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.
