Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is an upcoming racing video game developed by Bamtang Games and published by GameMill Entertainment. It is the third entry in the Nickelodeon Kart Racers series, following Nickelodeon Kart Racers (2018) and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix (2020). Like its predecessors, Slime Speedway is based around characters from various Nickelodeon animated series, known as "Nicktoons", participating in kart races and attempting to defeat their opponents. The game is scheduled for release on October 14, 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay[]
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway builds on the gameplay established in previous series entries. Players must race around a track and attempt to come in first place, using items scattered on the track to hinder opponents or techniques such as drifting and midair tricks to gain speed. As in the original Nickelodeon Kart Racers, vehicles will transform into watercraft at predetermined points in the race to continue progressing through the track.[1] The "pit crew" system from Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix returns, which allows players to equip special characters before each race that grant them active and passive abilities. These abilities can be activated once the player fills a meter by driving through a sufficient amount of slime on the track. Up to 90 crew characters can be unlocked in Slime Speedway.[2]
Slime Speedway includes over 40 playable characters from various Nicktoons, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[2] Character karts can be customized using a variety of different parts, each of which affects the kart's gameplay statistics such as speed or handling. While each kart body was tied to a specific character in the previous games, Slime Speedway allows any character to use any kart body.[2] In addition to karts, characters can now ride bikes as well.[1] The game features 36 race tracks, including some returning tracks from the previous game.[2] Slime Speedway supports both four-player local split-screen multiplayer and online multiplayer for up to 12 players.[1]
