Game
Wacky Wheels was the PC's reaction to Super Mario Kart. It plays similarly and uses many of the game mechanics that the SNES game used. You choose a cartoon animal to drive your go-kart and race around the track picking up bombs, oil slicks, fireballs, and hedgehogs to throw at the other racers. If you win the race you go on to the next track. There are also battle mode games where you skip the race and merely try to finish off your opponent. Above what the SNES game allows, Wacky Racers has a modem battle where you can race your friends from anywhere in the world.
Music
The music for Wacky Wheels is surprising good for General MIDI. The tracks vary from upbeat rock music to slower bass-driven tunes. There are also a few silly carnival tracks as well. Mark Klem did a good job with it.
Ripping
The type 1 MIDI music was ripped from the Wacky.DAT file. Track titles are listed in the header of the file as well as in the meta data of the MIDI files. There is also a KLM file (probably named after the music's creator) for each music file, but the contents of these files are unknown. The music was played through the Microsoft MIDI driver with output and recorded using Winamp. The music here doesn't sound identical to how it does in the game because a superior MIDI synthesizer is used over the one used in Wacky Wheels. While the music is more hi-fi, it doesn't sound 100% accurate to the choppy output that the game generates.
