About Go Kart Island
Go Kart Island brings open world kart racing, with a story mode, to the original Nintendo Switch on 9 January 2026! In the story mode, Lachlan the highland cow dreams of becoming Go Kart Champion by winning the BIG RACE, but the Island’s corrupt Mayor demands you raise 1,000 coins for an “entry fee”. Use items, driftslide and boost your way through various events including races, time trials and more!
- A full story mode with 34 different events and 150+ collectables to find in the open world.
- Events include six variations of races, time trials, chases, finding items, and delivering items.
- Giraffes? Turtles? SHEEP? We’ve got ‘em all. 32 different animals to chat with, race against, and unlock!
- Aim for the gold trophy in 84 challenges, adding a new twist and replayability to events completed in story mode.
- A variety of items to use on opponents and obstacles to avoid.
- Fully honkable kart horn. HONK!
Players can try the game before they buy, with the first nine events of Story Mode available in the demo. The demo is out now on Steam and will take part in October’s Next Fest.
