In addition, the Boxville-style renditions are top heavy and is prone to rolling if not driven carefully. The melody is also the same for the renditions in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories.ĭue to its size, the Mr Whoopee is largely slow and suffers in steering and braking. The melody in GTA III and GTA Vice City is the same as that used by the Ice-Cream Van in Grand Theft Auto 2, but in GTA San Andreas, it is different.
One of the vehicle's special attributes is a musical jingle that can be toggled on or off with the horn button. The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions are exceptions, with only a single ice cream swirl and a chocolate bar. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it consists of two cherry-topped ice cream swirls resembling a large pair of breasts, while the rooftop decoration in GTA San Andreas, which encompasses an ice cream swirl with an ice cream bar jutting out, resembles the male genitalia. In most of its appearances, the decorations on top of the van serve as sexual references. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Mr Whoopee has a unique, modern design (the headlights and grille resemble those of a 1986 Ford Transit) however, in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a Boxville step van, similar in design but considerably smaller. The Mr Whoopee is evidently designed as a vehicle based on a van or box truck.
