Plane Crazy

Plane Crazy is an American animated short film directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. The cartoon, released in 1929 by the Walt Disney Studios, was the first creation of the character Mickey Mouse. It was made as a silent film and given a test screening to a theater audience on May 15, 1928, but failed to pick up a distributor. Later that year, Disney released Mickey's first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, which was an enormous success. Following this, Plane Crazy was released as a sound cartoon on March 17, 1929. It was the fourth Mickey film to be released after Steamboat Willie, The Gallopin' Gaucho, and The Barn Dance (1928).

Synopsis

Plane Crazy (video game)

Plane Crazy, released on September 30, 1998, is a racing game in which contestants pilot racing planes through a number of 3D courses. Plane Crazy owed more to kart style racing games rather than flight sims, and made a few concessions to realism, relying instead on fast-paced action. Published by SegaSoft, the game supported the Heat.net multiplayer gaming system, with up to eight players allowed in one race.

Gameplay

In Plane Crazy the player pilots a fast, cartoon like plane, built for speed across a variety of levels against seven other opponents. The objective of each level is to make it to the finish as fast as possible and try to finish first before the other players do. There is also a set time limit where players must fly through checkpoints dotted along the course. The timer resets once you have flown through the checkpoint. If the player should fail, and don't reach the checkpoint before the timer runs out, the plane will veer out of control and crash, and it will be "Game Over".
