Something really interesting about NKR3: The victory theme samples the Nick jingle! Seems licensed music may be on the table. That being said, the CatDog track still uses a legally distinct version of the theme

I think getting the original songs might be easier if you don't use the master recordings. Case in point, Nicktoons Racing:

1. The GBC version features 8-bit versions of the Rugrats theme and Nick jingle
2. Every other version has the R&S theme play on the R&S track, but it's a new arrangement made for the game.

Have y'all seen the game's tutorial? Sandy, Patrick and Squidward have actual fully voiced banter in it.

as opposed to any one fun?

Is it original dialog? With Carolyn Lawrence/Bill Fagerbakke/Roger Bumpass?

I know I already asked if the voice actors were the official ones and not soundalikes, but I didn't get an answer. Either way this should be good news for NASB2 having the pre-fight conversations feel like real conversations, although Nick might've just okayed it because it's SpongeBob characters talking with each other.

I think the Patrick Star Show Track uses a bit of the show's theme song as a sample aswell. I thought that was pretty cool.

Huh, I guess they really do want to address all the NASB complaints then.

This game's really gonna need lotsa word-of-mouth in order for any potential NASB2 to address those complaints as well, seeing as how it's not making as big of a splash despite addressing those complaints and Mario Kart being twice as popular as Smash.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

The Mario Kart audience is mostly kids and families, while most of the Smash audience is hypebeasts and gaming obsessives - you can only really get a big hype cycle for a kart racer (without being Mario) if you try to make a more advanced game like CTR or the Korean KartRider games, which the NKR games pretty clearly aren't aiming for.

Either way, NKR3 needs to be a commercial success and then some for those disappointed with NASB1 to be...not as disappointed with 2. Remember, none of Paramount's money can go to funding Nicktoons games, it's the publisher's job.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Apparently Jojo is completely silent in NKR3.

I've also heard that Chuckie has a soundalike.

 

[RileyXY1]

I currently have not seen Sheldon or Tuck (from My Life as a Teenage Robot) as crew members. They might end up being DLC racers themselves.

oh god are we really doing this again

 

[RileyXY1]

Turns out Tuck is there. Sheldon is still a no-show.

I haven't seen Goku and Minecraft Steve in this game either. I guess they're also coming as DLC characters then.

 

[Guynamednelson]

We can't have Min Min as a DLC character because that means she can equip a spirit of Min Min and that'll make the world explode.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Missing major characters from a represented series whew, in-game, every represented series has most of its' major characters as pit crew members, is way different than two completely unrelated 3rd/4th parties.

I think Geoffrey's mocking the idea that they left out characters from the pit crew selection so they would be DLC/pit crew members can't be DLC.

Ope-

Also that kinda makes sense, isn’t Chuckie’s new VA also Bart’s VA? Might’ve been a bit out of price range

It'd be hard for me to believe Nancy Cartwright is too expensive considering these games still have the likes of Frank Welker and Cam Clarke.

I moreso meant in the sense that Nancy Cartwright being more involved with Simpsons than Rugrats might’ve entailed a higher price to get her to sign on, compared to Frank Welker and Cam Clarke who Nick probably has on speed dial (and in Welker’s case he’s probably been doing voice work already for the upcoming Garfield show)

All just speculation of course but it’s my best guess.

None of the video games released after Nancy Cartwright took over the role of Chuckie actually had her voice him.

"Characters don't appear as spirits/ pit crew so they must be dlc"

and if you close your eyes..

 

[Guynamednelson]

tfw Robot Chicken and Death Battle could both get Dante Basco to voice Zuko but not an officially licensed game

Spoiler: here's the other VA credits btw

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

One thing I will say is that the water section implementation into 2's Northern Water Tribe was surprisingly clever, since it replaces a frozen-over lake from the original!

The track quality feels all over the place in this game.

Notably they got Arnold's VA from Extreme Tennis back, but not Aang's VA from NASB. Aang is the only character to be in both NASB and KR3 and not have the same VA in both games.

i assume odie's voice will just be barks and things unless of course he's quoting war and peace and humming motzart

Kinda yeah.

Not saying that it's unlikely, but it's a bit silly to jump into the conclusion that Sheldon or Tuck are gonna be DLC just because they don't appear in the game.

You could make the argument for a lot of other characters whose series are already represented.

Frankly I think NKR3's DLC would be more like, say, a Wild Thornberrys pack, a Rocket Power pack, etc. which contain a couple drivers+vehicles+tracks+pit crew members from their respective shows, which wouldn't be good for promoting pit crew members anyway.

Unless I'm overthinking things and they just sell individual drivers. Then Tommy and Angelica would be practically guaranteed, PNGs be damned.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway - Official Launch Trailer

This fast-paced, action-packed racing game is the biggest entry in the series yet, with a cast of 40 iconic characters from Nickelodeon’s huge roster of fan-...

youtu.be

Huh, this trailer music kinda reminds me of NASB’s “Get Ready, Get Ready”

Anyways, though I haven’t played it yet, Kart Racers 3 looks like it’s got even more mechanical intrigue and technique to it than Kart Racers 2 before it (which was already strong in that department) but I can’t bring myself to pick it up until the frame rate issues are fixed, as from what I gather it’s a widespread issue across all versions (including Series X)

I do recommend Kart Racers 2 and this game though, mechanically it’s really fun to figure out what customization options give you the best chance at one upping your own lap high scores

I play on Switch, and some of the tracks make the Switch suffer really bad. I really hope there's a patch coming for this ASAP.

I still had fun tho with the 7 cups I completed so far.

What would you say the drifting is like compared to Kart Racers 2?

 

[CapitaineCrash]

We've heard about framerate issues some players are experiencing and are actively working on a fix! - stay tuned for update timings

— Nickelodeon Kart Racers (@NickKartRacers) October 14, 2022

They're already working on a patch for the frame rate issues. Hopefully it comes soon.

Personally tho I didn't buy the game yet, probably going to wo wait for a sale which will probably happen around black friday.

I just hope the performance issues are solely a console thing.

I just tried playing my first online cup race...


...And I clipped through the floor, and got send all the way to last place. I was first the whole time too. I've never felt more salty in my life than now.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Surprised that Binky is a pit crew member, have any other Garfield & Friends or otherwise non-comic-strip Garfield characters been spotted? Lyman even?

well considering the amount of sea life in the game salty is appropriate

Nobody cares about Lyman

we don't talk about lyman.

And I think they are, since I'm consistently getting 120 FPS on my PC.

On a more disappointing note, I dislike Jimmy's voice acting. He's just quoting his lines from the movie out of context.
