    Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is a perfectly competent kart racer, which is elevated by an insane number of levels, characters, and configuration options. Far better than I expected, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 blasts players in the face with a slime-hose of options and game modes, offering hours of entertainment to kids and parents alike. Bottom line is, my kids like it, I like it, and we aren't going to stop playing it any time soon. I can't think of a better recommendation for a title of this nature.

    I'm happy to say that Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is the best game in the series so far. Whether you're a nostalgic '90s kid or a modern-day scamp, you're bound to have a tubular time racing with all of these familiar chums.

    While a lot of Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway’s best and most improved aspects may be pulled from other racers, the quality jump between this one and its predecessor cannot be overstated. Slime Speedway is a confident, enjoyable and joyful party experience. The devs have finally hit the mark, delivering a great entry into the pantheon of mid-budget licensed games. Fans who are nostalgic for old cartoons and anyone with younger kids will definitely have a great time here.

    As long as you don’t expect too much – or, I guess, as long as you just want more of what was in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 – then Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 does just enough to be worth playing.

    ***sorry this is a review for the switch version of nickelodeon slime racer 3, not the PS5 version and now I can't take it down.***First off I***sorry this is a review for the switch version of nickelodeon slime racer 3, not the PS5 version and now I can't take it down.***First off I am very very many years older than the target demographic for a nickelodeon cartoon. But I am familiar with the teenage mutant ninja turtles and maybe a couple other nickelodeon characters, like sponge Bob. However I did buy their kart racer 1 and 2 so I was going to give 3 a shot, at the right price at some point, and that's not the 49$ and 59$ they were originally asking. But on sell, sure I will bite. I was intrigued by looking at the YouTube gameplay and realized it reminded me more of sonic and Sega All-stars racing transformed minus sonic than Mario kart. And since I've been wanting sonic transformed on switch since I've owned a switch and not the horrible sonic racing game Sega actually gave, I was even more intrigued. Well kart racer 3 went on sale and I bought it, and yep it's a cross between sonic transformed and Mario kart. The cars don't transform into aircrafts, but they do transform into boats and of course it's missing sonic. But other than that I think it's a very good kart racing game. It has 3 speeds and I can see how kids will get a kick out of this, and adults too. The voice overs are often so I turned down the voice volume but the graphics are nice and I don't know if it had any frame rate issues but they have ironed most of them out as I have noticed no problems. It's typical kart racing and I like that the gas and slide are mapped like most racing game buttons. To the R and L triggers. Not like Mario kart I like that they gave me actual humans characters to race as at the very start of the game and not just SpongeBob. I like everything this game does and I have and will be playing it a lot. Like I said, I'm older than their target audience and Im not familiar with all the nickelodeon characters but I must say, if you can get this game on sale or you like kart racing or you were a fan of sonic transformed this is the next best thing… Full Review »

    One of the worst games I have ever played in my entire life. For real... I can't.
