Konami Krazy Racers (Konami Wai Wai Racing Advance in Japan) is a racing video game, published and developed by Konami, and was released for Game Boy Advance in 2001. It was a GBA launch title, and many people purchased it because it was supposedly very similar to Mario Kart: Super Circuit, as the latter title had not yet been released. As such, it enjoyed brisk sales over the summer of 2001 by people looking for a Mario Kart substitute, as Super Circuit was still yet to be released in late August of that year.
