Kart Racer
About the Game
KART racer is a track racing game primarily for 1 player. There are three kart classes: 60cc, 125cc and 250cc Super, and 15 different tracks to drive.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A new player starts with the lowest class of cart on a single track; you unlock more tracks and cart classes by climbing a score table based on your performance. The 'Stunt Challenge' arena is a lap-time limited icy arena where you get points for slides and jumps. The goal is to achieve as many laps as possible before the timer runs out. A two-player split-screen mode with special challenges is also mentioned on the covers for for the Wii and PS2 platforms, it seems to have been omitted in the PC version. Collisions cause visual damage to the kart, as body parts can fly off the players kart (but not the AI kart's), but this causes no control/handling problems.

Modes & Ways to Play
The game has four modes: Race, Knockout, Challenge and Stunt Arena. (The last two modes are locked initially). In 'Race' mode you compete against 15 AI opponents, in 5, 10 or 15 laps of a track. In 'Knockout' mode you compete against 8 AI opponents, and each lap the last cart is taken off the race; so keep at least one behind you to stay in the race. The 'Challenge' mode is a competition of consecutive races, where you need to win three tracks in a row to unlock another off-road dirt track and a stunt challenge arena.
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen.
