About

A kart racer for the NES built in the style of Super Mario Kart. Made for the NESDev Compo 2022.

This game is a work in progress, with several features not implemented yet to make a full kart racing game:

  • CPU opponents or multiplayer
  • Power-ups / collectibles
  • Multiple levels

The game currently features "Mode 7"-lite graphics on the NES, a driveable track, and wall-based obstacles. Expect some graphical glitches and imprecise collision detection. Updates will be shared to this NESDev Compo Forum.

Controls: Left and right to rotate, A to accelerate.

Requirements: Works on a real NES, with a flash cart that supports Action 53 ROMs. Emulators FCEUX and Mesen work with this demo, other emulators may have issues with IRQs.

Updates:

  • 879cbea — Initial upload, temporarily using Mapper 34. Features a playable track, different terrain speeds, but no collision detection yet. Graphical glitches when rendering near the horizon and out-of-bounds graphics render garbage.
