'''Pokémon Team Turbo''' is a Pokémon spinoff game designed for PCs, produced by [http://www.valusoft.com/store/valusoft/DisplayHomePage ValuSoft].  It features six racing courses and five minigames that can be played to earn powerups for races. The game is not very well made, as there is no depth or replay value at all. Additionally, there is only one music file, and some files can easily be changed such as the music and credits.  
From the main menu, the player can choose to play one of six races (without powerups from mini-games), any of the five mini-games, or play an "Adventure Mode" in which the player plays the races in order, with mini-games in between to earn the player extra power-ups.


Also, in every possible instance {{p|Rayquaza}} is misspelled as "Rayquayza", either indicating a rush to make and release the game or a lack of knowledge of the franchise. This causes several problems. For instance, when the player needs to collect letters for boosts in races, there are two Ys which may be confusing, and it has the spelling the crossword as well.
