When you go around corners, you can let go of the gas and drift, which if done successfully can give you a boost at the end of the drift. In KartRider: Drift there is an entire drifting element, hence the name. These items do mean that you need a degree of luck and fast reactions in order to win, but it’s so fun seeing them in action! Speed on the other hand only has one item you can gain nitro which is a speed boost. Others can mess with players dropping bananas, adding walls into the map, throwing a portal balloon that can trap a bunch of players. Some of these items just help you like speed boosts or shields. You can hold two items at a time, which can be swapped between. My personal favourite mode is items mode! Much like other racing games, you can bash through boxes that can be found on the map, getting a variety of different items. You can then play either of these modes as a solo player or in teams where your teammate can help you through Helpful items or through winning so that you will be moved up towards the top. There are a few different race modes in KartRider: Drift primarily one that uses items and one that is all about skill and speed. When playing against other players, however, you might find yourself really struggling to be on top!

You can also choose to play against bots if you don’t want to play against people, but it is worth noting that the bots will often allow you to win - so there isn’t much challenge there at all. Races take place against people playing on console, mobile and PC, showcasing what device they are on. When you play, you can pick from a few anime-styled, adorable characters, pick your vehicle, customize specific aspects of it, and even pick different animations based on if you win or lose. KartRider: Drift is a cross platform racing game, with a bunch of different modes and cute characters that you can choose from. KartRider: Drift is a racing game that stands on its own, through being polished, well-made, and having great cross compatibility. Some rely on being super realistic, some rely on the types of cars or characters featured in the game, and others are doing something new and different. There are tons and tons of different racing games on the market.
