About Super Indie Karts

About this game

Super Indie Karts is a classic retro '90s style karting game featuring a large curation of Indie game karts and Indie game-themed race tracks, in both the 16-bit flat Super style and the 64-bit low poly Ultra style. With Time Trials, Grand Prix, Splitscreen GP, Quick Race, and a few Battle Modes.. there's plenty of ways to tackle the tracks!

Indie Crossovers so far include: - ToeJam & Earl: Back In The Groove - Burrito Bison - Mutant Mudds - Runbow - Freedom Planet - Teslagrad - Fist Of Awesome - Read Only Memories 2064 - Canabalt - Duck Game - Toto Temple Deluxe - Knightmare Tower - Aegis Defenders - Shutshimi - Cross Code - Guacamelee! - and many more to come! With over 40 tracks currently ready to race on, in 4-speed classes, plus mirror mode, there'll also be plenty of achievements and unlocks to keep you drifting and burning pixel rubber 'till the pixelated billboard sun goes down!

With one foot firmly in the past, witness authentic '90s hardware limitations such as:

Super Style

  • shockingly bad draw distance!
  • fast, incredibly small, almost claustrophobic, tracks!
  • trees and obstacles that pop up 5 yards in front of you!

Ultra Update

  • increased draw distance and track area size!
  • large open antigrav racetracks that corkscrew and loop-de-loop into the skies!
  • more cranked up than a joypad with a double wedgie!

Retro Sensibilities

  • World-leading watermelon physics engine! (featuring Blast Processing!)
  • 1992 style screen curvature and motion blur! (optional)
  • Indie Game crossovers you know and love, and some you don't yet know you, love!

More info on the final game:
Play as some super Indie Game characters, coming to battle it out in some super Indie Game-themed tracks! It might get a little bumpy out there as there are plenty of weapons on the track to spin you out: Melons, Exploding Pangapples, Slippy Gelatos, Heat Seeking Loconuts, Giant Halloween Pumpkins, Mutant Toms, and 3 different strength Chilli Boosts!

The game was KickStarted late in 2014 and is aimed for completion in 202x. You don't have to wait until completion though as you can join in now with Early Access! The EA game currently boasts over 30 characters, with 32 Super tracks, 8 Ultra (64) tracks, and 4 recently added Advanced tracks, with 20 more tracks to come, to play Single Player or 2/3/4 Player Splitscreen in Grand Prix mode (and in Mirror Mode), in Time Trials, and 9 arenas in Battle Mania which recently went through a serious overhaul. More play modes, characters, and features will be added each month as the Early Access weeks drift on by.

Incredibly addicting kart racer. Reminds me of the old Mario Kart 64 days. I would absolutely recommend Super Indie Karts.

80/100 it’s really fun with unique course designs but it is an early access, so some content is missing, but I would definitely recommend it

If you like drifting on Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing, you will probably find this a must have kart racing gem. Developer still active and working on new racers, courses, features. Graphics are a mix of retro and modern style but the gameplay is fast and comparable with modern kart racing games. 150cc and 200cc if you are experienced drift booster! Combo up drift boosts with ground boosters and jumps/ramps to rocket ahead!

Pretty fun racing game. It's unfortunate that there isn't any real difference between the characters other than their sprites (as far as I can tell), but that's understandable when there are so many. It has a pretty nice aesthetic, fun gameplay, and some cool tracks (I highly recommend Runbow Road).

Good fun, better than the description

This game, despite the way it's described, is pretty polished. It's similar in feel to old school Mario Kart, but with a lot more variety in terms of tracks, power ups, and racers. It's been fun to play with the kids on the sofa. Also, it works perfectly on Steam Deck without any additional configuration. If you're looking for something similar to Diddy Kong Racing / Old school Mario Kart, grab this. It's a fun one.

Lovely racing game and a lot of fun! I know none of the characters but it is a blast to race the different tracs. Even though the game is still in development there are a good number of cups to choose from and a lot more on the way. All maps are designed in a very nice way and there are a few extra mechanics that I really enjoyed. The other racers are definitely on the trickier side, even on 50cc (the slowest and easiest) they are challenging. I mainly got the game as something similar to mario kart that I can play on my pc and indie karts is the best racing game for pc i have found yet. 100% recommendation for everyone who likes the style and racing! ;D
