Speed Racer: The Beginning hitting iOS devices next month

The last Speed Racer video game based on the iconic television show came out back in 1998 for Sony’s PlayStation. Since then, we haven’t had a game that truly pays homage to the series that brought us those classic out-of-sync voice-overs.

Social Games International and Speed Racer Enterprises hopes to change that and have partnered to launch a mobile game based on series.

Speed Racer: The Beginning is scheduled for release in April and will give players a side-scrolling racing game putting them behind the wheel of the Mach 5. Each race is full of challenges to overcome but will also come with power-ups, boosts, and “Trixie helicopter rides.” Fans of the show will also appreciate authentic video clips before and after each race.

Speed Racer: The Beginning will be available on all iOS devices next month. Until then, you can visit the game’s Facebook page to learn more about the game.
