Modder Adds Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz To Crazy Taxi

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stars in his own version of Sega's Crazy Taxi, thanks to a new fan-created mod

Via MPR News, La Barbera explained that he was inspired by former President Bill Clinton's appearance in NBA Jam. La Barbera added voice clips from both Walz and Harris to the game, and he also decided to add background elements from Walz's home state, Minnesota.

"I chose a more Minnesota-casual flannel outfit for Tim because it was easier to create than a suit," said La Barbera. "That snowballed into trying to make the world into a wintry Minnesota environment instead of California. I replaced palm trees with snow-covered pines, replaced the stadium with Target Field, and the mall with the Mall of America."

La Barbera has posted his Tim Walz mod online, but it's only playable through an emulated version of Crazy Taxi.
