When you video games with go-carts, you think Mario Kart. Now you have an alternative. Konami brings out their own kart racer full of characters from their own games. You probably haven't heard of all of the racers (not all have hit the USA) but Goemon the Ninja, Dracula from Castlevania, and some other unknown characters are available to you. You race in outer space, lava beds, and others to look for items, like hole diggers and missiles. Also, coins for getting better power ups. There are boosts and jumps on the 16 tracks, which are filled with obstacles. Your car has good steering and you can also hop so you'll be able to navigate through the courses. You get licenses after you complete each circuit. If you win a Time Attack trial and a one on one race, you unlock another circuit. You get messages in a email-box, which is on the WindowsOS style menu. The setup is neat, and so are the characters and backgrounds, making this a fun game. The tough tracks and AI will keep it challenging.

Much better than you would think

Back when the GBA had just come out and Mario Kart was not to be released for several months, Konami came to the rescue with Krazy Racers. Since this was a launch game, it satisfied my need for a kart racing game and it showed off what the GBA could do as opposed to the old GBC. Now, while most people would just dismiss this as another Mario Kart ripoff, this game was actually alot of fun. The game features Konami's famous cast of characters although there are a few that I'm sure most people in North America have never seen before. The multiplayer modes were a blast to play and there was actually a decent amount of little secrets to unlock. Overall, this game is one that you can enjoy if your a fan of Mario Kart and you can probably pick it up for cheap nowadays.

Konami's Krazy Racers....

Leave it to me to play one game of a certain type and I get all krazy(pun intended) and play a ton of games in that genre. After recently getting Crash Nitro Kart, I started to look for different types of kart racers for the Gameboy Advance and was quite surprised at what I found for the GBA alone. One such game was Konami's Krazy Racers. It was the first kart racer released for the system. It came to the rescue when Mario Kart Super Circuit was delayed after launch and, by all intents and purposes, is a pretty dadgummed good racer, even standing next to Mario Kart Super Circuit, Banjo-Pilot, Crash Nitro Kart and a host of others. They call it Krazy Racers because there is a krazy cast of characters to choose from(everyone from Goemon of Mystical Ninja, to Dracula from Castlevania and Moai from Gradius)that are all from Konami games of one sort or another. The graphics utilize the Mode 7-style 3D effects for the track layout and, overall, looks good on the GBA. It's a very tight, solid presentation by Konami. With eight racers, 16 tracks, and a ton of racing modes...it'll definitely keep you busy for awhile.

The bad thing is, like most kart racers, it apes too much from Mario Kart instead of creating it's own style for a racing game such as this. Even with its' wacky cast of Konami characters and tracks created with their games in mind, it feels too much like Mario Kart.

At any rate, I'm not going to knock it. After all, Mario Kart started the whole Kart racing genre. I came looking for other kart racers and found this one so it's bound to duplicate that style. All in all, Krazy Racers is a great game. I found it to be an enjoyable and addictive one as well. So, if you're looking for games of this sort, it'd do you good to pick this one up.

I think that this game is really cool. There are lots of awesome characters to choose from, great graphics, and many unexpected surprises. I think that this game is WAY better than Mario Kart Super Circuit because you can control your cart a lot easier, there are more items to use, and the characters are a lot more fun. One of the strongest points of this game is that there are lots of levels that you can choose from to play on and you can unlock new courses when you take tests to get new liscences. There are lots of courses that you can choose from, some are even in space, on ice, or in the sky. There's a bunch of cool things on the courses like jumps and pools of a purple liquid that turbo charge your cart. Another great thing about this game is that there are four hidden characters that you can unlock. This is one of the best video games thet I have ever played and I hope you enjoy playing it too.

Super fun game major!!!

This is a truly fun game!!! It's fun to compete with the computer, or friends. Each character has strengths and weaknesses, which makes it even more fun!!! I have taught this game to the majority of my friends so far and they too agree with me when I say this came is awesome!!!!!!!

This is the game that sold me on the Gameboy Advance. I'm a huge fan of Konami's Japanese franchises that these characters are pulled from. Any game with Goemon,Takosuke and an Easter Island head (Moai) has got to rock.And that it does. I like the Mario Kart games,and without them this game wouldn't exist....but this game is much more inspired and fast and colorful. The only flaw is that it's too easy to beat (even on hard). I really need to try out the 2 player mode some year to extend the game's life. Oh well,buy it!

Not Best But Okay.

Krazy racers does a pitiful job of keeping the game long, but at first its fun, and the graphics are pretty good. It would probably take an unexperienced gamer just a few hours to beat the whole game.

best game ever

i must say that my first opinion of this game was that the graphics were very neat and the handling was easy.I think the main thing this game is lacking is that although there are 4 different championships to compete in, some of the tracks from different championships are put in a different championship(slightly altered) for you to race on it again. apart from this i think it is a great game. it has 8 characters and each character is stronger or weaker than others but it usually works out that the strong ones are slightly slower than the weak ones.The sound in this game is excellent with different themes for each track and some speech off the characters but not much. i would think that mario kart cicuit advance will be slightly better as the characters are slightly better know and the graphics will be improved(although this will be hard to do as the grapjics of this gam are very good.)
