Freaky Flyers

"What are you waiting for? Jump in your plane and get freaky!" —The Narrator

Freaky Flyers is a 2003 plane based combat/racer game released by Midway for the Xbox, Playstation 2 and Gamecube. Adventure mode sets you in a wacky cartoonish world where 14 colorful characters compete in races across wild and exotic locations.

Each character has his/her own story that progresses throughout the competition, told with a combination of pre-rendered cutscenes and still images with narration.

---

Freaky Flyers contains examples of the following:

• Art Shift: Sometimes cutscenes are presented as still drawings, almost slideshow style (Marcel Moreso's pre-Bandito Attack cutscene).
• Casanova Wannabe: Johnny
• Chasing Your Tail: The final boss floats backwards around a ringed planet throwing obsticals at you. Not suprising considering the game mechanics.
• Double In-Law Marriage: Myrna, Margaret, and the twins, if you consider Myrna and Margaret "sisters".
• Full Name Ultimatum: Sven "Mitchel" 209.
• Everything Is Better With Monkeys : With jetpacks too!
• Game Levels
  • Remilitarized Zone: Bombsburg
  • Shifting Sand Land: Cave of Blunders
  • Womb Level: Intestinal Track
• Germanic Efficiency / All Germans Are Nazis: Traci and her german narrator go into fits of shouting whenever they talk about the GLORY OF THE FATHERLAND!
  • Also Traci was created by Opperation Female Bombshell.
• Gross Up Close-Up: Andre Latoilette, much to Johnny's horror.
• Hot Librarian: Myrna Bookbottom.
• Humongous Mecha: End Boss.
• Insult Backfire

Narrator: [She's a] GENETIC MUTANT FREAK! Johnny: Really?... I think that's kind of HOT!

• Lemony Narrator: do you enjoy long walks on the beach and quiet time with voice-over guys?
• Mad Libs Dialogue: All of the "Spinning Paper" cutscenes that mention Danger Island have this monotone dub over said island's name, with no other explanation. Mysterious.
• Master of Disguise: Pilot X reveals himself to every character for the final battle, even the one where he starts out as himself.
• The Speechless / The Voiceless: The Marcel Moreso Bros were born mimes and SVEN-209 is a robot, so it's unknown if they can't or won't talk.
• Split Personality: Myrna Bookbottom is a polite librarian, being ridiculously proper and restrained with no outlet has caused her to develop an alter ego in the persona of Margaret Basher, a rude and outright violent woman.
• Spinning Paper: The intro and some of the cutscenes.
• Thememobile
  • The lumberjack carved his plane out of wood.
  • The german girl flys a red barron-esq bi tri-plane.
  • The mafia don flys a plane that looks like a luxury mobster car.
  • The biker gang leader rides a bike shaped plane with ape hangers.
  • The billionaire oil sheik has a carpet with an engine on the back (somehow).
• Wacky Racing
