*It's actually Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing but still, its going to be Shrektacular

This isn’t DreamWorks’ first foray into kart racing by a long shot. DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing stands on the shoulders of 2006’s Shrek Smash n’ Crash Racing, 2009’s Madagascar Kartz, and 2011’s DreamWorks Super Star Kartz, all of which featured a raceable Shrek.

You can not escape Kart Shrek

e.n.: While the enthusiasm for this announcement is mostly farcical, the Kart genre is really apropos for random mashups of properties so this at least has the potential for being a blast regardless of being a massively licensed title, depending on its development

Hope they work out with the original voice actors and actresses to bring them on the project. The Nickelodeon fighting game felt really flat because they didn't had any voice acting.

I thought they added some later. I mean, Garfield was Frank Welker and not Lorenzo Music the way he should be, but Lorenzo's been dead for a while, so you take what you can get.

I can't imagine them getting stars like Will Smith, Ben Stiller, and Jerry Seinfeld for this project, so they'd have to use sound-alikes anyway.

Play as all your favorite store brand copies of Disney/Pixar characters, including the Woody Allen ant, the Will Smith fish, and the Zoolander lion!

Oh my god the protags of dw worst movies should be the antagonists of story mode, trying to conquer dw by winning the race and become the next ceo just to force another movie of their shitty ip.

Imagine will smith fish saying midrace "if i win, my movie is gonna reference among us. And covid 19." And his victory dance is him flossing.

Not even going to mention Madagascar Kartz, which also had Shrek and B.O.B. from Monsters vs Aliens?
