Trivia
The original Japanese title "Mach GoGoGo", is a rather elaborate pun:- it is the name of the hero Go Mifune (as Speed Racer was known in Japan)
- it contains the car's name "Mach-go", or Mach 5 ("Go" is Japanese for the number five)
- it contains the English word "go", a staple of racing (multilingual puns were becoming vogue back then)
- and "Go-Go-Go" is the Japanese sound effect for the rumbling of tyres on a racetrack.
Goofs
In several episodes, Speed is wearing a helmet in the long shots when he driving the Mach 5,but not in the close-ups. See more »Quotes

When I was a kid, Speed Racer was the show I would never miss when I came home from school. Sure it was violent, but the action was what made this show what it was. Also, the variety of villians gave the show some color that was lacking from the American cartoons that came out at the same time. The action and the characters of Speed, Trixie, Sparky, Sprytle and Chim Chim that made this show a classic.
