About the Game

Dreamworks Super Star Kartz is a racing game similar to Mario Kart featuring characters from Dreamworks' animated film properties, such as Shrek , How to Train Your Dragon , Madagascar , and Monsters Vs Aliens . At its core, the gameplay is fairly typical of kart racers, especially the aforementioned Mario Kart franchise.

Gameplay & Core Systems

There are instant boosts from the starting line, numerous weapons, jumps, and of course, cartoon characters on small go-karts. Each character has a specific special move, known as a Star Move, that is activated once players picks up five stars from around the track. The weapons and items include banana peels, protection (as in a shield) potions, viking shields (which are defensive and can be thrown as projectiles), exploding pumpkins, rockets, hornet's nests, quantonium, and frog balloons. Players can perform stunts when airborne, draft by driving behind opponent karts, and the classic kart-racer standard of drifting around turns. Challenge Mode features specific challenges such as a race with only Star Moves, or straight racing with no weapons or items.
