(Seems that only Amazon had a UK date of 00.12.19, but date given by others was 00.12.22, which was the standard release day of Friday. Will go with 22nd unless other evidence agreeing with Amazon shows up) |

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
Toy Racer is the sequel to Toy Commander. It was developed by No Cliché, published by Sega and only released in Europe for a budget price of £5 (where £1 of this would go to charity). It was marketed as being an online game, and as a result has no AI players to race against in single-player mode.
A North American version, set to debut shortly after the European copy, was seemingly announced[8], but never materialised.

Charity
A percentage of the game's sales were given to various children's charities across Europe.
In the UK £50,000 was raised for the ELSPA Entertainment Software Charity[9]. Jean-Pierre Papin's Neuf de coeur (Nine of Hearts) foundation received 90,000 Francs from French sales[10], where 10FF of the 69FF price was given to the charity[7]. In Germany and Austria three Deutsche Marks from every game was donated to Herzenswünsche e.V. (Heart Wish)[6] and Saint Anna Children's Hospital in Vienna[5] respectively.
History
The online portions to the game where brought back online in 2014[11][12] and supports both the Modem and the Broadband Adapter.
