In the last 5 years, the Nickelodeon Kart Racers series has gone from absolutely slap dash and shameful with the first, to becoming a surprisingly experience with the second. Now with the 3rd entry, we not only have the most DEFINITIVE Nickelodeon racing game, but also a brand new racing series in general that has shown that it can continue to be iterative and improve with each new release. Not only does this game maintain most of the Character roster from NKR 2 (R.I.P Heffer, Shredder, Tommy, and Angelica.) But also just about DOUBLES the size of the roster with new characters that are for the most part great choices. Jimmy, Cindy, Garfield, and Jenny are great additions to name a few. The Pit Crew system from the 2nd game is also back with more members and chiefs, creating a more fun mix and match system of different boosts and power-ups. Water sections from the original NKR return here as well and are implemented SIGNIFICANTLY better as well and are a plus for in my opinion as they're not only used well in new courses, but are implemented into multiple returning courses, making them feel more fresh this time around. The new feature this game presents are the Slime Slides, which are a risk/reward type of deal. Running over one of these sections SIGNIFICANTLY boosts your speed, but also requires you to time your jumps properly in order to maintain that speed. These are also implemented into older courses which makes it feel like a much bigger and different map at times. My only big problem comes from the online. It works well enough when you can find a race, but multiple character unlocks are tied to the online multiplayer and it can be really difficult to find games sometimes with how empty the lobbies usually are. Overall, this is a definite recommendation to anyone wanting to cut their teeth on a new Kart Racer while they wait for Nintendo to eventually stop reselling Mario Kart 8.
