DreamWorks Super Star Kartz

Gameplay is typical of kart racers, with instant boosts from the starting line, numerous weapons, jumps, and cartoon characters on small go-karts. Each character has a specific special move, known as a Star Move, that can be activated once five stars are collected around the track. Many items can be thrown forward or shot backward behind the player, and several items come in sets of one or three.

The game features various modes, including Circuit Race with cups containing tracks from across Dreamworks properties. Medals are awarded depending on performance and place when crossing the finish line. Other modes include Time Trials, Battle Mode, and Challenge Mode, which feature specific challenges such as races with only Star Moves or straight racing without weapons or items.
