Top-down racing game based on SRB2Kart
Controls (on TIC-80 gamepad, check "setup gamepad" in TIC-80 options to see keyboard binds):
A - Accelerate
B - Drift
X - Brake/drive backwards
Y - Use item
Left/Right - Steering
Up/Down - Item aiming, some items behave differently depending on it, bananas can be thrown forward for example
Also you can enable auto acceleration in settings, might be helpful on phones. You'd still need to time accel button press for start boost tho
Updates:
* 2025-06-26
- New map: Lava Reef
- Attempt to fix bots "giving up" sometimes
- Bots now have a small "pity" boost if drifting is disabled on map, to compensate that
* 2025-06-27
- New map: Verdant Ruins Zone
- All other maps now have "Zone" in name too
- Fixed intermission highlight color being wrong (skincolor index was used instead of actual palette index)
* 2025-06-29
- Add unlockable "Hell Maps"! To unlock them, you need to get record attack medals on all non-hell maps. There are no exact plans for hell maps yet but they are supposed to be maps with gameplay that slightly differs from regular maps
- New hell map: ??? (Inspired by same map in SRB2Kart by Spee)
- Some parts of object and checkpoint code now support map wrapping around, was implemented for the new map
* 2025-07-02
- Initial music support (rn there's only 1 track for green hills. Music is disabled by default, can be enabled in settings. Enabling it will reserve 2 out of 4 sound channels for music)
- New map: Egg Rock Zone (from SRB2)
- New hell map: ??? (from DRRR)
* 2025-07-05
- Added character icons, which are displayed in intermission and mini-rankings. Thanks bhgdev for suggestion!
- Mini-rankings allowed to notice an oversight in checkpoint system, which caused item roulette to roll wrong items sometimes (catch-up items for 1st for example). This is fixed now
* 2025-07-08
- Last place in match race now gets eliminated, with effect similar to explosion in ring racers. Also in general, all explosions now have a sound
- Rubberbanding for bots gets weaker near end of race, to avoid situations where they overtake you with rubberband boost without a chance to catch up
- Using "RETRY" option in game menu now does a quicker "fade"
- Improvements to music system, added tracks (WIP) for main menu, intermission/level select (they share 1 track), and one of hell maps, tho music remains (and probably will remain) disabled by default
- Function for drawing rotated sprites has been optimized, now it doesn't create bunch of matrices each time its called which should improve performance (hopefully should fix occasional stutters, which i personally been getting sometimes)
* 2025-07-09
I don't think i'll be updating game much more, for some time at least, so this is somewhat release update!
- Buffed bot rubberbanding at last lap back a little, so they don't slow down too much especially on hard difficulty (now rubberbanding can get reduced at most to 25% of its strength, used to be 0%)
- Bots are now bit smarter in terms of using items - on hard difficulty they will throw bananas and eggboxes forward if player is in front, or throw orbinauts backwards when player is behind. Also, they throw orbi's backward on all difficulties if they're in 1st place (since it makes no sense to throw them forward in 1st anyway)
- All maps now have "recommended" bot list, so that they are more challenging (so for example on maps with a lot of turns you won't get sonic or metal sonic as opponents)
- With all that, match race now has medals to win! Silver medal for 2nd/1st place on normal/hard difficulty, gold medal for 1st place on normal/hard, and platinum medal for 1st place on hard difficulty (currently, they don't do anything, maybe will add more unlockables for them at some point)
- Item box respawn time has been reduced from 5 seconds to 1 (skipping them is too annoying and may be unforgiving if you are in last place)
- Added spinout indication for minirankings (inspired by MiniRankingsPlus SRB2Kart mod)
- Added new music track for Sunny Islands Zone, also changed menu theme a bit
- Added proper scrolling credits :3

Pretty Cool. One suggestion would be to add an overlay maybe with Sonic and co. so you can tell this is a Sonic Kart Racing game. Just my opinion though.
