A fan-made sequel to the awesome (and also fan-made) Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart has officially launched today, under the name 'Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers'. You can download the game right now for Windows and Mac devices on the official Kart Krew developer website.
Pitched as an official sequel to SRB2 Kart - which itself was a go-karting modification of the classic fan-game Sonic Robo Blast 2 - Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers has been in development for over five years and includes a HUGE range of new features that greatly expands the experience over its predecessor. Such features include (from the website):
- A ludicrously long list of courses and playable characters
- A complete Grand Prix mode with CPU opponents and multiple difficulty levels
- New and revamped items
- Unique game systems and mechanics
- Local split-screen multiplayer up to 4 players, and online play up to 16
- A comprehensive Time Attack mode with replay support
- A wealth of secrets to find
You can watch an announcement trailer above to get a sense of the vibe - we really dig the retro 90s aesthetic!
In a statement on its website, the Kart Krew development team wrote:
QuoteDr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers has been a tireless effort by the Kart Krew Dev team, and additionally comprises the work of many more independent contributors across the SRB2Kart, Sonic Robo Blast 2, Doom Legacy and broader Doom communities. We want to issue a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has made this project possible, spanning back over 30 years to Doom’s December 1993 release.
Thousands of hours of work—from the core development team, our dedicated tester team, the SRB2 development team, community contributors, independent musicians, and our volunteer moderators across the various community hubs—have culminated in this artifact of passion and dedication.
The meticulously crafted pixel and 3D art, catchy music and sounds, elaborate level design, and tightly tuned gameplay all come together into a complete product we are immensely proud to present to you, entirely for free.
I personally can't wait to play it (once I get Knuckles Week out of the way!). Let us know if you've downloaded it and played it yet, and what you think of the herculean effort of the development team, in the comments section below.
