Across the tracks you’ll have pick-ups dotted around that vary from: Support, Offensive and Defensive. Like most Kart Racers, you have the acceleration, brake and the now formulaic jumping drift. That’s not to knock the base gameplay for imitating the best to do the Kart Racer genre, but it does mean there’s nothing new here. Like A Limo Slimer? No, Like, For Moviesĭriving is solid, albeit a little derivative. It proves there was a lot of thought put into picking them.
Even the designs of the Ninja Turtles are based off the 80’s show, brought into the modern day. If it’s the memorable shows from the 90’s – like Ren and Stimpy, Real Monsters – or the modern classics – such as Legend of Korra, Spongebob – they’re almost all there. Some do come across as ‘one and done’ takes though, which hampers the light-hearted comic presentation.Ĥ0 playable characters is wild, a few are notably re-skins of the same but overall the roster is great. Highlights include the original actors for a good portion of the characters, but the ones voiced by someone else is incredibly noticeable and even a little lacklustre. However, wrangling a potential 40 actors (subject to actors doing multiple voices) is what I can only assume a big undertaking of the process outside of development. It surprisingly adds a lot more life to the moment-to-moment gameplay, making it a welcome addition to the game. Now before you pop that bottle of green champagne on the podium, a few things need unpacking. To address this from the top, as it’s been a vocalised issue for the past two games. However, volume of content doesn’t always equate to the amount of enjoyment to be had and this is a prime example.
With 40 characters to unlock and play as, 36 tracks to drift boost in, and a staggering amount of customisation for the karts – Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 is a game packed with content. Whilst I’m happy to report that this is the best of the three, the bar wasn’t high to begin with and it has only just surpassed its predecessors. While the previous games had a few highlights to enjoy, overall they were middling games. It’s time for the third lap of the franchise for Nickelodeon Kart Racers – this time re-built and re-imagined from the ground up. A large roster of cars, characters and tracks can't elevate Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway out of the middle of the pack.
