"Wacky Races: Starring Dastardly and Muttley Wacky Races/Wacky Races: Starring Dastardly and Muttley is a 2000 racing video game developed and published by Infogrames for the Dreamcast and later for PlayStation 2 in 2001. The game is based on the cartoon series ""Wacky Races"" which features 11 vehicles all racing over various landscapes to win first place. The vehicles featured include the most infamous vehicle in the series, The Mean Machine driven by Dick Dastardly and Muttley. The game includes two modes: Arcade and Adventure.

Dastardly in this series wore old-fashioned racer's gear — a long blue duster overcoat often worn by early motorists, along with long red gloves, a large striped hat with driving goggles attached, and sporting a handlebar mustache. Dastardly was aided in his schemes by his sidekick, a scruffy anthropomorphic dog named Muttley who had a distinctive wheezy laugh, heard most often when Dastardly's schemes failed.
