Whiplash is a platforming video game for PlayStation 2 featuring two characters, Redmond the rabbit and Spanx the weasel, who are chained together. Players primarily control Spanx, utilizing Redmond as a versatile tool or weapon. Spanx possesses standard platforming skills, while Redmond is indestructible, enabling players to use him for various tasks, such as disabling security systems or interacting with environments.
Although Redmond (the rabbit) and Spanx (the weasel) are two animals chained together, the gameplay is much like any other platformer. The player controls only Spanx, using Redmond as a weapon or tool as the situation requires. Spanx has most standard platforming abilities, while Redmond is completely indestructible as a result of tests conducted upon him and so can be hurled into security guards, jammed into machinery, and used as a grappling hook, among other uses. Redmond can be inserted into special outlets to be set on fire, frozen, or become radioactive.
