Nickelodeon Kart Racers is an arcade-style racing game released back in 2018 for consoles. It’s wacky, fast-paced, and has a bunch of different game modes to offer, so I’d recommend you try out the game for yourself, especially if you’re a fan of Nickelodeon cartoons seeing as plenty of familiar faces make an appearance.
A fantastic cast of characters
Twelve unique characters from four different Nickelodeon shows are playable in this game, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Tommy and Angelica from Rugrats, the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as Arnold from Hey Arnold! As you can tell, the characters come from all eras of Nickelodeon cartoons which is great for catering to a range of age groups.
Though younger players may only recognise the SpongeBob cast and Ninja Turtles, any adults who grew up watching Nickelodeon cartoons are going to love playing this game and racing as characters from their early childhood.
Courses from the cartoon world
Each course in Nickelodeon Kart Racers is based on a location from one of the four Nickelodeon shows, which is sure to be both exciting and nostalgic for many players. There are a total of 16 courses split evenly between the shows and though they’re all admittedly quite basic in design, there’s some variety there to keep things entertaining. Most of the courses include slime sections, too, where you can easily lose control from the ground being so slippery, adding an extra layer of challenge to the courses. Courses covered entirely in slime also have special elimination game modes you can play on them, so be on the lookout for these!
Power-ups and kart customisations
As with any arcade racing game, power-ups make an appearance during races that can be used to either hinder an opponent’s progress or boost your own performance. In addition to these power-ups, you’ve also got coins dotted about every course that you can collect and use to purchase custom kart parts in the shop between races. Almost every part of your kart can be customised, and you can even give it a unique paint job, so be sure to grab every coin you see so you can make your perfect kart.
Though it’s no Mario Kart 64 game, there’s still a lot of fun to be had with Nickelodeon Kart Racers if you can look past the relatively poor visuals and small roster size. Young players will likely enjoy the arcade-style gameplay a lot more than older players but if you’re someone that grew up with Nickelodeon cartoons, I’d definitely recommend you download Nickelodeon Kart Racers and try it out regardless, if only for the nostalgic elements.
Pros:
- Many familiar faces and environments make an appearance in the game
- A variety of game modes available to keep things interesting
- Both singleplayer and multiplayer options
Cons:
- The playable character roster is very small with only 12 different ones to choose from
- Graphics are quite basic for a game that was released in 2018
- Poor audio design and lack of voice acting
