Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour is a Sega Dreamcast racing game featuring Disney characters.

Gameplay

As the name implies Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour is a racing game with courses loosely based on attractions at Walt Disney World (as it stood in 1999/2000).

Characters

While the mascots of Walt Disney World include the likes of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Magical Racing Tour prides itself in having "original Disney characters", with most of the cast being designed specfically for this game. The major exceptions are Chip and Dale (in their Rescue Rangers attire) and the unlockable Jiminy Cricket from the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio (who doubles up as the narrator).

	Otto Plugnut

	Oliver Chickly III

	Polly Roger

	Baron Karlott

Tracks

Tracks in Magical Racing Tour are based on attractions from Walt Disney World parks, many of which were originally designed for the original Disneyland. Most of the attractions chosen are those which are not tied to Disney films.

At the time of release, the park now known as Disney's Hollywood Studios was called "Disney-MGM Studios" due to a licensing agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Magical Racing Tour opts just to call the area "Disney Studios", with all MGM references removed.

Race

	Big Thunder Mountain (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1980.
	Haunted Mansion (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on The Haunted Mansion, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1971.
	Jungle Cruise (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on Jungle Cruise, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1971.
	Pirates of the Caribbean (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on Pirates of the Caribbean, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1973. Magical Racing Tour pre-dates the successful film franchise of which the name is more closely associated with now.
	Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on Space Mountain, which debuted in the Magic Kingdom in 1975.
	Tomorrowland Speedway (Magic Kingdom)
	Based on Tomorrowland Speedway, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1971.
	Rockin' Roller Coaster (Disney Studios)
	Based on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, sans Aerosmith. Debuting in 1999, this is the newest attraction represented in Magical Racing Tour.
	Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom)
	Based on Dinosaur, which debuted in 1998 as "Countdown to Extinction". In 2000 the ride was re-branded to tie itself with the film with the same name, although the contents were largely unchanged.
	Blizzard Beach
	Based on the Blizzard Beach water park which debuted in 1995.
	Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom)
	An unlockable track based on Splash Mountain, whose Magic Kingdom version opened in 1992. This is the only track to be based on one of Disney's movie properties, namely the animated sequences of the (infamous) 1946 film Song of the South, and marks one of the few occasions where content from the film has been made available to home consumers.
