Nickelodeon’s most beloved characters come together to race their karts.
The time has come to give the Nickelodeon Kart Racers franchise a third spin, because Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway has arrived on Xbox consoles. Although previous games had a few highlights, they were generally games that went down without much glory. Well, this delivery seems to have taken all that into account and offers us a delivery that follow the formula of more and better.
Con 40 characters to unlock and control (including some like Spongebob, Ninja Turtles or Garfield), 36 clues to race and a staggering amount of customization for karts, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway it’s a game full of content. However, the amount of content doesn’t always equal the amount of fun to be had and this is a good example.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway continues where the first two games began, featuring fun racing gameplay, tons of familiar characters, fun racing bonuses, and colorful tracks. It also incorporates many fun new features that previous versions did not have. For those unfamiliar with the game, it looks a lot like Crash Team Racingwhere you accelerate with one button and jump and drift with another.
Playing Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is usually a lot of fun, especially when finding track shortcuts and game-changing tricks. For example, you can do laps on water waves touching the drift button and even master small rhythmic segments where you slide down a waterslide and have to time your jumps to avoid hitting obstacles. Additionally, the boss and crew system returnsin which you can choose a few characters to give you passive boosts and active special abilities, which, together with the impressive selection of power-ups and items, makes the gameplay even more complete and satisfying.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway has a super fun feature what is madness modein which we are charged with a challenge such as Avoid the giant gnomes, knock down 10 pins before your opponents and collect coins go faster as our screen becomes more and more blurry. You can also complete success-type side quests before your competitors to get upgraded items. Each character has a customizable kart and bike, and you can give them a radical look or optimize their stats to suit your playstyle. There’s plenty of unlockable content, so we’ll have endless hours of fun.
As for the fashions, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway includes a bunch of championship cupsa standard list of complicated challenges and an battle arena collection. However, arenas are much slower than races and not as fun. Fortunately, you can enjoy races and events with friends locally or via online multiplayer, which is great fun.
On another side, the tours themselves are full of items to make every race exciting and there are 36 to master. Another negative aspect is that the AI was a bit frustrating at times due to its unpredictability. In one run, they take it easy, and in the next, they pound you with things.
Not only do they look great, but hearing the characters crack their jokes adds a really good sense of fun to the races. Unfortunately, the voices of our beloved characters are in English and moreover, the actors look nothing like their real-world counterparts. The title is completely subtitled in Spanish.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is even the best game in the series. Whether you’re one of those born in the 90s like me or still enjoy Nickelodeon characters today, you’re sure to have a great time racing with this new go-kart title coming to Xbox consoles.
