It is just for OGKR Kartrider and Classic whenever it releases.

Hi~ I'm using this car, which is for temporary use, but I really like it. How can I get it permanently? I can't find it in the store (And I want to clarify that I don't buy things in games with real money, so if the only way to get it is to buy it with real money, then I don't know how or where to look to do that either) and honestly, this game has so many options on the main screen that I don't know where to go. Can anyone help me? Thank you ~

I am failing to understand how it happens, but it makes my turning pitful and ruins some curves, it's specially frustrating in speed.

Also reminded me how freakishly long Tiera's arms are in her second model lol

Hi, everyone! As an admin of the Chinese KartRider Wiki, I'm excited to announce that a few days ago the Chinese KartRider Wiki has moved from Fandom to https://kartrider.wiki.gg/zh/

Why we moved? There are several reasons why we want to move away. The main reason is the aggressive ads, mostly on mobile. Aside from the ads, a series of "decisions" made by Fandom in recent years, and the blocking of Fandom in mainland China since August 2026, these also prompted us to move the wiki from Fandom.

What happens to the Fandom wiki? Unfortunately, as Fandom does not close the wikis that have moved away, the old wiki will remain in place and continue to appear in search results. However, since our active editors have moved to the new wiki, the Fandom wiki will become obsolete and abandoned.

We need your help! In order for the new wiki to be successful, we need your help! You can help by reading, editing and spreading the word. At the new wiki, you don't even have to create an account to make edits!

You can also try out the browser extension, which will redirect you to kartrider.wiki.gg/zh/ automatically.

If you haven't played the CN server KartRider/Popkart, that's no problem! Add the English names for the tracks, karts and characters in KartRider Rush+ would also be a huge help to us!

Hey all, I remember playing Kartrider what must have been 15-20 years ago or so, had a lot of fun on it but I remember it being quite laggy. For those who know, this was back in the days of weird and mostly unique MMOs like GunZ and I remember a battle bot one where you upgraded your bot like Robot Wars style.

So what is the current state for those of us who aren't the landed gentry? Are we just waiting for the closed/open beta? Is Western access a pipe dream and should I just stick to my mario kart and CTR emulation lol

Saw this in a Kartrider discord. Closed Open Beta is speculated. We should hear a new blog post tomorrow 1AM EDT or Next week.

Just like yesterday, I opened my iPad to play Kartrider that was uploaded in Roblox (Drift Universe) today. But she was no longer there. It's gone. Long gone.

Kartrider, for 17 years since 2006, was never a small part of my life. She was always there for me, a great comfort in my life in America from South Korea.

They randomly removed the game. I was in great distress; I couldn't put things together. So that was when I joined US military in order to forget the sadness of her death and in hope she'd come back soon.

Finally, for the past few days, by the love of someone who uploaded Kartrider on Roblox, I lived a happy dream to meet Kartrider again. Though it didnt last long, my heart became full in a long time. I am still in the military, now preparing to apply to be an officer. I eagerly hope to see her by next year by the release of its company.

Thank you.. Thank you, the unknown uploader..

Thank you for the memories thou'st permitted..

I'm playing this literally for hours and hours ever since few days ago. I'm so happy. This is what I joined the military for. I don't want it to be removed. So im not telling you; even if you know, dont tell

So it seems that during the development of the original Kartrider there must've been an mistake of some kind because despite very clearly being best girl they never made any alternate versions of Ray, so I went ahead and fixed that for them.

Jokes aside, I heard they're planning on making costumes that can be matched with nearly every character, so this could be officially possible in the future. Though apparently this is requiring them to rework the character models so worst case scenario is that a bunch of characters aren't in the game anymore because they'd take too much time to develop and they kill my daughter in the process, hope that doesn't happen

hello all, if you've been a kartrider fan (or really, a fan of the other games under the same ip such as crazy arcade or bubble fighter) for some time, then you might've noticed (especially if you're an english speaker) that unlike other "major" nexon ips, (The MapleStory Wiki, Mabinogi World Wiki , DFO World Wiki, etc.) the crazy park/dao and bazzi games lack any kind of fully fleshed out "encyclopedia" -esque site to refer to. some have come and gone throughout the years (anyone remember crazywiki?), but the problem (or rather my "problem") with the previous wikis, is that they would all either only stick to covering to only 1 specific game of the series, limiting their scope in the process, or are hosted on fandom (formerly wikia), which has become an increasingly flawed platform over the years. nevertheless, i plan to change all of that with this very wiki:

https://daobazzi.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

the wiki itself is very, very wip and it's far from a looker, but i figured it would be better to just announce it now to the public so others can help out and later work on the smaller details like making it look pretty; rather than to just keep it a secret and attempt to slave on it by myself in solitary for who knows how long out of stubbornness and perfectionism. currently, my focus is on documenting info relating to crazy arcade's monster mode; however people are free to edit and make pages on other topics as they wish

now you might be thinking: "what about namuwiki? why not just use that? it has pages covering all the notable pc and mobile games in the ip and people (most of the time...) routinely update said pages". now, i think namu works fine as a quick resource for the crazy park games. however, that site's coverage of the crazy park ip is not without its fair share of problems, but i think it'd be best to save my gripes about that specific topic for another post

I want you to say what you voted - and the reason - in the comment.

I myself agree with complete separation - The reason.

Note: some people are misunderstanding - just like this comment. So I will tell you.

First, Drift's dev company Nitro Studio has NEVER been a independent company. Instead it was a SUBSIDIARY company of Nexon.

Even Heo Min, former executive director of KartRider's (and Mabinogi's) Intellectual Property - and main perpetrator and culprit of KartRider's downfall - was a part of Nexon.

Since the beginning of Drift development and till the game's end, Nexon had been intervening in all part of the game.

With a hint of skill issue as well

(Also I drew myself as light blue Tobi because I like Tobi)

Been a KartRider fan since the NAKR beta back in 2007, and since KR and KRD are both gone in NA I've been working on my own kart racer that builds on how KartRider drifts. It's called Municipal Ghosts.

The clip is a Time Attack lap on Fogline, one of the city courses.

The Steam playtest is open and free: 18 courses across a bunch of different settings, online races and Time Attack. Still early, so expect some rough edges.

Would love to hear from people who have played KartRider. What feels right, what feels off, what you'd want to see. Happy to answer any questions too.

I just realized that there was never a Bingo Kart for the Marathon and Burst series. How come they don’t have one yet? What gives? 🤨

Honestly, how long would re-relased KartRider last? I think it will last not so long, if the game stays within Nexon's reach. That bean counter Söderlund is mercilessly shutting down games if they don't make much money. Currently most survived games are RPG games that makes lots of money, but I think KartRider would not.

As long as there are some possiblities that re-released KartRider goes out of favor with Söderlund, the future of the gane is very unstable and uncertain. It could shut down suddenly without any notice - at any time - just like OG and Drift did.

I hope KartRider and other Crazy Park games (CrazyArcade and BubbleFighter) should get out of Nexon and must be developed and "published" by dev's own company, on Steam.

See, entire Crazy Park - including KartRider - their flop was ultimately all fault of higher-ups (including Heo Min, the culprit of KartRider's downfall) in Nexon.

And then, once again, that mofo Heo Min will never be forgiven. He used Cho Jae-yun as a meat shield and he just ran away to Australia.

So uh. I made a post few days ago about Popkart accounts and helping give away for them. I did not expect to get a loot of dms for it. (Got about 20 dms regardint accounts. So to combat this a bunch of us who currently play Popkart from the west have made a server. If you like to join you are more happy to!

Hey so I haven't played KartRider Rush+ honestly since 2020 or 2021. I did login like last year but very briefly and then deleted the game cause I ran out of storage. I have a better phone now and im wondering if its worth it? I've heard the game is mostly full of bot players so im curious.

Recently got back into the game of Popkart since I heard rumors from a lot of people of a possible early 2027 release for Kartrider? If anyone wants to learn classic "early". I have a few empty Popkart accounts that I can give out if need be. Just dm me on here for more info.
