Freaky Flyers

""What are you waiting for? Jump in your plane and get freaky!""

- The Narrator

Freaky Flyers is a 2003 plane based combat/racer game released by Midway for the Xbox, Playstation 2 and Gamecube. Adventure mode sets you in a wacky cartoonish world where 14 colorful characters compete in races across wild and exotic locations.

Each character has his/her own story that progresses throughout the competition, told with a combination of pre-rendered cutscenes and still images with narration.

Freaky Flyers contains examples of the following:

"Narrator: [She's a] GENETIC MUTANT FREAK!
 * Art Shift: Sometimes cutscenes are presented as still drawings, almost slideshow style (Marcel Moreso's pre-Bandito Attack cutscene).
 * Casanova Wannabe: Johnny

 * Double In-Law Marriage:
 * Full Name Ultimatum: Sven "Mitchel" 209.
 * Everything Is Better With Monkeys : With jetpacks too!
 * Game Levels
 * Remilitarized Zone: Bombsburg

Johnny: Really?... I think that's kind of HOT!"


 * Lemony Narrator: do you enjoy long walks on the beach and quiet time with voice-over guys?
 * Mad Libs Dialogue: All of the "Spinning Paper" cutscenes that mention Danger Island have this monotone dub over said island's name, with no other explanation. Mysterious.
 * Master of Disguise: Pilot X reveals himself to every character for the final battle, even the one where he starts out as himself.
 * The Speechless / The Voiceless: The Marcel Moreso Bros were born mimes and SVEN-209 is a robot, so it's unknown if they can't or won't talk.
 * Split Personality: Myrna Bookbottom is a polite librarian, being ridiculously proper and restrained with no outlet has caused her to develop an alter ego in the persona of Margaret Basher, a rude and outright violent woman.
 * Spinning Paper: The intro and some of the cutscenes.
 * Thememobile
 * The lumberjack carved his plane out of wood.
 * The german girl flys a red barron-esq bi tri-plane.
 * The mafia don flys a plane that looks like a luxury mobster car.
