What is HopKart?
HopKart is a full-throttle kart racer. Up to 12 friends race together in one lobby, and CPU racers fill out a grid of up to 24 karts.
Drifting charges blue, orange and purple mini-turbos, and the tracks are full of grind rails, walls to ride and ramps to glide off. Items run from peels and homing shells to the Leader Hunter.
There are three big tracks: Coral Cove, Summit Station and Neon Harbor. Race single events or a points Grand Prix, with a keyboard, a controller or touch controls.
