It was originally released in August 1998. It involves a set of ball characters with faces and unique personalities that race around a series of vertical obstacle courses in order to win medals. The characters use grappling hooks to climb to other platforms and attack other players. The game is named after Iggy, who is the main character. Iggy represents the developer's mascot, an iguana.
Upon its release, the game received mixed reviews from critics. In 2024, the game was re-released through the Nintendo Classics service.
