Pixel Dash Item Kart – free online racing game
Top-down item kart racing: you and three bots race three laps on three tracks, grabbing boost, banana and homing-missile items. Double items on the last lap.
How to play
Your kart accelerates by itself. Steer left and right with the arrow keys, A and D, a gamepad stick or the on-screen stick, and press down to brake. Drive through the purple item boxes to get a boost, a banana peel or a homing missile, and press the action key (Shift, X or the round button) to use it. Yellow arrow pads give a short speed burst. Leaving the road slows you down. Item hits spin rivals out. Items are double on the last lap. First kart to finish three laps wins; points come from your place plus item hits. Signed-in players' results appear on a leaderboard; scores are reported by your browser and only sanity-checked by the server.
