Konami Krazy Racers is a surprisingly unknown clone of Mario Kart for the GameBoy Advance which for me at least holds some sentimental value as it was my first GBA game, and one I loved playing. But why did I love playing it when Mario Kart Super Circuit was available to me? Let me tell you.

The game will begin with a surprisingly inviting intro movie with a rather high quality song playing through(Note that by high quality I mean sound quality, it's not good as a song. At least not to me) that can get in your head rather quickly. This intro serves it's purpose well, as it shows off the in-game graphics(I will get onto that more later) and (quickly)displays the cast of characters who are all from Konami games.

From that you are given the title screen, and after putting in a name to use, you will begin with the Grand Prix mode, which for the most part is a rather standard affair but the stages that have surprising interest to them. The stages are based around popular Konami games, though sadly there aren't a very large amount of variety, but for what there is of the stages, they start with Ganbare Dochu, which I believe is based around Goemon, and end up with Cyber Fields, which has the Metal Gear Encounter theme playing through it. Most of the tracks are fun to play on, though the angle of the mode 7 display of the roads can make certain tracks hard to see properly.

The characters are from many different Konami games(As I have already said) and each one plays slightly differently(though in no place does the game display this) and the character select screen looks nice being a large image with the selected character lighting up. Speaking of selection, the games whole user interface seems to be based around looking like it is on a computer, with the different modes being applications, and the cursor being a mouse arrow.

The soundtrack is from the appropriate game to each track and the sound quality for this is only a little over the quality of the Pokemon games sounding for the most part rather 8bit. Some tracks in the game sound nice such as the intro theme, but mostly, the versions of songs from the other Konami games are rather low quality, and not appealing to the ear.

The game looks rather nice when compared to other GBA racing games, the characters are well animated and fleshed out making them recognisable from each other at a distance and are each recognisable as their characters.(Except for Dracula who is for some reason blue now) The characters seem to play differently from each other, though there is nothing actually saying this. The character select screen gives no information except for a picture of the appropriate character. The only way to know the difference between the characters is to play each one and find how they react to control.

The game does not have too many tracks which means that they could all be played in a very short time. They range between only a few themes as well. Some of the tracks have secret paths which leads to better times etc, but in the end, they don't change too much, using the same driving styles and themes repeatedly. The battle tracks are rather interesting to play around on though, as they have many twisting jumps making for some rather fun multiplayer battling.

The game has some interesting features that many other racing games don't such as the item shop, which allows you to increase the amount of items you get from bells, but only two can be active at any one time, otherwise it would be horribly unbalanced. The other feature is the licences which are required to do the other grand prixs. The licences are acquired by doing a few tests. These usually consist of time trials, one on one races, and regular races.

Unfortunately, once the Grand Prixs and Licences, then there is little left to do in the game. Theres two small minigames to do, but past that, you will not be likely to pick this up again unless it is to play it with someone else.

Nice review, tails the fox! It could have had a little more detail, but it was alright, I guess. I understand that this is your first review, and I have seen your other reviews. You are right, they are far better. This is still fairly good, though.
