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.

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

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.

Tropes used in Freaky Flyers include:

• Art Shift: Sometimes cutscenes are presented as still drawings, almost slideshow style (Marcel Moreso's pre-Bandito Attack cutscene).
• Casanova Wannabe: Johnny
• Chasing Your Tail: The final boss floats backwards around a ringed planet throwing obsticals at you. Not suprising considering the game mechanics.
• Double In-Law Marriage: Myrna, Margaret, and the twins, if you consider Myrna and Margaret "sisters".
• Full Name Ultimatum: Sven "Mitchel" 209.
• Everything Is Better With Monkeys : With jetpacks too!
• Game Levels
  • Remilitarized Zone: Bombsburg
  • Shifting Sand Land: Cave of Blunders
  • Womb Level: Intestinal Track
• Germanic Efficiency / All Germans Are Nazis: Traci and her german narrator go into fits of shouting whenever they talk about the GLORY OF THE FATHERLAND!
  • Also Traci was created by Opperation Female Bombshell.
• Gross Up Close-Up: Andre Latoilette, much to Johnny's horror.
• Hot Librarian: Myrna Bookbottom.
• Humongous Mecha: End Boss.
• Insult Backfire

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
