Fuckin' rad. All racing games should let you build your own car.
Hell, forget about the racing part.

judged solely as a kart racer it's a 1, judged as a game where you can build cars with legos it's a 5, so I think this is fair
This was probably my single favorite racing game as a kid. I was super into Legos already, and the notion of being able to freely build your own kart from Lego blocks blew my mind (this was a few years before Kingdom Hearts Gummi Ships after all). I also loved the rival racers, and being able to build their karts for yourself after defeating them. The different tracks built around the major Lego themes at the time were awesome too. The power-ups were fun, and I prided myself on learning every single shortcut. That actually paid off, as I won a (very) small tournament at LegoLand playing this game as a kid, and got a copy of the LegoLand PC game as a prize!
Decided to go back to this game after a long time of not playing it. Definitely more of a "nostalgia" game rather than a good game. Same strategy regardless of course and very little content, which I only now realize because 6 year old me couldn't get past the first circuit.
Controls are fun though once you get used to it. The grapple hook item and the rocket boosts are fun to use, but generally the warps are the way to go, which is unfortunate. Music's a banger.

Another kart racer that I nearly forgot existed. It has some cool ideas, but again just doesn't match the big names on the system.
