Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

This little friend was parked right in the middle of a pathway thinking it was completely invisible. LOL I moved it to a safe spot. Love how its antennae almost look like blades of grass.

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...
