The road is a dangerous place when overrun with wild animals in go-karts! Wacky Wheels HD is the official reboot of Apogee's classic 1994 racing game. Featuring the original gang plus new racers, you'll battle through 16 uniquely themed tracks using iconic powerups like hedgehogs. Experience Grand Prix, Time Trial, and the chaotic Duck Hunt mode across 4 arenas. With a remastered soundtrack and a HD 'Mode 7' cartoon art style, this game brings the nostalgia of 90s karting to modern mobile devices with full MFi gamepad support.

75/100

Wacky Wheels HD is a delightful blast from the past for anyone who grew up playing the original MS-DOS kart racer. It successfully captures the 'Mode 7' aesthetic of the 90s while cleaning up the visuals for modern HD displays. The roster of wild animals, including classics like Sultan the elephant and newcomers like Hari the grizzly, brings a lot of personality to the tracks. The gameplay is pure arcade fun—it’s less about realistic physics and more about power-ups, tight turns, and chucking hedgehogs at your rivals.

While the game is a great piece of nostalgia, it does feel a bit dated compared to modern kart racers like Mario Kart Tour. The controls can be a bit bunched up on smaller screens, and the lack of a modern tutorial might leave new players confused about some of the older mechanics. However, for those looking for a faithful reboot of a cult classic, complete with a remastered version of that iconic soundtrack, Wacky Wheels HD delivers exactly what it promises. It’s a quirky, ferocious, and fun return to the track.

Fun piece of nostalgia, but....

This needs a few improvements, to make it truly an enjoyable experience on iPad. First of all, instructions for players that haven’t used the game in YEARS, would be nice. Secondly, why doesn’t this game have the option to use the controls on my attached keyboard (or even recognize that I have a keyboard)?? Thirdly, if I am playing it without my keyboard (as it seems I have to, currently), it would be a lot easier if the right and left arrows were on the corresponding corners of the screen, instead of bunched up at the left corner. Especially since I am not left-handed!!

Lots of Fun
