I had this game only as a child, losing it because when I got a Playstation 2 my mom thought that having a Playstation 1 was redundant and threw it out, along with half the games with it. This was one of the most memorable games for some reason. I just remember it being really weird and having a lot of colorful canisters you pick up and a lot of gibberish I couldn't understand because I was around 3-4 at the time I played it.
I recently got a totally legit copy of the game after it came to my mind one day like it occasionally does while reminiscing on my childhood. I decided to stream it with some friends as a silly game from my baby years.
Holy shit.
This game is garbage. maneuvering ranges from too stiff to way too touchy depending on if you're drifting or not, Gallon, the character with 1 acceleration, takes over 5 seconds to get to his maximum speed from standstill, weight classes cause characters to fucking die (I was playing as the lightest character, so I had to avoid everyone as characters with 2-3 weight would spin me out or tumble me and those at 4-5 would just flatten me if I even touched them), the main character has the worst stats in the game, and the track layouts are fucking abhorrent. The second stage has cacti that are literally right after turns and boulders that fall with no warning, the third level has extreme ice physics, the fourth level is extremely with asshole tier turns, and the sixth level has a mandatory off road section. Oh also, if you crash into a wall you just tumble out and lose shit tons of time, sometimes even being turned in a different direction which causes you to wrestle with this game's very archaic reversing controls. I'm so glad that you only need to get 3rd place in each race to progress, as I never once had gotten 1st.
Oh, and that gibberish I mentioned I couldn't understand. Yeah the dialogue in this game is completely untranslated with no subtitles, so those weird fever dreams of trying to remember what the pre-race announcers said ending up being meaningless to me was really funny honestly.
That's how I would describe this game. Streaming with a few friends and taking the piss out of this really made it better, joking about all the absurdities, like how Captain, the character who his bio states is "hellbent on winning" gave me tips before literally every track, or how the character I was playing was really bad at driving because she's 4 or just how broken the level design is.
One final thing to note, this game has pre rendered maps for each level, and the final level had a rainbow road like texture on its course, but when you play it the course texture is more like Saturn's rings.
WE WERE FUCKING CLICKBAITED IN A 2000 PS1 GAME!
This game is pure dog shit, but it's my dog shit. Will probably never play again, but it certainly has a lot of memories now, both from my youth and my adulthood.
