Namco Mario-Kart-like racing with Pac-Man and classic Namco characters (Dig Dug, Mappy, etc.). Themed tracks, inspired items, arcade handling. Fun concept but overshadowed by Mario Kart Double Dash. Pleasant for Namco retro fans.

Is Pac-Man World Rally still worth playing in 2026?
A Pac-Man kart racer packed with nods to the Namco stable, World Rally joins the long line of Mario Kart imitators without ever finding its own identity. The tracks inspired by classics entertain for a while and the driving stays decent, but the lack of bite, the predictable items and the crushing competition push it into the background. Pleasant in multiplayer among Namco nostalgics, it has few arguments to compete today.
