Gameplay

Similar to GameMill's Nickelodeon Kart Racers trilogy, All-Star Kart Racing features 20 playable DreamWorks Animation characters from Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind, Trolls, The Boss Baby, and The Bad Guys; two additional characters are available in a downloadable content pack. 20 race tracks are present, with five of the six cups using four for each cup. While not playable, the titular Trolls characters have a major presence as the hosts of each race, which feature unique gimmicks such as extra musical notes and unique hazards. They also hop onto the karts when a driver collects enough Musical Notes on the tracks. Upon obtaining a certain amount of notes, there are "Troll Surprises" that function as special items.[1][2]

Playable Characters

Counting downloadable content, DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing features 22 playable characters from across 8 franchises. Of these, 8 are available from the start in the base game, 12 are unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions in gameplay, and 2 are paid downloadable content.
