2	''Cartoon Network Racing'' is a racing game for Platform/PlayStation2 (developed by Eutechnyx) and Platform/NintendoDS (developed by Firebrand Games) that was published by The Game Factory in 2006. Released to capitalize on ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'''s success three years prior, the [=PlayStation=] 2 version of the game features various characters from the early years of Creator/CartoonNetwork racing together, tag-team style, in a way that would seem very familiar to anyone that had played ''Double Dash!!'' beforehand.
