Upon release, the game received mixed reviews, with reviewers praising the design and variety of the circuits, but critiquing the game's controls and handling, difficulty and lack of originality in the genre.

The game is a kart racing game in which players compete as Inspector Gadget and other characters, including Penny and Dr. Claw,[1] in races held across twenty circuits, with players starting with three available tracks and unlocking additional ones as they win each in order.

[7] Kendy Ty of Joypad enjoyed the game's "colourful" and cartoonish graphics, but critiqued the game's "very slow" pacing and "lack of sensation of speed", which made it have "too much inertia and makes it quite difficult to get to grips with".

[2] Oliver Lan of G-Force found the game to be "completely uninspiring", stating "the vehicles feel slow and clunky, and the races are devoid of excitement".
