There are many takes on the concept of racing, but the go-kart style is quite popular in terms of more humorous and colorful scenarios. You can get a sense of this if you play a few rounds of Smash Karts. This wacky 3D kart game is all about driving around arenas and trying to smash the other karts with creative driving and a heavy arsenal.
Updates: 2.3.0 Smash Karts Season 4: Dead End
Just in time for the spookiest part of the year, Smash Karts unleashes its Season 4 update, aptly titled "Dead End." Players can look forward to a terrifyingly fun array of new characters, from the Grim Reaper to Slimey and Pennywinkle. This season introduces the "Spooky Spinner," a mechanic guaranteed to dish out all-new Halloween-themed prizes every time you give it a spin. For those craving more intense action, the update offers a new max player feature, supporting 1v1 battles and extending the arena player count to an explosive 24 participants, although this feature is currently limited to private rooms. The hauntingly spectacular "Smash Stations" arena transports your battles to an intergalactic plane. Additional novelties include creepy kart colors, chilling toppers, a variety of hats, and spine-tingling celebrations. Prepare for a frightful season filled with smashing and scares!
How to play Smash Karts
Smash Karts is a driving game that has delegated most of the complex mechanics of driving to only a few buttons. It's compatible with both the keyboard and Xbox-style controller. These are the controls for both types:
Keyboard Controls
- W/Up Arrow: Move Forward
- A/Left Arrow: Turn Left
- D/Right Arrow: Turn Right
- S/Down Arrow: Brake/Reverse
- Spacebar: Use Weapon
X-Style Controls
- Left Analog: Turning
- RT: Accelerate

- A: Use Weapon
The goal of Smash Karts is dependent on the Game Mode, but the classic is Free For All. Simply put, drive into Loot Boxes to get weapons and then use them to eliminate the other karts. Your own health, time, and ranking are displayed at the top of the screen. Your current weapon will be displayed in the lower right corner.
Smash Karts Weapons
A key collectible in Smash Karts is weapons. You will get these by driving into Loot Boxes scattered around the arena. You can only have one weapon at a time, and you can't replace your current weapon until it's been used. There are three types of weapons:
- Offensive: These weapons are projectiles that can be launched from a distance
- Defensive: These weapons generate a force that protects your kart while damaging others
- Traps: These are weapons that can be strategically placed around the arena for other karts to drive into
Smash Karts Game Modes
