Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "It would have been a much better game if MPS Labs would have committed to the arcade quality and thrown in a few power-ups to supercharge your kart along the way. At the very least, it would have made things interesting." [1]
