Some notable crew characters include the lovable Spunky from Rocko’s Modern Life and Gary from SpongeBob Squarepants, with the game’s Turbo Edition offering two exclusive crew characters including Firelord Ozai from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

There are 90 crew members to choose between, and it’s a lot of fun to mix-and-match these in the game.

With the lead crew member, you’re able to fill up your Slime Meter while racing and activate their unique support ability whenever you like, with the other characters complementing this with their own passive buffs. Depending on the sort of support abilities you want to focus on, you’ll choose one character to be the lead or chief, and will then assign the roles of crew mechanic and crew engineer to the two other characters you’ve selected. Each pit crew member boasts their own unique support ability. © Bamtang Games, GameMill Entertainmentįor example, at the start of each race, players are able to piece together a pit crew of three characters to help aid them in their efforts to slide across the finish line in first place. However, you also have access to other elements to help spice things up as well. As you’d expect, you have your standard kart racing mechanics such as jumping, drifting, using items, and so on. The controls are wonderfully simple and approachable, which is great for those looking to purchase the game for their kids. If you’ve played through previous Nickelodeon Kart Racer games, or enjoy games like Mario Kart and Team Sonic Racing, you’ll likely have no trouble navigating your way through Slime Speedway.

However, if you're considering snagging the game for yourself as a kart racer fan for example, Slime Speedway is one that’ll be more worthy of consideration in the future once some of the bugs have been patched, or once the game is available at a discount rather than its full $49.99 (USD) price point. Slime Speedway is one of those middle of the road games that, if you have kids, might be worth scooping up at launch thanks to its colorful graphics and fun assortment of cartoon chaos that’ll help keep them both busy and entertained. I didn’t exactly love the time I spent playing Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway, but I didn’t hate it either.
