16-bit kart racing RPG

KART ONLINE

Sixteen courses. Sixty-four racers. One legend.

About this game

A 16-bit Mode 7 kart racer that is secretly an RPG: sixteen racers and your own persona level up, unlock signature weapons that visibly grow on the kart, and master special moves across sixteen courses, eight battle arenas and a co-op raid. Race 1–4 players on one screen, or online in rooms of up to 64 racers you can join and leave any time.

How to play

Goal: Win races and battles to level up your racer: every class has a signature weapon and a special move, and every upgrade shows on your kart.

  • Racing

    • Hold DRIFT through corners and let go for a mini-turbo: blue, orange, then purple.
    • Crates refill weapon energy and hand out an item.
    • Coins raise your top speed. Hits cost coins and HP; at zero HP you're wrecked.
  • Your racer

    • MY RACER: pick a species, hat, colours, kart body, wheels and a class.
    • Every race earns XP and gold: spend stat points and buy engine, tires, armor and weapon tiers in the GARAGE.
    • Rank, badges and levels follow you online.
  • Grand Prix

    • Four cups of four courses at 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.
    • Each trophy unlocks the next cup; golds unlock MIRROR and the LEGEND CUP.
    • Up to four players on one screen.
  • Battle

    • ORB BRAWL: three orbs each, every hit pops one.
    • COIN RUSH, ZONE WARS and the co-op RAID against waves and bosses.
    • Eight arenas; join and leave any time.
  • Online

    • Quick races of 12, MEGA RACE of 64, and team races from 1v1 to 32v32.
    • Rooms never wait: bots fill empty karts and you take one over when you join.
    • Challenge players from the PLAYERS list or watch live rooms.
