I played a Japanese Speed Racer game for the PS1 when I was a kid. It probably hasn't aged well but I remember it having all the cool Mach 5 gadgets that were in the show. Was also one of the first racing games I played that didn't slow you down or penalize you when driving through the infield lol.

Sadly I don't think Speed Racer is that popular in the west; can't recall anyone in school even knowing what it was.

Pretty damn good, but unfortunately suffering from a lot of graphical errors in MAME (the road is sometimes invisible, and the game has gaps you need to jump over, thus you can't see them at times). I played it on location a few times and it's good fun. Bizarrely, there doesn't seem to a Japanese release, no "Mach GoGoGo" version.

The Arcade game was the best with the steering wheel buttons. Also Speed Racer has good reaction images.

I was playing that game yesterday.
The framerate on the racing levels is terrible, but I still enjoyed it, the driving controls were ok at least.
The 2D action segments... I pass.

Want to know something funny? Speed Racer was never popular in Japan and only known for being big in America, but they absolutely fucking adore Wacky Races for some reason.
