Everything in this intro was rendered and looked quite decent, but compared to the real intros and game its a shock at the differences.
The next intro starts off with Dick Dastidly and Muttly shouting at you then the name in Japanese Wacky Races coming up. They then come back on and shout and laugh at you again. now a really fast screen full of boxes with the different Wacky Races characters comes up. Each character etc is fully rendered and look so real. Then Dick and Muttly come back on and try and tell you something (i have no idea what the Japanese guys are saying). Then they laugh at you loudly again and then the screen clears. Dick and Mutterly rendered figures start to fill the screen (like pasteing effect) and they laugh and laugh with an echo and all running at different times/rates.
Now the game starts. You are presented with a like suitcase thing and you have a like mouse cursor to move around (in the shape of a muttly paw print). You have to click on the rendered suitcase to obviously open it up. Once this is done you are talked to by a weird zeppidy springy like character and stuff. After so long your presented with a menu screen, options are `RacesTV', `Trip', `Save.Load', `Help' `Exit'.
Now you are presented with a little betting area choice screen.
All the character/vehicles are show in boxes (all rendered) again all round the outside of the screen and they are highlighted one at a time at a very fast rate. You can Exit this or carry on, you have to choose 2 cars and bet on them to win (the winner is the character you use basically in the game). Every time you pick a character a new picture is shown it its same original box and more speech explaining something comes on.
There must be a range of different race intros as i've seen two so far. Any the screen rotates/scales and is so fast and rendered cars are whizzing everywhere and doing silly things like stretching and blowing up. The graphics are absolutely beautifully rendered and theres so much happening like blowing up bridges and cars flying to there doom and stuff like that. Basically like the cartoon but you have to see it to believe it.
Now your playing with your character who won the race, i played with them 5-6 gangsta guyz, and i was greeted with a screen of fellow racers. I had to click on each one and some offered me some goodys, like i had a camera and some hair tonic style stuff. Once you have all you think you can get you click on your character (gangsta car), and then after the Japanese speech and intro i had to give him one of my items, so i gave him the hair tonicy thing. Then it showed the gang driving down a street towards the screen, whilst they were singing and stuff. Then i was presented with another door? i opened it and then Pinelipy Pitstop greeted me with a bottle of Shampoo and Milk for sale. Now you have to pay her some money to get one of the items. I paid her and i picked the wrong one up, which was the shampoo. It was funny though as i drank it and she was moving and talking to me but i was high and see looked weirddddddd haha. Anyway you are supposed to drink the milk. After doing this i was greeted in a room by the evil Dick and Mutterly, they muttered some crap and then Dick layed 5 playing cards on the table. He then proceeded to turn one over, then it was my turn. I turned one over and he was very pi**ed off. He had a 5 and i got an Ace, so we must have played the highest card or sommit. Then he shouted at mutterly and he laughed so Dick smashed him hard and threw the table up in the air, all these stars were floating through the screen haha. We then were outside and i guess Dick wanted his money back which i had won. So i could not give him an object or nothing so i picked another option which put me back in the cockpit of my car. I picked the option special and the car picked Dick up and smashed him against the window screen hahaha he was hurt and moaning. Then it asked me if i wanted to save what i had done. YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
