Kart N Crazy Reviewed

Kart N Crazy is published by GAO which is a European publisher, but thankfully people from all over the world can create accounts and play this cartoony racing game. Like Come On Baby, Kart N Crazy is obviously influenced by the Mario Kart series by Nintendo. Like Mario Kart, players ride karts and must lob items at each other to reach the finish line. Many of the items in Kart N Crazy are also very similar to those in Mario Kart, like the green turtle shell.

New players are given four character choices but different avatars can later be purchased from the shop. After character creation, players can join one of three channels, since the first channel seems to have the highest population its best to stick with that one. There are four short optional tutorial stages which will teach the game’s basic controls. The first lesson covers simple movement, the second introduces items, the third teaches players how to drift and the final lesson teaches a more complicated move called the mini-boost. Mastering the mini boost is very important in Kart N Crazy. This technique is also borrowed from Mario Kart, while drifting blue flames will come out of the player’s kart and when these flames turn red, players must hit the forward arrow key to preform a small boost.

There are two game modes in Kart N Crazy; Item and Speed. The only difference between them is that one allows items while the other does not. Each mode can be played in either ’single’ or ‘team’ variants. Singles games are restricted to 2-8 players while team games can have 2-16 players. There are nine different course types but each course type has several different tracks, which brings the total number of playable tracks to over 20. Each map has vibrant colors and a different theme. Like many other racers, players can get a boost at the start by hitting forward when the timer hits ‘1′. Kart N Crazy also has wind funnel feature like the one in Mario Kart DS. By standing behind another player gives you a speed boost which helps losing players catch up. Kart N Crazy has many cool items to spice up the races. Many of these items are obviously inspired by Mario Kart items. For example, one item turns players in a rabbit that automatically moves the player forward rapidly.

Kart N Crazy is the most enjoyable cartoon racer currently available but it is not without its flaws. When starting the game, players must hit enter since there is no “start” button. Another oddity involves obstacle collision. At time, half my kart was stuck inside a wall yet I continued to move forward. Players also seem to have limited control over their karts, its difficult to explain but suffice it to say the controls are simple but it takes several rounds to get used to them. Kart N Crazy suffers from the same lack of community many free games do. Kart N Crazy is still a new game and that partially explains the limited amount of vehicles (8) and characters (also but more will likely be added as time goes by. Even with its flaws, Kart N Crazy is a fun game and any fan of casual/party racing games like Mario Kart is sure to enjoy it.
