Lego Stunt Rally is a Lego video game, originally released in 2000. The game is part of the racing game genre. The game also features a track builder mode that builds tracks for single player races and multiplayer matches. One of the features of the game is that the player controls the acceleration and brakes, but steering is controlled automatically (although players can change lanes and influence how their vehicle takes corners). A PlayStation version of the game was planned, but cancelled.^{[GameRankings.com 1]}

Overview/Plot Summary

Mr. X, a multi-billionaire and champion rally racer of his island, invites four amateur racers (Lucky, Chip, Barney & Wrench) to compete against four other racers of Stunt Island. Through the environments City, Desert, Jungle, and Ice, the player must compete with the other champions; Radium, Baron Flambo, Snake, and Glacia. Four other challengers from around the world have also competed. They are Brad Speedo, Sid Vacant, Mega Hurtz, and Sandy Surf. Throughout the game when the player wins races they unlock new features for track building mode including powerups and new track elements.
