Jungle Kartz is an exhilarating arcade racing game where all the action takes place on a tropical island. With eight challenging environments covering 32 monster tracks including Tropic Bay, Rift River Valley, Ra Desert and more, it’s a frantic race to the finish line. Take to the road and race as eight fun-loving animal characters, each with a unique special track advantage, including Sass the Tigress, Gus the Gorilla, Rocky the Coyote and many more.

Each element of the game has been uniquely crafted so that players can choose a character and kart that suits their driving style. Vehicles range from light rapid karts to big powerful speed machines. Players are offered an abundance of power ups to throw in their opponent’s way, which adds to the challenge - as you utilise the speed boost, time warp, guns, rockets, spider webs, ice puddles and more. Each obstruction presents players with a heightened challenge. Can you compete and make it to the finish line first?
