About Go Kart Mania 4
Go-kart games remain quite popular with all their quirkiness and weird tracks, but some of the games try to be a bit more grounded. This game is more of a classic depiction of a go-kart race but with some extra elements thrown in. The kart will handle a lot of the driving, you just need to handle the control which can be a challenge. The thing is that go-karts don't handle like regular cars due to their design so it can be easier to crash than you think. Try to remember that as you tear up the tracks for the coveted first-place spot.

Whether you choose a race or a career, you'll have the chance to choose your kart. You can unlock more karts by earning stars in races. You can also upgrade your kart's stats by spending prize money. When your kart is selected, you can choose which circuit you want to race. Each circuit has four races that will become unlocked as long as you finish previous races in top positions. When you choose a race, you'll be placed in a position at the start alongside other racers. When it starts, the kart will automatically accelerate and you'll need to steer it. You have limited Nitro that you can activate when you so choose. Finish the race by completing laps and the higher your position, the more stars and money you'll earn.
Tips and Tricks
The go-kart controls are simple but how the go-kart controls is tricky. The kart can make turns that are much sharper than you realize and it's also much wider than you think making it easy to crash into walls and other karts. While you're trying to get a grip on the kart, try to stay in the middle of the track while keeping your distance from other racers.
