Added DiffLines:

* CloudCuckooLander: While about half the cast counts to some degree, unlockable character TEK-9 is notable for either thinking he is genuinely a fantasy hero or far too committed to a LARP-ing role.


Added DiffLines:

* DungeonBypass: The nine default characters are split into three classes, each class attached to a certain type of exclusive shortcut found around the various courses that allows them to skip a bit of the course or bypass segments that would otherwise slow them down. Collecting ten of a certain pickup grants access to all three types of shortcuts regardless of character.

Added DiffLines:

* LoopholeAbuse: Non-Basher class characters can utilize Basher-exclusive shortcuts simply by following behind a Basher that has opened the shortcut first, something that cannot be achieved with the Dasher or Glider-exclusive shortcuts.

'''Mad Dash Racing''' is a video game released in 2001 for the original UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}. It was developed by Creator/CrystalDynamics and published by Eidos Interactive. It's a racing game with the twist that the characters all race on foot.

Unfortunately, the game never was made backwards compatible with the UsefulNotes/Xbox360[[note]]technically, it was, but only a couple seconds into a race, the game freezes[[/note]] and hasn't been re-released for the UsefulNotes/XboxOne, so the only way to play it is to still have an original Xbox and game disc.

!! This game contains examples of:
* BootstrappedTheme: The song created specifically for the game, "Mad Dash", only plays on certain levels. Whereas the song that is heard every time you start the game is "Roll it Up" by The Crystal Method, so it's easier to claim that as the game's theme song.
* {{Cameo}}: VideoGame/{{Gex}} is one of the hidden characters.
* LethalLavaLand: Mt. Magma.
