Play Konami Wai Wai Racing Advance Online

Konami Wai Wai Racing Advance came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, a time when the handheld was flooded with inventive, often quirky titles. Published by Konami, it was part of a series that mashed up characters from their various franchises into unexpected genres, and this entry focused on top-down racing.

You control a vehicle, often piloted by a character from a Konami series like Contra or Gradius, and race through themed tracks against other familiar faces. The main objective is to finish first, but the real challenge comes from navigating hazards and using weapons. You collect power-ups that let you fire missiles or drop mines to disrupt opponents, while also dodging stage-specific obstacles like Medusa Heads from Castlevania. The pacing is frantic, the tracks are tight, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly. It feels like a chaotic, joyful scramble where memorizing the course is just as important as pure speed.
