Mickey's Racing Adventure is a 1999 racing video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Color. It was followed by Mickey's Speedway USA in 2001.

Gameplay

[edit]

Mickey's Racing Adventure is a single-player racing game with adventure elements.[1] It is played from an isometric perspective and races consist of land or water tracks.[2]

Development and release

[edit]

Mickey's Racing Adventure was developed by Rare over the course of approximately six months.[3] It is the company's second Game Boy Color game. It includes extra mini-games based on Guttang Gottong.[4] It supports the Game Boy Color's infrared port to transmit data between machines, including unlocking a secret track in Mickey's Speedway USA.[1][5] The game was released in November 1999.[4]

Reception

[edit]

Mickey's Racing Adventure received positive reviews from critics. IGN reviewer Craig Harris felt that it was Rare's "first real quality Game Boy Color-exclusive title" after their "atrocious" Conker's Pocket Tales,[1] while GameSpot praised the number of tracks and characters to choose from, stating that Mickey's Racing Adventure "shows how Game Boy racers should be done".[2] N64 Magazine said that the game successfully combines the exploration aspects of Rare's Diddy Kong Racing with the racing style of R.C. Pro-Am for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but criticised the lack of a multiplayer mode.[8] Game Informer gave the game an overall score of 8 out of 10 noting the game being well designed, especially for a Disney game, and commenting that the game has plenty of racing courses, characters, power ups and vehicle upgrades.[11]
