Wacky Races: Anime Edition
In the year of our lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-eight, a cross over, was unleashed on the cartoon viewing world. It was known as Hannah Barbera's "Wacky Races." It lasted for two years, until the year of our lord, nineteen hundred and seventy (the year pirates were once better than ninjas, JUST once). It featured such classic characters as, Penelope Pitstop and the Pink pussycat, Lazy Luke and Blubberbear and the Arkansas Chug-a-Bug, The Anthill Gang and the bulletproof bomb, and of course, everyone's favorite villain, Dick Dastardly and Muttley and the Mean Machine.
One week ago today, an epiphany was brought to my attention, by FaithNoManga: "Why don't we re-create the Wacky Races with Anime and Manga stars?" My response: "That's a stupid idea. You're a retard………..I'm down." And so It began.
Wacky Races: Anime Edition is set up slightly faithfully to the original Wacky Races series. Any character from a series with a unique mode of transportation (Goku and the Nimbus Cloud, for example) get to compete in a series of courses, inspired by different anime and manga series (SnakeWay from DragonBall Z, The weird tube race track from the Speedracer movie, The Piffle Corporation Race from Tsubasa: RESERVior ChrOnicles, among them). Certain rules and restrictions have to be applied:
Characters with Supernatural abilities, like the energy waves from DragonBall Z, are forbidden to use their powers in these cases any electronic device will be attached to the user, to detect if he uses an other worldly power, giving him an electric shock, if he does so.
Any character caught breaking a specified rule, is given the aforementioned electric shock after 3 (three) electric shocks, the driver and the vehicle are blown up and disqualified from the race.
Rules vary from place to place, depending on the Manga or Anime series.
There are 5 (five) race series, with point values, determined by finishing racer with the most points at the end is declared the series winner.
