Reception
Five reviewers on Electronic Gaming Monthly scored the Game Gear version an average score 7.4 out of 10, comparing it to an 8-bit version of Road Runner's Death Valley Rally. Four reviewers on GamePro scored the Game Gear version an average score 3.4 out of 5, criticizing its low quality graphics and music and it's hard difficulty. Power Unlimited gave the Game Gear version a score of 78% writing: "Packed with bonus levels, cartoon jokes and well-hidden power-ups. The character of Road Runner comes out very well. Fun, difficult and original."
