The game features typical power-ups: shields, rockets, speed boosts, invincibility, and a Mario Kart-inspired blue shell-like item. Although it isn’t required to win races, a fun twist is that you can upgrade these power-ups by collecting fruits.

We love how each course offers a new mechanic with very little repetition.

Although it’s not a challenging platformer, this charming game shines at moments, making it worth playing.
