Disney RaceMania is a racing game that was published by THQ through Disney Interactive and developed by Pacific Coast Power & Light (with additional work by Traveller's Tales) and released originally for the PlayStation.

A next-gen version was commissioned to Digital Illusions CE (with additional work by PCP&L) after the strong sales of the original PlayStation version, starting with the PlayStation 2 and GameCube (acting as a launch title for the latter). An XBOX port followed in 2002 with additional content made for it.

Versions for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance were made by Tiertex Design Studios and Climax Group respectively. The GBC version was released in 2001, while the GBA version was released a year later. A version for the Nintendo 64 was planned and even promoted, but it got cancelled mid-way into production due to the developers wanting to focus on Nintendo's successor console, the GameCube. A Windows version was made and was later released in 2002, being a port of the PS1 version with differences. A Dreamcast version was completed, but it didn't get released due to the discontinuation of the console.

Plot

Various Disney characters each receive a letter invitation to compete in a Grand Prix for the top prize, the Sorcerer's Hat Award. The host of the competition, also the individual who sent the invitations, is an unknown, unseen driver of a sleek, black car with a tinted dome window and a big, blue motor simply dubbed as the Mystery Rider, which the participating racers are challenged to beat, as well as each other.
