But what an embarrassment of riches Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway has turned out to be. Previously something of an also-ran in the race to be the best karting experience, it can proudly take its place at the top of the podium on the Xbox – second only to Mario Kart on all platforms. No other karting game can match its depth, and the actual racing is breakneck and fully-featured too. It doesn’t matter if Spongebob Squarepants means nothing to you: there’s enough charm and generosity to make this a winner regardless.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway es hasta el mejor juego de la serie. Tanto si eres uno de esos como yo nacidos en los 90 como si disfrutas aún a día de hoy de los personajes de Nickelodeon, seguro que te lo pasas pipa corriendo con este nuevo título de karts que llega a consolas Xbox.

Despite the clear inspiration it has taken from Mario Kart and other kart-racing games, Nickelodeon: Slime Speedway is an energetic burst of kart-racing action you will find suitably engrossing. It’s not pushing any boundaries, nor does it always feel compelling to drive – but it will likely steal your evenings with the little ones, and there’s a cast of characters here that will delight those little ones who grew up in the 90s. All told this is a solid effort that will go down well like Garfield’s lasagne – just don’t expect it to get Squidward’s approval.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is a decent kart racing game, but technical issues and poor track design prevent it from being anything more than that. If you or your kids are huge Nicktoon fans then you’ll likely have some fun racing around as your favourites, but don’t go in expecting a Mario Kart killer.

Es un juego recomendado quizás para los más pequeños del hogar, que pueden entretenerse con los personajes, escenarios y movimientos que se generan dentro de las carreras, pero no para los que buscan algo más de la experiencia. Sus múltiples fallos, sumado a los problemas de rendimiento, hacen que Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 no valga lo que cuesta actualmente en la tienda, siendo más una anécdota que un verdadero juego.

I cannot believe I was actually excited for Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3. Honestly, I legitimately had high hopes for it. I thought that fan feedback and the resources offered by next-gen machines would let its developers craft a serious competitor to Mario Kart. Man, how disappointed I am. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 is worse than its predecessor in almost every single conceivable way. This game is in dire need of going back to development in order to be properly finished. It is, so far, the worst performing game I’ve played in a next-gen console, and possibly the most disappointing release of 2022.

Visually it’s colourful and bright and fully embodies the source content in spades.  Whereas sound is a bit of a damp squib on all fronts; from the library sounding soundtrack, to the poor voice acting from a questionable selection of “sound-alikes”, which is a shame as this is the first game to feature voiceovers.  Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is a rough and ready karting title, it’s a love letter to all things Nickelodeon, but is wrapped around an extremely questionable racing core that really needs tweaked and refined.  Oddly this has the feeling at times of a budget offering, but is a full priced title, which throws up even more questions about things.  Unless you are a Nickelodeon uber-fan, this one is best left in the pits for now.
