Different roller skating teams compete in a worldwide race to different locations searching for clues that will lead them to the million-dollar prize.
Besides the teams interfering with each other, there were also outside forces and subplots that would step in to hinder the racing teams' progress.
Bailey's Comets[edit]
The team most favored to win the million-dollar prize were a group of teenagers called Bailey's Comets. This team consisted of:
Barnaby Bailey (voiced by
Carl Esser) - The handsome, youthful leader of the team. He is the one who called the most shots and having (reluctantly) to take the most risks.
Candy (voiced by
Karen Smith) - A pretty blonde-haired girl. She is presumably Barnaby's girlfriend as she is the one who entices him to take the risks when necessary.
Sarge (voiced by
Kathy Gori) - A red-haired girl with a
Brooklyn accent. She was the team motivator (Hup-two! Hup-two!)
Wheelie (voiced by Jim Begg) - The team mechanic who comes up with strange skate-based inventions.
Bunny (voiced by
Sarah Kennedy) - A sweet-natured yet very ditzy girl.
Pudge (voiced by
Frank Welker) - Good-natured but prone to trouble, he was on the hefty side yet had almost no difficulty keeping up with the rest of the team. Was especially fond of bananas, which would prompt Wheelie to refer to him as "
Banana Brain" whenever he made a mistake.
Other
Teams[edit]
The Comets were constantly being hindered by the other skating teams which consist of:
The
Texas Black Hats - A group of outlaw cowboys that rode on roller skate-wearing horses.
The Jekyll-Hydes - A group of top hat-wearing
English doctors that would turn into hideous ghouls at the most inopportune times that are led by
Henry (voiced by
Don Messick).
The
Ramblin' Rivets -
A team consisting of a professor (voiced by
Daws Butler) and his robots named Boltsbucket, Scrappy, and Fenderbender.
The robots each contained all sorts of mechanical contraptions to help their team in advancing in the races.
The
Duster Busters - A motorcycle gang. They skated in half-sitting positions as if they were mounted on motorcycles.
The Roller Coasters - A circus-based team consisting of a ringmaster (voiced by Don Messick),
Hercules the
Strongman,
Big Bertha the Fat
Lady, a lion, a clown that rides on the lion, and an
Indian Rubber Man.
The Stone Rollers - A team consisting of three cavemen and their dinosaur.
The
Cosmic Rays - A team consisting of four aliens inside a skating flying saucer.
The Gargantuan Giants - Literally, a giant football team that is so huge you'd only see their skates onscreen. They were led by a normal-sized coach (voiced by Don Messick).
The
Rockin' Rollers - A rock band.
The Roller
Bears - A team of five roller-skating bears.
The Broomer
Girls - A team of witches on roller skate-equipped brooms that are led by Auntie Hag. They also had a snickering cat on their team.
The Mystery Mob - A team of skaters that are constantly immersed in a huge cloud of dust with flailing arms and legs. No one knows what they look like.
The
Yo Ho-Ho's - A team of pirates led by a
William Bligh-type pirate captain (voiced by Daws Butler). They use a skate-equipped raft. One pirate rows while another pirate serves as the mast, holding a sail.
The
Hairy Mountain Red
Eyes - A team of hillbillies.
Commentators[edit]
There were also two commentators named
Gabby (voiced by Frank Welker impersonating
Howard Cosell) and Dooter Roo (voiced by Daws Butler) keeping constant track of the proceedings from a helicopter. Very rarely, however, did they ever get involved in the actual race goings-on.
