An Eerie Indiana Mario Kart clone?

[froodle]

We’ve seen our fair share of Kart clones, pulling on some of the barmiest of franchises (Hello Kitty? Garfield?), but Nickelodeon Kart Racers was one of the more acceptable ones, and it actually had enough recognisable characters to warrant the roster. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix drifts onto Xbox One, Switch and PS4 today. A PC launch is due later this year.

Bamtang Games clearly believe that Nickelodeon has a deep enough reservoir of characters to make a second game, as they have made the call to include 30 in total, one of the heftiest role calls that we’ve seen. You know what? They’re right – with Spongebob, Turtles, Rugrats, Avatar and more, they’ve got a deep cast and some of animation’s greatest characters.

I’ll show my age by wishing – just slightly – that Pete and Pete, Eerie Indiana, Clarissa Explains it All and Aaaargh! Real Monsters made it, but there’s Ren & Stimpy and Rocko, so I should probably take my ‘90s whining elsewhere.
