Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl The previous four franchises are still covered, but joining in now are characters from the likes of Rocco’s Modern Life, Invader Zim, Avatar, CatDog, The Loud House, Danny Phantom and Ren & Stimpy. Even the deeply irritating JoJo Siwa is in there for the young bucks, which does throw up some questions: if live-action people count, we’d have loved to have seen representation from such classic gems as Kenan & Kel, Pete & Pete or Clarissa Explains It All, but maybe we’re getting a bit too ahead of ourselves. The point is, things are far more varied this time. As well as the main roster, there are also seventy supporting characters who can be unlocked. Each of these characters comes with their own unique abilities: some of them are permanent perks (Rocco’s dog Spunky lets you drive over rough terrain without losing speed, for example), whereas others require you to fill your slime meter by collecting slime while you race, then triggering their ability with a button (take Plankton from SpongeBob, who can detonate an explosion that slows down nearby karts). Hearts of Iron IV

You can choose three assist characters before you race – two with permanent abilities, and one with a slime meter ability – and while the skills applied to each of them are fairly arbitrary and don’t make sense in the context of the characters themselves, it does still put a face to what is essentially just a large list of unlockable perks, and does make it easier to remember what each perk does when you’re trying to come up with a trio that best suits your racing style. As an example, we personally prefer to get to the front of the pack as quickly as possible then try to increase that lead, rather than taking part in combat by firing missiles or using shields. Our own chosen trio, then, is Eugene from Hey Arnold (who gives you a speed boost every time you take a hit so you can quickly recover), Really Really Big Man from Rocko’s Modern Life (who automatically triggers a boost when the slime meter fills up) and April O’Neil from TMNT (who lets you then manually trigger another boost once the meter is full). Look, we know we aren’t talking Fire Emblem here, but the fact there’s any strategy at all makes it more engaging than most karting games.

GAMEPLAY – NORMAL EARTH LARVA

The Grand Prix mode consists of seven cups and there are three speed settings (which essentially act like your 50cc, 100cc and 150cc from Mario Kart). Grand Prix mode consists of seven cups, and you’re awarded 1-to-3 stars depending on how well you do: three stars are for winning all four racers, naturally. While things are relatively simple in the two slower speeds, the top speed option ramps up the AI level quite a bit and as such it’s going to take you a while to three-star all seven cups (thankfully you only have to win them to unlock their respective characters). Added to this is a Challenge mode where you take on 42 separate one-off missions – target shooting, time trials, battle racers and the like – and unlock six more characters along the way (like Shredder and Reptar). These will only take a night or two to get through, but it at least mixes things up a little: that said, we’d have liked a high score or best time feature so you could replay challenges and try to beat your previous attempt. As it stands, once you’ve beaten a challenge, there’s no real incentive to do it again. Halo Wars: Definitive Edition

This isn’t the only issue the game suffers from. Performance is a little bit better than the disaster that was the last game, but it’s still not perfect. Although for the most part you’ll be racing a fairly stable 30 frames-per-second, whenever there are a lot of karts on the screen (most notably at the start of races) things can get quite choppy. Thankfully, split-screen multiplayer doesn’t appear to make things even worse, though we were only able to test it with two players due to that pesky virus you may have heard about. As such, we’re not sure whether bumping it up to three or four players can result in further performance issues. It’s also a real shame that none of the characters have voice acting. They do have their own bespoke animations that give them some degree of personality, particularly when you win a cup: for example, Stimpy does his Happy Happy Joy Joy dance. The lack of voice acting is a real loss, though, especially during races where you may as well all just be controlling the same characters with a different skin applied. We’d have loved to have had Ren yelling and calling his opponents a bunch of “eediots” while SpongeBob gleefully sings his way through a race. Even soundalikes would have done the job if legacy voice actors were the issue.

It’s not perfect, then, but despite its issues, we had an infinitely better time playing through this game than we did sighing our way through its underwhelming predecessor. While it clearly still won’t make Mario sweaty under his cap or have Sonic quivering in his red sneakers, there’s a strong argument that Nickelodeon Kart Racer 2 now has the bronze medal when it comes to karting games on the Switch. In most cases, when a game is released and garners poor reviews, developers move on. Especially in the case of licensed titles, all parties involved are usually quick to cut their losses and start their next unrelated project. When Nickelodeon Kart Racers was released in 2018, that seemed to be the situation. With a small roster, little fan service, and rough visuals, it seemed like a one-off entry that wouldn’t see a future. But 2020 is a new year, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix feels like a direct response to the criticism that the first title received. Bamtang Games has addressed almost all of the issues players and press had with their initial offering and overclocked the sequel with plenty of features and content. I thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with so many questions. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Featuring references from decades of Nickelodeon cartoons, there is stuff here for players of all ages. I found as much to like as my six-year-old did. But there is enough missing that if we never get a third entry, I will settle for an oral history of how the development of this game came about. Stick around, I’ll tell you why. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for your regional pricing. In many ways, NKR2 is a ’90s-inspired Mario Kart clone. But the problem with finding fault in that is that Mario Kart is really good, so copying the mechanics doesn’t necessarily make a bad game. The drifting is the same, the racing is the same, the item use is the same. There’s even the “rubber band” effect of item strength depending on your race position. The case could be made that this is simply Mario Kart Wii with a Spongebob paint job.

STORY

Here’s the problem with that argument: it’s fun as hell. There was some obvious care put into the design of the characters, the karts, and the tracks. As much as everything is oozing green slime, it’s oozing references and easter eggs to the golden age of Nickelodeon cartoons. Things might not be as revolutionary as zero-gravity track design, and there isn’t much difference between vehicles beyond aesthetics, but their take on the standard kart racing items feels refreshing and doesn’t feel forced. Instead of settling for twelve racers, the folks at Bamtang Games have upped the character count to 30, including more racers and TV show representation than the first title. Now players can choose from more characters from Spongebob Squarepants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hey Arnold!, and Rugrats, as well as characters from CatDog, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, The Loud House, Danny Phantom, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rocko’s Modern Life, and Invader Zim. God of War

Astoundingly, there is a playable character that is not from a specific Nickelodeon cartoon. Jojo Siwa, the actress with the large bows, can be chosen as a racer, with tracks and pit crew characters based on her brand. This may seem like a completely random addition to the roster, but since Siwa did sign on with Nickelodeon in 2017 and has made numerous appearances on different shows and movies, she fits the brand. A major entry is the inclusion of the aforementioned pit crew characters. These are non-playable characters from the different represented properties that appear in the form of equipable bonuses that give you different advantages during your races. I likened this mechanic to the Spirits found in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; these are bonus representations of characters we love, and it’s another way for us to have control over the race. Different pit crew combinations can offer different things.

A favorite of mine is using April from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as my “pit captain”, which allows me to get a substantial boost and turn temporarily invincible after filling my slime meter. Paired with Grandpa Phil from Hey Arnold!, who gives me a bonus Yahoo Soda after every item box, garnering another boost. This allows me to get ahead of the pack quickly and continuously maintain my lead. The pit crew mechanic was a welcome addition to the game, and I enjoyed seeing what minor characters might appear as I progressed and unlocked more and more. This time around, there’s also online multiplayer, meaning you can take all your friends from elementary school and finally prove to them that Heffer would absolutely beat Angelica if it came down to it. Like any good nostalgia trip, everything is better with friends, and it’s the best when you can settling hypothetical rivalries. The art style of NKR2 really charmed me. The characters (with the exception of Jojo Siwa, who slightly succumbs to the uncanny valley) have an almost claymation appearance. It’s a style that fits in with each property’s unique design and is actually reminiscent of The Jimmy and Timmy Power Hour, which brought the 2D characters of The Fairly OddParents to the 3D world of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Ironically, neither of these properties are represented in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix.
