Safari Kart is clearly inspired by Mario Kart, but falls a bit short.
Safari Kart
If you're itching for some kart racing fun on iOS, then Safari Kart could be what you need if you don't have Mario Kart.
Watch the trailer
Pick your racer. Safari Kart has a total of eight racers that have their own stats. You start off with four of them from the start, and must unlock the rest. It's best to try out a few to find the best racer for your style.
Race to the finish line. With your racer, get to the finish line by the third lap before the rest! It's an intense battle, and make sure to use the power-ups to your advantage as you pass by the purple boxes.
Focus on the race. Safari Kart is a quirky kart racer, but it has a few flaws. One is a wonky physics engine that can result in more frustration than fun.
What is it about?
Visually, Safari Kart looks like an older Wii or PlayStation 2 title, due to the rough and jagged edges of the 3-D rendered objects and environments. The textures of the roads are also a bit dated, compared to other iOS games that are available. In general, Safari Kart’s graphics have a bit of a low-poly aesthetic, but personally, I just find that it adds to the charm of the game — these are karts, not exotic sports car racing we’re talking about. The color palette in Safari Kart has a nice range, as it features plenty of bold and vibrant hues as well as earthy tones, depending on the environment you’re racing through. Animations are fairly smooth and fluid, with no lag or choppiness on my iPhone 7. There’s an upbeat and eccentric soundtrack to go along with each track, and the sound effects are fun. While Safari Kart certainly doesn’t beat out other games in terms of graphics, I think the end result is decent enough for what it is — a quirky kart racer.
