Testosterone Karting

Karting may seem like a sport for children, and in many regards it is, but that doesn’t make it any less important. In fact, karting is more of a stepping stone than anything else, because it allows children to get acquainted with the racing concept and transfer their skills when they move onto something more serious once they reach the required age.

Testosterone Karting is a funny little video game sporting pretty interesting gameplay mechanics and a steep difficulty curve to climb. In essence, the whole idea is that you have to win karting races, with the minor addition that the drivers are actually huge guys with bodybuilder physiques. This doesn’t really affect the racing aspect, so it’s mostly there to lighten the mood.
You can start a career and compete for points, and you automatically make it to the next round even if you come in last at the end of every race. In essence, it’s all about who has the most points at the end of the tournament, much like in a real competition. There are multiple characters to choose from, but their speed and agility on the track are the same.

Watch out for traps and pick up power-ups

Just like in a classic racing game, you can pick up various power-ups to use throughout the race, such as dropping oil on the track to cause your opponents to spin and slow down. There are other traps as well, so it’s important to look ahead whenever you are tailing other players. On top of that, the karts are pretty difficult to control as well, since you really have to brake in order to negotiate turns.
As for the graphics, they are designed to look as retro as possible, which is great if you are a fan of SNES games from that era. On the other hand, it may not please more modern gamers, given the fact that you can easily implement 3D graphics nowadays. Even so, the experience is what matters, and Testosterone Karting is quite polished in this regard.

Put your patience to the test

All things considered, Testosterone Karting is less silly than it looks at first, especially when it comes to the gameplay mechanics. Thus, it can prove to be quite challenging, at least if you want to win races and get to the finish line in one piece.
