    Loading...
    S1:E13

    The Wacky Races gang competes in The Zippy Mississippi Race, a wild river race filled with gators, whirlpools, and outrageous antics. As racers like Miss Magnolia, The Gator Brothers, and Professor Paddle speed down the river, the scheming Dastardly Duke tries every dirty trick to take the lead. Boats get stuck in trees, hovercrafts malfunction, and gumbo geysers cause chaos, but in an unexpected twist, Lazy Louie drifts across the finish line first—completely unaware he was even racing. While the others fume over their losses, Dastardly Duke ends up foiled by his own tricks once again.

    #12 - Traffic Jambalaya

    Loading...
    S1:E14

    The Wacky Races crew takes on the Traffic Jambalaya, a chaotic race through the bustling, maze-like streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras! With colorful floats, parades, jazz bands, and a sea of costumed revelers blocking the way, the racers must find creative (and often ridiculous) ways to navigate the gridlocked city. Dastardly Duke attempts to clear his path with a giant fan, only to send himself flying into a gumbo stand, while Miss Magnolia gracefully maneuvers through the madness without spilling her tea. As shortcuts through alleyways, rooftops, and even a steamboat fail spectacularly, it’s The Gator Brothers & The Bayou Bullet who unexpectedly take the win—thanks to a sneaky detour through the sewers!
