Line 164:
* In the episode "Death Race to Oblivion" of ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', the interstellar warlord Mongul forces five superheroes and five supervillains to participate in the titular death race. The Batmobile and its ilk are already pretty [[Wacky Races]] in expressing the owner's, uh, preferences, but this episode revels in it.
* 'Johnny Kart Racing' in ''[[Johnny Test]]'' centered around this. Notably, the episode starts off as a normal soapbox car race between Johnny and Dukey, snowballs into this trope as more and more racers enter, and the soapboxes are swapped for real cars. Also noteworthy is that a lampshade is hung [[Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat]].
* [[The BBC]]'s ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110906214736/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/about/programmes/kerwhizz.shtml Kerwhizz]'' is a mostly-CGI, pre-school game show, in which three teams consisting of a kid and his/her android [[Non-Human Sidekick]] answer questions before racing their pods around a themed "race world". One suspects the writers may be paying homage to ''[[Wacky Races]]'' with titles like "Fun Food Freeway", "Moonlight Night Flight" and "The Deserted Desert Dash".
* ''Bailey's Comets'' was an obscure De Patie-Freleng show from 1973 (airing on CBS) about ten teams of roller skaters, including the titular Comets, who are on a cross-country marathon race to find a treasure.
* [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]] had one.
