8.2 out of 10

Our verdict on Turbo Kart Islands

What we liked

  • Drift boosts feel great
  • 32 well-designed tracks
  • Local multiplayer
  • Regular free updates

What could be better

  • Item luck can decide races
  • Online lobbies are quiet at night

Turbo Kart Islands is a kart racer that gets the basics right: quick races, tight drifting and tracks full of secrets.

How it plays

Drifting through corners charges a boost, and learning when to start a drift is the main skill. The tracks hide shortcuts behind waterfalls and caves, and the new volcano island is the best set yet.

What could be better

Like most kart racers, items can turn a race at the last second, which can feel unfair. Online lobbies are also quieter outside peak hours.

Should you play it?

Yes. It is one of the best kart racers on Android, and local multiplayer makes it great for playing with friends.

See all
