It’s not just about speed and skills, power ups are an integral part of this race. While racing, power ups may pop up on your screen, used to sabotage your friends, boost your speeds, or protect yourself from your friend’s attacks. Strategise your power ups to make the most out of them!
I thought that racing at 30km/h max speeds sounded super slow. But really, when your car is small, doorless, and is so close to the ground, 30km/h is pretty fast! Everyone starts at this max speed, called Novice level, and people without a car or motorcycle licence are allowed to drive! However, if you have a licence, you have a chance to increase your max speed. You will need to reach a novice lap of 34.5 seconds and below for you to move up to the Advanced level! Your max speed will be increased to 50km/h, a similar to the speed for an actual car on the road, but in this tiny kart! An exhilarating experience!
There are three types of karts to pick from, Junior Karts, Senior Karts, and Dual Karts.
Junior Karts are designed for children. They are easier to manage karts with lighter steering and lighter acceleration. The kart is limited to Novice level, with a max speed of 30km/h.
Senior Karts are for those who are more experienced and looking for an authentic race experience. With stronger acceleration, harder handling, but the best thrill, this is the kart you’d want to drive! These karts can be set at Novice level or Advanced level, meaning that their max speed can go up to 50km/h!
For these two karts, no licence is needed but you will need to be at least 9 years old, 130cm for junior karts, and 140cm for senior karts.
Dual Karts are 2 seaters, for families with little ones! One driver and one passenger. The driver will need a car or motorcycle licence and be at least 140cm tall while the passenger just needs to be 90cm tall of any age.
