Smash Karts takes everything fun about kart racers and cranks it up by letting you blast your opponents with weapons. It's not enough to just drive fast—you need to grab power-ups, time your attacks, and survive the chaos while still trying to cross the finish line first. Pure mayhem on wheels.
The maps are compact arenas filled with boxes containing random weapons. You might get a rocket launcher, mines, or a machine gun. Luck plays a role, but smart players know when to grab boxes and when to focus on racing. Sometimes hanging back in third place gets you better weapons than leading the pack.
WASD or arrow keys control your kart. Space bar triggers your current weapon. That's really it—simple controls let you focus on the actual racing and combat. The karts handle arcadey and responsive, so you can drift around corners while lining up shots.
Each match throws you into a small arena with other players. Race laps while collecting weapons from boxes scattered around the track. Hit opponents to slow them down or knock them off course. First to complete all laps wins, but you can still place high by taking out the competition.
Don't tunnel vision on first place. Sometimes the leader is actually the easiest target because everyone else is shooting at them too. Hang around second or third, let others waste their ammo on each other, then make your move on the final lap.
Save your best weapons. If you get a rocket or something powerful, don't waste it on someone in last place. Wait until you can knock the leader back or defend yourself when you're in front. And always grab boxes even if you have a weapon—denying them to others is just as valuable.
