The monumental success of the Mario Kart series formula has resulted in a tidal wave of copycats. Previously we've talked about kart racers using Spongebob, Disney, even Family Guy! And today we're back, taking a look at even more Mario Kart clones from the likes of Final Fantasy, Disney (again!), and Shrek.

The sonic racing games is its own little series. Even then they have some differences that separate them from Mario kart. Transformed had vehicles you could fly in the air (not glide) and let you motorboat above water instead of driving underwater. Sounds like semantics but these designs could drastically change up the map as the laps progressed. Destroying sections of the track in order to use the different modes. The boat felt different from an underwater kart as well, having you drive while tackling the waves from the water and currents that could pull you in. In team sonic racing there is a you guessed it team mechanic that lets you do some techniques to quickly progress through the track. There are also character types that impact how you go through the track. This game is alright but can be a great time with friends. Item wise these games work exactly like Mario kart, I’m not going to sugar coat it. There are some exceptions but it’s a Mario kart item with a twist.

@angel_of_rust 7 күн бұрын

i honestly don't know a single kart racer that signals incoming item attacks, maybe except double dash. having a red shell chase you for several seconds in a long continuous drift in a spiral is hilarious though

I know bomberman fantasy race isn't exactly the kind of game that's considered a "kart" game, especially since bomberman does have kart games, it's more in line with Sonic R where you control a footrunning character able to perform jumps, wall kicks and such. But so many racing games nowadays completely have abandoned giving more complex controls other than ways to drift and boost. funny that Sonic fangames like Sonic Robo Blast are about the only ones in recent memory.

@crimsonstormsurge 2 ай бұрын

@Assh8812 at least the monetisation is optional and most characters can be unlocked via story mode or missions or events now and characters that you could only get in battle passes are Available at a later date and they drastically streamlined how upgrading characters works. But yeah I'm not going to say it doesn't have any cause it certainly does and honestly it probably shouldn't have that much and if you want everything quickly then yeah you gotta pay but at least more stuff can be unlocked for free easier than it could before

@TherealHK-47 2 ай бұрын

Speedstorm is a shit show. I discovered it in April and the only way to be competitive is to rank up your racers which can only be done by playing ranked multiplayer, but they match you with players based on Multiplayer Rank, not actual racer rank. So you could be playing with a level 15 racer and be matched up with a level 35-40 racer who will be halfway across the map ahead of you within seconds of the race starting and you’ll never catch them and are effectively only racing for 5th-8th place. Oh and if you don’t get 4th place or higher, you actually get level up points taken away. Does this ranking mismatch happen alot? Only every single time you play.

@alejandronieto4212 2 ай бұрын

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the token simplification is much welcomed. On the other, the season pass is a lot harder to work around without spending cash on it (I got in on Frozen season and got both that one and Little Mermaid with tokens), and they keep locking chars behind paywalls or having them constantly show up without giving ways to ease their acquirement. I still play it and have good times, but Im losing trust on it, Ill see how it keeps going to see how it goes tho.
