About
Following on from the hugely successful Super Karts and Manic Karts games, Formula Karts Special Edition sits you in a motorized sled which is capable of propelling you around 9 miniature race circuits at speeds over 70 mph. Now this may not sound particularly hair-raising but considering that your butt is only six inches from the track surface then only the brave and insane should apply. Championship is all about completing the race in the highest possible position. The further up field you finish, the more points awarded. This mode is more of a simulation where clipping too many corners and colliding with opponents vehicles will drastically affect the handling of your kart. Arcade has a few nice additional touches. You begin the season with three 'lives'. Complete each race inside the top three and you will progress onto the next race. Fail and a life is lost. In Arcade mode you initially begin each race with 3 Turbos and 3 Supergrips which can be activated at any point in the race.
