General Commentary and Game Overview
Here is another Mario Kart clone but this time, in 3D! It's also heavily inspired by Mario Kart 8.
 
Pros - Pretty 3D graphics
- Lots of items that works great
- A really complete interface
 
Cons - Driving overall is a bit hard
- Design of tracks are ALL inspired by other Mario Kart tracks
- Needs more sounds
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
The game plays fine and has a lot of Mario Kart items that you can use backward and forward!
You can also drift but it doesn't make a boost and is kind of awkward to use correctly.
The AI plays fine and can be really challenging because of the design of some tracks.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
It uses pretty 3D for the tracks and the racers! The menus uses Mario Kart 8 menus.
The layout of tracks re-uses old Mario Kart background and textures but with a brand new route!
 
Sound
6 / 10
Most of the music comes from Mario Kart 8. But it feels kind of silent because there is no sound effect if another racer is hit and there is no kart engine sound.
 
Replay
4 / 10
There is 50cc,100cc and 150cc with 4 cups of 4 tracks each. (Maybe Mirror to unlock, I dunno.)
If you like to complete the game, you can aim to get all gold trophies and get nice times in time trials!
Or you can always come back for a VS RACE with as much customisation as you can in MK8!
But you can't play in multiplayer and it harms the Replayability... As well as how the races can be slow.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
This is a really good Mario Kart game. Maybe not the best but a pretty good one! You can give it a shot if you wanna play some Mario Kart fangames because this game is really well-made seriously! But too bad some flaws harm the game...
