I was so excited when I first bought this game. I raced home, popped it into my GBA played it for about 15 minutes, got up, and left to go do something else. I love Mario Kart, and if your reading this review about Krazy Racers I'm sure you've played it and like it too, and thats what Krazy racers is, a copy of Mario Kart, only 10x worse. Somehow, there isn't much track variety. Sure you'll go from an ice level to a space level to a stadium, bit some how, all the tracks just don't differ much from each other, in difficulty or anything. The characters, unless you've dedicated your long lasting life to Konami, chances are you probably won't know a whole bunch of them. The weapons are basically the same as in Mario Kart, just slightly different, blue rocket, red rocket, drill, and junk like that. The gameplay, well, for me did not do all that much. I was never in a moment where I had sweat dripping down my forehead with my palms sweating loosing grip of the controller and worrying that on the final lap if I don't win first I'll have game over and won't make it to the Super Cup. I never had one of those moments like I did in Mario Kart, the whole game just didn't pull me in. Graphics, good. Ok, my advice, please wait for Mario Kart Circuit, it should be a lot better with more famaliar characters for everybody(hopefully), and an overall better game. But this whole review is just my opinion. Game on.

terrible game

First of all the only thing good about Konami is Castlevania. All other games stink and this one takes the cake. If you want a good racing game reach for F-zero or mario kart super circuit not this garbage

Get Mario Kart!!! this game is not worth it!

....The graphics are nice, and the game play is solid, but it was WAY to easy! I beat everything (in Normal), including the S license tracks, in less then 10 hours of play. Because of that I don't recommend you buy this game unless you have friends/family that already own it and can take advantage of the multi-player options. The single player mode is just to short, and you'll quickly grow bored if that's all you can take advantage of.

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.

Mario Kart Clone, less than famous characters, new modes

This would be a great game, if Super Mario Kart Circuit did not exist. Why? Because the game Konami Krazy Racers is a clone of Super Mario Kart Circuit, only with different tracks, a few new modes and less than famous Konami characters. The weapons are less than stellar, as you run through a bell and get a random weapon of a bomb, snow crystals to freeze enemies behind you, a mole to dig a hole, a booster or three rockets to shoot ahead. The controls are even the same, A to accelerate, B to brake, L to use a weapon and R to jump. There are four circuits of four tracks in this game and three levels of difficulty. The tracks are nothing special, its more like an extension of Super Mario Kart, having courses on a beach, moon road (star road), and a cabbage patch (donut plains). The new modes are quite nice, with two mini games, like a game of chicken where you and 3 random racers race toward the end of the track then stop before falling off. Then there is also the "bomb track" mini game where you and three random opponents chase each other trying to destroy one another. Its quite tedious and boring. Another feature to this game is you can collect coins while racing to buy better vehicle parts, which is quite nice. There are cartoonish graphics (Konami is known for making dark graphics), some bad music, and to me personally buying this clone was an insult, because of how similar it is to Super Mario Kart Circuit.

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.

This game is very similar in terms of fun and replay value as Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. The game itself is fun, but can be beaten in less than a few hours. Unless a friend has everything as well and is willing to play Multiplayer, then this game is worthless.

Unless you're a big racing fan and like to repeat the same racetrack over and over and over again, or if you have a friend who will play with you, don't get this game.

Not Mario Kart but...

okay...like everyone else i was disappointed that mario kart didn't launch with the GBA. what can you do? i picked up krazy racers the day after launch and decided to give it a try. surprisingly, once you can overcome the comparisons to Kart, krazy racers is actually a really good game. the graphics are amazing, much better than kart on the SNES. the music is okay. the characters are unfamiliar but are neato. the power-ups are cool and track design is pretty good. even if you're a kart veteran, the upper levels of this game will give you a bit of a challenge. overall, i'd say its a good buy. the only that hurts it is the lack of a good battle mode. it has mini-battle type games, but they pale in comparison to the b-mode in kart.
