    Nickelodeon Kart Racers has no online function, and its unlockable Grand Prix cups are just different combinations of tracks from the base cups. There is a decent progression and cart customization system here, but bland visuals and uninspired gameplay mean you can probably sit this race out.

    In the end, Nickelodeon Kart Racers is just kind of passable (and compared to others, I'm being generous with it). [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 75]

So far we only have 2The game looks and plays very well, however for a crossover game like this, characters are the most important thing. So far we only have 2 characters representing 4 franchises. For a crossover game in 2018, that's pathetic. Compare that to Nicktoons Nitro which had only 6 characters but each character represented a different franchise.
    Now I am grateful that they included Rugrats characters alongside SpongeBob and don't get me wrong I think the Turtles are a welcome addition to Nicktoons but how could they not include classics like Jimmy Neutron or the rest of the Nicktoons Unite team? Especially considering they were all represented extremely well in Nicktoons Nitro.
    I would have given this game a much smaller rating if not for the fact there's still potential to add characters through updates, like what Street Fighter 5 did. However if that's not the case, then this may be the most disappointing Nicktoons game ever.

    I simply don't like it. Played it once. Never played it again. Get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe instead.

    The game may lack some polish, but the solid gameplay is there. If you happen to like any of the shows represented, it's plenty of fun for the price.
