Madagascar Kartz

About

Madagascar Kartz is a go-kart racing game featuring characters from the DreamWorks Animated Madagascar movies. Players race as Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melman, King Julien, the penguins, and more across tracks inspired by the films. The game includes standard kart mechanics like jumps, rolls, and item collection. Single-player and split-screen modes let you compete in Quick Races, time trials, or point-scoring Checkpoint races. Progress through speed classes by winning Championship events, unlocking faster karts and reversed Mirror Mode tracks. The Wii version adds an exclusive Madagascar-themed racing wheel. The game stands out for mixing franchise favorites with odd crossovers like Shrek and B.O.B. from other DreamWorks titles. Community reviews note the simple but polished gameplay feels familiar yet distinct from Mario Kart, with 2009 critic scores averaging 72% on Metacritic. While not impressive, it offers solid local multiplayer and a lighthearted take on the kart genre. Available on PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, it’s a quick pick for fans of the films or casual racing.
