Instructions[]
The game begins by allowing the player to choose either "Single Race" mode or "Tournament" mode. Single Race mode lets the player first choose from four racetracks: Bikini Bottom from the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, Central Park Zoo from the The Penguins of Madagascar universe, iCarly's Studio from the titular series, and Paradise Bluffs from the Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures universe. Afterward, the player must choose from five currently playable teams: Aang & Momo in the Glider Kart, SpongeBob & Patrick in the Speed Demon & Patty Wagon in the movie, the Penguins of Madagascar in the Toy Buggy, Carly & Spencer in the Muscle Car, or Bucket & Skinner in the Beach Buggy. Each car has its own strengths and weaknesses in either acceleration, cornering, or speed. The stats for each race car available at the beginning of the game are:
A basic layout of acceleration, cornering, and speed is exemplified in the statistics for Aang and Momo's Glider Kart.
- Glider Kart – Average acceleration, above average cornering, above average speed
- Speed Demon – Average acceleration, average cornering, above average speed
- Toy Buggy – Average acceleration, above average cornering, below average speed
- Muscle Car – Average acceleration, below average cornering, above average speed
- Beach Buggy – Average acceleration, above average cornering, average speed
- Patty Wagon – Average acceleration, above average cornering, average speed
Once the Single Race mode has actually begun, three opposing race cars are pitted against the player's in a race around three laps. A variety of present boxes are scattered about the track, and when a character's race car hits one, the power-up that was inside becomes employable. The power-up that the character gets is entirely random; some power-ups include a sped-up race car through flaming wheels, a puddle of water that causes enemies to slip, and a miniature rocket that explodes upon contact with an opponent's race car, among other helpers. One should not be fooled by black-colored present boxes — these are placed by the game to trick the player into hitting it. When contact has been made with it, a black present box stops the race car for a moment.
Tournament mode[]
Tournament mode involves playing in the Revolution Cup. The Revolution Cup is a three-course tournament between four cars, including the player's, in which the characters race against each other in back-to-back races of the Paradise Bluffs, Bikini Bottom, and Central Park Zoo racetracks. Each individual race of the tournament adds points to any character's current total: first places scores five points, second place scores three points, third places scores one point, and fourth place scores zero points. Whichever team has the most points at the end of the three races wins the tournament.
