The monumental success of the Mario Kart series formula has resulted in a tidal wave of copycats. Previously we've talked about kart racers using Spongebob, Disney, even Family Guy! And today we're back, taking a look at even more Mario Kart clones from the likes of Final Fantasy, Disney (again!), and Shrek.

That line haha 11:44
STOP BEING GREEDY
Honestly I think LittleBigKarting was pretty good.
It's pretty similar, but I don't think it's on "Never play this" levels of similar
Shrek actually had 2 kart racers: Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway on the GBA, and Shrek Smash and Crash Racing on the 6th Gen Consoles
and DS and 3DS...
Aaron didn't include Smash N Crash because it's a game you should play.
He also appeared in Madagascar Kart too, if I remember correctly
@@SnaksiXD I’ve actually played Smash and Crash Racing on my DS and 3DS
@@TeknoThom I’ve also played this on my Wii
Just some constructive criticism: If the title says to never play the games within the video…why start it with 3 different games that you said were good?
It's just a way to make the title more clickable. If he named the video "Deep Look at mario kart clones" or "Underrated Mario kart clones you probably never played" it probably would get way less views, that's hoe youtube works
Did you know that little big planet kart has a creepy unused track
What
It does?
@@ndprod.animationenthusiast9376 just look in the cutting room floor it’s in the unused tracks section
Yeah. One that is just emptiness with a finish line next to you. If you choose to cross the finish line, a big disturbing bull head with popped-out bleeding eyes will come out. Check it out if you don't believe me. I honestly find it kind of funny, but other people are really scared of it
Kinda like Kitty Kart 64?
Sweet seeing Modnation Racers and Little Big Planet Karting getting acknowledged in 2024! Love both games! Unfortunate that Sony shut down their servers!
I hope they get a remake or a re release on modern consoles
There is the discussion of fan servers which have been happening with a lot of these games that lost their online support. So Modnation Racers and LBP Karting aren't out of the realm of that possibility.
@@Siivajenna me too
Nah bro I still will play all the Mario Kart clones because I love Mario Kart so much.
7:54 *Laughs in Yoshi's Story*
This was pure clickbait, because not all of these Mario Kart clones are bad! And you expect us to NEVER play any of them based on the video's title? Shame on you!
This is kind of what a lot of these youtubers do whenever they decide to acknowledge other kart racers outside of just Mario Kart. They'll call them clones and tell us how bad they are. They all basically think they're all trash and Mario Kart is the only good one out there. People do the exact same thing with platform fighters.
Agreed. Waited to hear why Disney racer was so bad…still waiting. Screw click bait. Dislike. Move on 🤣.
Many times that's the talk of someone who has grown up with the game, which apparently makes big difference on games considered trash. Rayman 1 is not so bad when I was young. Others don't agree that much
When they world need him he came back
he uploads like once a month
@ralfeelius yeah I never get why people say things like this if a youtuber uploads often
I actually feel bad for mario in the thumbnail he actually looks scared that he his going to fall off a cliff but awesome video.
So based off the title, you _are_ telling us to play the Sonic racing games...?
Sonic all star racing transformed is just as good as mario kart imo
If it has a car in it, it's a clone apparently
I know you're not familiar with the Ben 10 franchise, Aaron, but you should check out Ben 10 Galactic Racing.
I forgot that game existed completely. That was peak
@@crimsonstormsurge I have it for the Wii, it's a great game.
You Totally Forgot Crash Racing Games And Pacman World Rally.
Because they took inspiration from Mario Kart to become their own thing
Actually Disney speedstorm (which I believe you covered last video) has recently done a massive overhaul update effectively removing season locks on content and mark it far less monetisation focused
This is pretty cool, I’ll have to check it out! When I covered it I didn’t even know it was going to be free to play so I paid $40 for early access on accident LOL
Nah speedstorm is in a horrible state now i dont recommend. Gameloft and their devs are trying to squeeze their player base wallets dry. Never seen a game this monetized.
@Assh8812 at least the monetisation is optional and most characters can be unlocked via story mode or missions or events now and characters that you could only get in battle passes are Available at a later date and they drastically streamlined how upgrading characters works. But yeah I'm not going to say it doesn't have any cause it certainly does and honestly it probably shouldn't have that much and if you want everything quickly then yeah you gotta pay but at least more stuff can be unlocked for free easier than it could before
Speedstorm is a shit show. I discovered it in April and the only way to be competitive is to rank up your racers which can only be done by playing ranked multiplayer, but they match you with players based on Multiplayer Rank, not actual racer rank. So you could be playing with a level 15 racer and be matched up with a level 35-40 racer who will be halfway across the map ahead of you within seconds of the race starting and you’ll never catch them and are effectively only racing for 5th-8th place. Oh and if you don’t get 4th place or higher, you actually get level up points taken away. Does this ranking mismatch happen alot? Only every single time you play.
I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the token simplification is much welcomed. On the other, the season pass is a lot harder to work around without spending cash on it (I got in on Frozen season and got both that one and Little Mermaid with tokens), and they keep locking chars behind paywalls or having them constantly show up without giving ways to ease their acquirement.
I still play it and have good times, but Im losing trust on it, Ill see how it keeps going to see how it goes tho.
Crash team racing was always my favorite racer for PS1. Probably one of the best Mario kart clones.
What exactly would you say are the elements that separate a Mario Kart clone from other 3D racing games? Some of the commonly cited clones don't even use go-karts.
Love this style of video from you a ton, keep up the great work!
Thank you, I will do my best 🫡
When there’s no mention of Shrek Smash n Crash Racing
I liked that game tbf
12:24 RIP Solid Snake and the entire Belmont family though. It does have "Cyborg Ninja" who is literally just Gray Fox (Olga's helmet was different and her armor had a slightly different color scheme and MGS4 didn't exist yet and even if it did, Raiden's armor was completely different) but why didn't they just call him that and why him instead of Snake? Sus AF.
The sonic racing games is its own little series. Even then they have some differences that separate them from Mario kart. Transformed had vehicles you could fly in the air (not glide) and let you motorboat above water instead of driving underwater. Sounds like semantics but these designs could drastically change up the map as the laps progressed. Destroying sections of the track in order to use the different modes. The boat felt different from an underwater kart as well, having you drive while tackling the waves from the water and currents that could pull you in. In team sonic racing there is a you guessed it team mechanic that lets you do some techniques to quickly progress through the track. There are also character types that impact how you go through the track. This game is alright but can be a great time with friends. Item wise these games work exactly like Mario kart, I’m not going to sugar coat it. There are some exceptions but it’s a Mario kart item with a twist.
0:45 Yeeeeeeessssssssss
Mickey The Speedway
Let's Gooooooo!!!!!
I hope this isn't the end of it. There are soooo many kart racers left to talk about!
I feel like that some companies just copy some Nintendo games like Mario Kart and Smash bros way too much. But then again Nintendo doesn’t own this kind of format
I had modnation the grad tour (I think the grand tour) on my psVita it was pretty fun but it was sad when you couldn't place more things down when making a custom map
They’re not Mario Kart Clones, they’re other Kart Racers. Kart Racers’ a genre that Mario Kart’s apart of.
I didn't know there was a Mickey mouse racing game on the 64.
Well now you do 😀
I thought you were going to say Diddy Kong racing was a Mario kart clone for a minute good one
4:18 Bro doesn't know about Ludwig and Huey being broken
Even Pete and Goofy are good.
I just don't get why people never wanna call Mortal Kombat and Tekken clones of Street Fighter, but when it comes to kart racing games, they're always calling them a Mario Kart clone. It's a double standard. The ironic thing is, Mario Kart didn't really kick-start the kart racing genre. Power Drift came out before it. Mario Kart definitely popularized the genre, but people are always acting as if it were the originator. Tbh, it just feels like gamers hate anything that isn't popular. If you aren't playing Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Fall Guys, Fortnite, Among Us, Super Smash Bros, NBA2K, Madden, WWE, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, GTA, Mario Party, and Mario Kart then the games you are playing just suck. Anytime Nintendo posts a trailer to a new season of Disney Speedstorm, Mario Kart stans are all under the comment section just bashing the game for simply just existing. PlayStation fans do the same to KartRider: Drift. Smash Bros fans also act like weirdos towards Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and MultiVersus. Are we all supposed to just be into games that are popular ? I thought the whole point of being a gamer was to you know PLAY GAMES.
Spot on 👍
Your the goat
if that was real money you ripped up, you better hope the government doesn't find out because ripping up money is actually illegal
Brudda I think he knows that, you aren't actually this gullible right? 💀
It's not actually, it's a myth. It's only illegal to deface or destroy currency with intent to disrupt the economy or counterfeit
What’s up amipos it’s Aaronitmar welcome back to some more Let’s Play
2:20 No, Philadelphia in Kingdom Hearts would kick BALLS
There were also a series called "Myth Makers" that was available on PS2 & Wii
1:11 you call THAT a racing game?
I sure hope the thumbnail is teasing one of my favorite and most nostalgic games, Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway for GBA.
Thanks for the nostalgie
Disney had another Kart racer, I think called: Disney world quest: Magical racing tour. Really good, deserves a modern update
By the way, that GBC Disney racing game is actually really good. At the very least it has a great soundtrack.
Recently I’ve been enjoying Disney speedstorm. It’s surprisingly fun and they are not super aggressive with the micro transactions which is refreshing.
I know bomberman fantasy race isn't exactly the kind of game that's considered a "kart" game, especially since bomberman does have kart games, it's more in line with Sonic R where you control a footrunning character able to perform jumps, wall kicks and such. But so many racing games nowadays completely have abandoned giving more complex controls other than ways to drift and boost. funny that Sonic fangames like Sonic Robo Blast are about the only ones in recent memory.
The Krazy Kart Racing delisting is especially egregious because the sequel has both Solid Snake and Frogger as playable characters.
Rip LBP karting, i loved that pirate ship map.
I’d love to see you talk about the good kart racers like Sonic and all stars transformed and mod nation racers!
8:04 "Waiting for a lawsuit to be announced any day now".
Yoshi's Story : 1997
Aww hell no, no mention of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing?
the griddy world of rocket racing clones
right foot creep
hahaha didn't expect you to reply, good video though as always!
Every masterpiece has a cheap copy.
But sometimes the cheap copy is good. Sometimes.
@christianparrish3292 two words: Angry Birds
@@brencearanton-fk7px fair point.
I was actually expecting Skunny Kart, because it's like one of the first PC kart racers that I can think of that copies the format.
Tour also uses the special items.
What, no Garfield Kart of Hello Kitty Cruisers?
i'm surprised you've never covered SRB2Kart or it's sequel Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers
Sure, they're fangames, not official projects, but they're still damn good. Ring Racers does have a bit of a learning curve, but if you can get past that, it's honestly among my all time favorite games.
I love Ring Racers. Such a great game. I didn’t get into SRB2 Kart as much but the few times I did play it was pretty good too
The best kart racer I've ever played is NASCAR Rumble for the PS1. The cars are all race cars from 1999 (Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, all them), but it controls like a kart racer, and has a bunch of weapons ike tornadoes and storm clouds and shit. It's an actual blast.
Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing (especially the remake) are top tier kart racers, of course MK really started it but I prefer those two games way more than any MK game, those really refined and expanded on the genre.
All I can say is, with the closing of the servers for LittleBigPlanet 3 on PS4, rest in peace to the LittleBigPlanet series.
Never forget that in mortal Kombat armageddon was a kart racing game
Im still waiting for that to return lol
I literally thought that Mario kart was the clone back then hahah
11:35 This should just be a lesson. Don't buy into the live service model, especially one as predatory as the chocobo one was.
If you cover this topic again, don't forget Skylanders Superchargers Racing for the Wii and 3DS
I'm just left thinking, ‘He didn’t even talk about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’.
3:39 The red shell in both "Super Mario Kart" and "Mario Kart 64" also had this problem.
That because it never had a fixed trail path like the rest of the Mario karts games lol modern games the reds were only useful in close range to ur opponent unless in mk7-8 it was long rage but it also do to render in from a distance so the reds were only useful when ur in close range to ur opponents otherwise it’s useless
Pac Man World Rally was one i thought you would feature.
18:10 I thought the exploit was specific to the LBP main series?
Diddy Kong Racing 2 when?
RC pro am was a kart racer that Rare made on the NES.
How could you talk about Mario Kart clones and not mention the masterpiece that is M&M’s Kart Racing?
You might want to include Disney Speedstorm next time. I'd like to see your opinion. Greetings!
..... is that older Disney racing game RC Pro AM reskinned?
It's kinda crazy how many Kart racers just try to do their own thing to be different and end up playing like ass because of that same reason.
just wait until you have to play smurfs kart you will be in for a ride
no Garfield kart mentioned wow...lol
Never heard of Mickey Mouse racing only diddy Kong i think I’ll be playing it :3
Can say that seeing previews on Disney Speedstorm, I can give ya the scoop.
Sadly the game is literally a mess right now in their Ranked Multiplayer Mode:
1. Since they changed the Upgrade System to Upgrade Coins, sadly it is hard to get em and the shards to star up the characters are now used to upgrade your racer too.
2. They are making missions more difficult to accomplish as even new players or f2p players would struggle. They need specific characters and some needed for a higher level that this upgrade coin system hinders it.
3. Due to this change, more people who had many upgrade materials that are converted to upgrade coins now have many lvl 50 maxed racers. Not even those who barely had experience or progress can get higher at all when they are in the way.
4. Ranked puts even high lvl racers against low lvl racers that its simply not fair anymore. No chance to get first or progress either.
5. They also took away the ability to race with other racers in local or private lobby for free if you haven't unlocked them anymore.
6. Collecting their shards can be proven difficult now.
7. Golden Pass splits into 2 and now you are forced to pay 10 bucks for the golden pass each part which is 20 bucks now. No longer able to purchase the pass with tokens for f2p to be screwed.
8. Sudden change in crew members now give less stats to improve your racer with percentage instead.
9. Lightweight racers aka low top speed racers cannot compete as much anymore against midweight and heavyweight racers with higher top speed than them.
10. Game is more pay to play now than free to play.
Its how the state of the game is that it lost more players to support it
4:23 typical for THAT era?? I cant even get 1st place let alone keep it in mario kart 7, those cpus are definitely faster than me AND they bully me :(
Crash Bandicoot. There's a lot of even the racing games.
Speedstorm
Is Pretty Fun
I have an origins video idea for you for super smash bros
And it uses a Browl exclusive feature
You should do a character select voice lines origins
What about Chris Pratt!? I mean… Garfield lol
If anything, at least the Dreamworks racing game did more justice to Megamind than his new movie and show did 😂
It's also a lot better than Dreamworks Superstar Kartz. I hope they do a sequel to it since Gamemill did the same for Nickelodeon Kart Racers.
You can't stop me mom, I do what I want!
Game Mill Entertainment are the worst video game developers especially when it comes to license games mainly because they are too scared to fail with originality rather than to attempt to succeed with imitation only for them to fail anyways because they a greedy capitalist company that never had genuinely good games but yet they are still around while other good video game development companies that are genuinely better than Game Mill Entertainment have unfortunately fallen unceremoniously. Game Mill Entertainment had no business making bad Mario Kart clones, with licensed IP'S or without licensed IP'S, especially the Nickelodeon Kart racer games, which is not surprising considering the gameplay is subpar and cheap, then again the Nickelodeon licensed games developed by Game Mill Entertainment was probably the idea of our favorite crustaceous cheapskate Mr. Krabs who probably convinced Cyma Zarghami and Brian Robbins and the executives of Nickelodeon to do business with Game Mill Entertainment simply because Nickelodeon has not had a good video game since the mid-2000s! To the surprise of no one who is not an idiot, it was a bad idea! It's also annoying that in the Nickelodeon Kart racers games, some more popular characters were intentionally left out while unpopular modern characters (like a certain unlikeable female character from a mediocre overrated Nickelodeon spin-off cartoon from 2012 [I won't name that cartoon here because I don't want to deal with and get harassed by their toxic standom] with the whiny voice and the bratty attitude and the unnaturally large muscularly non-feminine body) from a mediocre unpopular Nickelodeon spin-off cartoon for example) are unnecessarily in it. I sometimes feel like Patrick saying "Who are you people?!?". If I want a good Mario Kart clone that has become good enough to be popular in its own right I would rather play Crash Team Racing & Sonic and Sega All-Stars racing because they were actually genuinely good fun games that are cool alternatives among other cool alternatives to Mario Kart. Who would want to willingly wasting their money on a mediocre produced video games, especially Nickelodeon's rip off Mario Kart clone developed by Game Mill Entertainment?
I ain’t never been here this early
Will one day talk about Digimon kart?
garfield cart prevails
Now review Robotnik' Ring Racers
Haven't watched this yet, but if you start talking smack about CTR and Shrek Smash n Crash, me and you finna throw hands.
Oh shit. Mickey Speedway mentioned.
Wait, let me get this straight.
Square Made a Spin off Game on the Playstation, featuring characters from games that helped them get notariaty.
And they made it Nintendo exclusive?
Can you do an updated multiversus costume vid
I actually have Mickey Mouse Speedway USA. I also have Chocobo GP.
Are you going to do Victory screen Origins for Smash 4 and Ultimate?
If people want a Kart game, they just buy a Nintendo console. Mario Kart is still the #1 most sold Nintendo series as of 2024.
My guess is Mario Kart 9 will be a launch game for next Nintendo console.
When Lego racers Review?
Idk if it is on purpose but the title reminds me of Caddicarus.
Gensou Skydrift is a pretty good one. Cant really call a game where you use anime girls as hoverboards a "kart racer" though can i?
Dreamworks all star kart is pretty fun
Lego 2k drive is best one nowadays period it plays like Mario kart mix with the crew 2
There’s another DreamWorks kart racer, DreamWorks Super Star Kartz. Review that next time.
PLEASE tell me those were fake $100s you tore up.
I started with gamecube mario kart
Where's M&M kart racing for the wii?
