The Mario Kart Ripoff

Well, I saw Roisin’s blog about KartRider. I thought, “Why not try it? Sounds pretty fun to me, even though it’s a ripoff.” Wow. Thats all I could say when I was playing it. 3D + MMORPG + Cars +Online Communication = Kart Rider Of course, I got my license. It was pretty much simple.
Ctrl is to throw items.
The up button is to accelerate.
Down was brakes and moving backwards.
Left and right made you choose which way to go.
Finally, shift makes you drift, which is important because you need it to win in speed races.
You get to create rooms which people have to get in to make a race. You get to have at most 8 people.

Umm… Now that I randomly told you stuff, let’s get going on blogging.

So, downloading was a piece of pie. When I clicked on the icon of a KartRider, the logging screen was pretty much different. It wasn’t in game like Maple Story. Instead, it was a different screen. I put in my Nexon ID, and off I went. There was ANOTHER difference. A huge one. After you log in MapleStory, you automatically play. In KartRider. you have many selections. Such as going to the shop, or creating a room, looking at your quests, time trials, going in a room, and many other things.

Ok, I like the game, but the speed mode is boring. It loses the suspense and I’m horrible at drifting. T.T Plus, with no items to back me up, I pretty much get owned by pros. Item mode is much more fun since you get to murder people with your items. =] I do good in it. But, sometimes I get bombed at the end by water bombs, missles, and some kind of bug that has the same effect as the water bomb, only the effect wears off faster.

If there’s any item I’d love, its the devil skull. The noobs will all be confused and even if I’m affected by it, I’ll still pass smoothly through them. Water bombs can be VERY annoying if you’re in first place. If they catch you, it a good chance that other riders will pass you while you’re in last. The flys are ANNOYING. Sometimes you’re catching up, then a fly catches you. However, using a shield will prevent it from hitting you.

I murdered people sometimes. I once was so fast, no one was able to get a rank so they retire. The first one to makes it there is obviously first. The other players gotta get the finish line before their 10 seconds are up. The 10 seconds happens when the first person passed the finish line.

This happens to be one of the first times I never used JoytoKey. I just can’t use it in Kart Rider. Oh well.

Overall, this game is very fun and can get addicting like Maple Story. I have a Rookie licence and my IGN is “SpeedyPain”. This game get’s a 10/10. Anyway, nothing much in Maple Story. I’m 70 – 75%, though. BeyondCrazy now can hold up to 30 people.

Pic 1: My latest ss. O.o I’m too lazy to check it, so its a random ss.

Til then.

And! I hope this changed your opinion about KartRider! And how do you get screenshots in it?

    lol Not really. Kart Rider seems to have ALOT of similarites between Mario Kart. But still, it’s a good game.

    Kart IS really popular in Korea, at least one-fourth of them have played it once.

  3. Mario Kart rip-offs aren’t uncommon. I played the game. Drifting just seems too, unstable for me. Then again, I’m used to power sliding around Double Dash like there’s no tomorrow. Just doesn’t make sense that drifting would slow you down, but I haven’t tried item mode. I figured it’d be harder.

    Its not Harder. O.o It’s actually a random choice. But to me, its easier.
    Its just my style. I don’t like drifting.

  5. I never tried it, but sounds cool~

    I really stink at racing games. I get owned so bad. Like, sometimes I can’t curve, and in a flash I’m one minute behind. :X

    Well, if you liked it, click the Like it button! And thanks! No problem.

  10. I can’t drift in Mario Kartouble Dash or in KR. XD but I pwn at MK whereas I kinda sorta slightly suck at this game. But it’s extremely fun.

    I’m stuck because one of my quests is to create a room and race with another person. I created the room but no one joined. . . maybe cos I was playing late at night lol. I don’t know how to take screenshots, but I went to the Nexon forums to see if anyone knew and there was a post saying to press F4, and it would save it in your KartRider folder.
