Okay, I remember there used to be this Saturday morning cartoon about Kuros, some basketball guy and another dude, and Kwirk the tomato thing, travelling around in Bigfoot and fighting villains. While I'd like to know the name of the show, the point is: After every episode was a live segment where a dude reviewed games.

In one of those live review segments, he reviewed a racing game that played from a perspective similar to RC Pro Am. Except, here's the thing: the racers were space ships. And you could fall off the track.

I could swear I've played a ROM of this once, but I can't remember what it was called. And it's kind of bugging me. Anyone else remember this?

Sounds like Galaxy 5000.

Kwirk is one of the few games I played on the original GB back in the day. I remember it being hard as nails. Looking it up on wikipedia it seems as if the game was (unsurprisingly) Japanese design etc. and the article mentioned nothing about a tv show. Does anybody know something else about the show?

Guess I found it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Team_(TV_series) apparently he was only on the show once in a 15 minute segment. I still want to see it, maybe youtube will have the answer!
