Muppet RaceMania is a chaotic kart racer released in 2000 for the PlayStation by Traveller’s Tales. Starring Jim Henson’s iconic characters, the game spans the Muppets’ six theatrically released films up to that point, letting players race through tracks inspired by locations from The Muppet Movie all the way to Muppets from Space. Featuring 25 selectable charactersโincluding Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzoโalong with a wide variety of unlockable vehicles, the game is loaded with signature Muppet humor. Players collect power-ups like chickens and penguins to blast opponents, navigate vibrant shortcuts, and engage in multiple modes including Tournament, Adventure, and various battle arenas.
How to Play
Navigate the tracks, collect power-ups to disrupt your rivals, and aim for first place to unlock new characters and vehicles. In the browser emulator, the default PlayStation controls map the Arrow keys to the D-pad for steering. Use Z, X, A, or S for the face buttons (Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle) to accelerate, brake, and use items. The Enter and Shift keys function as Start and Select.
Tips
- Master the Power-ups: Save your stronger items like the penguin or bomb for crucial moments, especially on tight corners or near the finish line where opponents are clustered.
- Look for Shortcuts: Many tracks feature hidden paths or shortcuts. Pay attention to branching roads and off-road areas that might shave seconds off your lap time if you have a speed boost.
- Learn Your Vehicle: Different characters and vehicles have varying stats in speed, handling, and acceleration. If you are struggling on a curvy track, switch to a vehicle with better handling.
