Muppet RaceMania is a PlayStation racing game based on The Muppets franchise that was developed by Traveller's Tales and released in 2000.

Gameplay

[edit]

The game includes 25 playable muppet characters and 25 vehicles. Players can race on 34 tracks based on locations throughout The Muppets franchise.

In a race, there are stars and fruits on the track which the racers can collect. A star gives the racer one of three weapons which can be used to attack other racers. Collecting fruit increases a colored gauge. Once the gauge is full, the racer can do one of two super moves: one the cripples the other racers, and one that makes the racer fly and move faster. The effect of the super move ends once the gauge empties.

Reception

[edit]

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3] However, Eric Bratcher of NextGen called it "A substandard kart racer that unsuccessfully relies upon the Muppets' huge charisma to overcome its technical shortcomings."[12]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Three critics of GameFan gave the game each a score of 84, 54, and 50.
