"For a GBA racing game, this isn't that bad"

Story
A krazy world in space has been flooded with go-carts and everyone loves them. Konami Man sends out an invitation to a bunch of Konami characters to enter a go-cart contest. It's isn't very good but I guess it's better than nothing. I give story a 1/10

Control
The control is very simple but your hand cramps up cause of the button layout. Doing all the stuff is easy and doesn't take more than a few minutes to get use to it. I give control a 10/10

Voice Acting, Sound Effects and Music
The voice acting which is only used every now and then in races, is only in Japanese. I would have liked English voices so i could understand them but oh well. The sound effects are decent but some sounds aren't even in the game, like the sound of you smacking into a tree. Of course the sound might be there but the music is sorta loud. The music is really good and catchy, I was even humming the songs without realizing it. I give voice acting, sound effects and music a 8/10

Gameplay
Race around tracks on go=carts. There is the main tournament cups where you race on four different tracks and once you win you get a cup and you unlock a new drivers test. There are three drivers test and they are pretty hard if you don't know the tracks well but they aren't super hard like the tests in the Gran Turismo series. There are a total of 16 tracks which is a good amount but most of the are just part 2 of other tracks. There is a battle mode which has a game of bomb tag where you tag someone if you have the bomb and try not to get it stuck on you and have the time runout. The other battle mode is chicken, which isn't a very good title. You race to the end of a track but you try not to fall off. The bomb tag one is pretty fun but chicken isn't fun. The problem with these is that there are only 4 tracks for the battle stages. I give gameplay a 8/10

Replay Value
It's very easy to beat the game, took me about a hour or so but there are a good amount of secrets and they take some time to find if you don't know where to look. Multiplayer is fun but it isn't as fun as the multiplayer in other g-cart games. I give replay value a 5/10

Final Score
I give Konami Krazy Racers a 8/10
