South Park kart racing in the Mario Kart mould. Show cast, Colorado-inspired tracks, absurd items, four-player multi. Solid concept on paper, but loose gameplay and shaky framerate. Fun for five minutes only if you love the show.

Description
Kart racing set in South Park developed by Tantalus Interactive, published by Acclaim in 1999 in Europe and North America. Fourteen characters from the show, twelve episode-inspired tracks, zany racing items, tournament mode and split-screen for up to four players.
Kart spin-off of the South Park licence by Acclaim, released in the US in late 1999. Modeled on Mario Kart but weighed down by imprecise handling and a fragile frame rate, it left only a faint play impression. Its value, driven mainly by sealed copies, stems from end-of-generation South Park curiosity on N64 and licence completism rather than any play appeal, the title remaining dated filler.
