"What are you waiting for? Jump in your plane and get freaky!"
—The Narrator

Freaky Flyers is a 2003 plane based combat/racer game released by Midway for the Xbox, Playstation 2 and Gamecube. Adventure mode sets you in a wacky cartoonish world where 14 colorful characters compete in races across wild and exotic locations.

Each character has his/her own story that progresses throughout the competition, told with a combination of pre-rendered cutscenes and still images with narration.


Freaky Flyers contains examples of the following:

Narrator: [She's a] GENETIC MUTANT FREAK!
Johnny: Really?... I think that's kind of HOT!

  • Lemony Narrator: do you enjoy long walks on the beach and quiet time with voice-over guys?
  • Mad Libs Dialogue: All of the "Spinning Paper" cutscenes that mention Danger Island have this monotone dub over said island's name, with no other explanation. Mysterious.
  • Master of Disguise: Pilot X reveals himself to every character for the final battle, even the one where he starts out as himself.
  • The Speechless / The Voiceless: The Marcel Moreso Bros were born mimes and SVEN-209 is a robot, so it's unknown if they can't or won't talk.
  • Split Personality: Myrna Bookbottom is a polite librarian, being ridiculously proper and restrained with no outlet has caused her to develop an alter ego in the persona of Margaret Basher, a rude and outright violent woman.
  • Spinning Paper: The intro and some of the cutscenes.
  • Thememobile
    • The lumberjack carved his plane out of wood.
    • The german girl flys a red barron-esq bi tri-plane.
    • The mafia don flys a plane that looks like a luxury mobster car.
    • The biker gang leader rides a bike shaped plane with ape hangers.
    • The billionaire oil sheik has a carpet with an engine on the back (somehow).
  • Wacky Racing
