The Care Bears: Care-A-Lot Racing (IDEA)
(Originally conceived on Amino, but i couldn’t find the OG post, so a lot of what you’re about to read is based on remembering what i originally posted)
Hear me out…
A Care Bears Racing Video Game, but not necessarily a Mario Kart clone;
Take EVERY ERA of Care Bears and throw it ALL into one cohesive game!
SYNOPSIS: Various villains from Care Bears media have all come together to stop The Care Bears once and for all by hosting a racing tournament in an effort to “trick the Care Bears” for their own dastardly deeds, coincidentally, on the EXACT SAME DAY that The Care Bears decide to host their OWN racing tournament to determine “The Fastest Bear in Care-A-Lot”.
After getting the news of each others tournaments, a “semi-tense” meeting takes place which results in a “temporary truce” between The Care Bears and The Baddies: Winner receives “The Care-A-Lot Cup”!
However there’s a catch…
If The Care Bears lose, Care-A-Lot is gone forever!
If the Villains lose, they MUST “end their ways” or “disappear”; NEVER to cause trouble to The Care Bears ever again!
THE GAME:
Picture this; Customization like Need For Speed Underground 2, Racing Physics on-par to Mario Kart/Crash Team Racing (or even the Forza games) and a “Career Mode” stylized like old-school Gran Turismo (1, 2 & 3)
TRACKS:
20+ different tracks taking place among ALL ERAS of Care Bears in the art style of their media counterparts; 80’s Nelvana’s Care-A-Lot, Joke-A-Lot, WtCaL’s Gloomy Glen, The Silver Lining, etc, etc…
(not to mention potential Reverse courses…)
3 STORY MODES:
1: Pick-A-Bear; Choose from over 40 different Care Bears with their own unique story, vehicles & customization based on their personalities and WHY they want to win “The Care-A-Lot Cup”.
2: Pick-A-Baddie; from sidekicks to background characters, ALL with their own unique story. (kinda like the Hero/Dark mode from Sonic Heroes) (for those who want the bad guys to win)
3: Custom; CREATE A BEAR OR BADDIE with it’s own generative story based on who/what you pick, including a Create-A-Badge feature (similar to the WWE games in terms of uploading your own images, customization, etc.)
VEHICLES:
50+ racing vehicles with their own unique stats and physics, INCLUDING a Create-A-Vehicle option to build your own based on a wide variety of selected parts.
Possible Q&A responses:
Have you ever wanted to race against Malcom in “Stormy” as Love-A-Lot Bear??? (or something equally as bizarre)
YES YOU CAN!
Can i customize clothing for my bear/baddie???
YES! Multiple articles of clothing, ALL with a range of color options OR color wheel!
What “villains” would i go up against???
*EDIT: The Main 5 being Professor Coldheart, The Evil Spirit, No Heart, Grizzle and Bluster.
Mini-bosses would include Sir Funnybone, UR-2, Robbie, and Sour Sam as examples.
Weapons system???
As odd as this sounds, on-track power-ups would be limited to variants of speed boosts,
more “practical effects”, like a bouncy power-up that when you hit other racers they bounce around like bumper cars for a moment (hitting the wall, objects, etc.)
OR…
Each Bear (at least) has 1 unique power-up they could use. (examples: Tenderheart using a balloon to “teleport” ahead a little bit, or Grumpy using his storm cloud on an opponent to make their driving slippery like their on ice, or Love-A-Lot using a “heart shield” on an opponent to limit their top speed for a moment, or even Wish Bear being able to temporarily transform her vehicles into a shooting star to zip past opponents with ease (invincibility Star from Mario)).
Would there be different “skins” for each character???
Even in Custom Mode/Create-A-Bear, Wanna look like an AiCaL Bear in DiC Series 80’s Care-A-Lot? YOU CAN!
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: This is JUST an idea i’ve had for the last few years, but i have to ask…
Wouldn’t this sound AWESOME?!?!?
