAP
This game was really fun and at the end of the campaign it got real with the endurance races
this was the first game i ever got and i love it so much u rock Gadget racers and you will never be forgoten
and penny racers had different graphics at the time but gadget racers fixed it up with ps2, gamecube, xbox you name it with this game and it makes the graphics better when time went up from 8 bit to what it is today.
Omg I used to play this when I got home after school.
Forgot how much I loved this game
Intro is dope
The choro q series is dead. :( I have penny racers party for the wii. I hope they make choro q for the wii u.
I never really understood why. Was that the start of "haha, this guy is garbage" thing or something?
Also, you're welcome for me bringing you back to this masterpiece.

its really nastalgic of the good ol days
best game ever in my childhood
I miss this game so much. I hope it gets re-released on Playstation Network.
I just love the intro music!
Best racing game ever
I have a question. What are all the catagories under Body Type races? I have only 5 unlocked and I think their are 3 more. (I have sports car,work vehicle, pastel color,racing color, and super chicken race.)
@TheDaxter11 Actually, it's both, and then some.
I gotta play the others in the series. Although their names are all over the place so I don't know if they're if part of the series or a spin-off or something!
@iDuNdEexuK It is called penny racers in Scotland too because I owned it , can you remember where you bought it from?
I still have this game and world trip adventures. Too bad that my dad won't plug my PS2 in anywhere. ;(
the last time I played this was 3 years ago ;(
@PixieStixxandAdderal I have tried it, its quite good and I can't find a youtube video on it anywhere!
nostalgia trip
I just cant forget me playing this on GBA. Which is what im doing right now
I still think this is a best racing game ever. Charming semirealistic looks on the cars, yet with squashed bodys, simple layouts, awesome music. I'm glad I still have this one, because I bought Penny Racers Party for the Wii, and I felt cheated, because it tried to be too cartoony, and brighter graphics, instead of the slick semi-realistic stuff, and the music, god don't get me started on that AWFUL stuff.
SO. MANY. MEMORIES! i must buy a new PS2 just to play this game! and SSX lol
Can I ask you something? Is Choro Q HG3 (Gadget Racers-the one with Lake Side Castle, Grange Garden etc) on PSN, or is it another game?
I bought a ps2 just to play this game again. Fucking worth it.
i hope they make a new one soon :)
What's the song at the start
NA had Penny Racers for the N64 though. I do agree though, it is confusing, but I had Penny Racers for N64, and I have Choro Q, Gadget Racers and Everywhere Road Trip for the PS2.
I'd buy another Wii if Choro Q Wii ever came out in NA.
Zero Shima I have penny racers for the wii and I had fun with that game because it was part of my childhood.
This game was the shit when i was a kid!
what soundtrack is it at 3:46??? and where can i download it if there is one. plz reply :)
Memories
Have you tried Gadget Racers GBA?
this game is like a mini gt4
Why don't the cheats work and how do you unlock phantom shop???
but one thing where are the pennies
The cars are people in this world, so when you lose to him, you're worse than garbage, I guess thats why xD
The game listed in your description is not the same game as the one you're showing off.
YAAAAAAAAS NOSTALGIA!!!
A few questions about the freakin blue dump truck!!!!! How the hell does the dump truck get into the HG Gp? If you had to think about it, wouldn't it be the richest racer in the game because it enters in every race? Why is it slow and sad? Why do I lap it 5 times in races?

Who doesnt?
That intro do.
Cool Game
I remember that quest line lol
it's true XD, but why? it's a game fun fact because the vehicle in real life is heavy? because in a race all cars have the same configurations, only 1 car is better than the ohters.
when does it come out i dont have the wii lol
I wonder why the cheats won't work for this game x.x L1, L1, R1, R1, L1, R1, L1, R1 at the main menu. How much more specific does it have to be? T__T'
Nostalgia!!
where can I download it ???
Are There Licensed Cars In The Game? Or Fake?
yeeeeah epic!
the best game ever!! :D
penny racers party for wii :)
CONSPIRACY, WHY U NO RELEASE THIS IN NA???? I loved the shit out of this game's predecessor as a kid
They did release gadget rCers in NA
it says on wikipedia it was only released in Europe and japan and says it was going to be released under the road trip name, but it was canceled. yet you can still buy it on ebay.... its weird maybe only the road trip branding was cancelled...

you spelled "under" wrong. that's one thing you need to "understand"!!!
Its a secret car I believe, but its pretty hard to get.
Atleast, thats what my cousin told me after trying for 1 month to get it.
He never told me how to get it though. The son of a bitch. xD
