You can join the community and start coding, making art, music, animations, designing new karts and tracks and bug testing.  They are looking for help adding new game modes, individualized physics for each kart, adding AI to battlemode and getting internet multiplayer working. They want to polish up the art style and make it more consistent and adding new sfx, textures, and models.

Whoa!
I'm all back in 1997, playing Mario Kart 64 for the first time. Anyone remember that feeling, too?

This is great!
Thank you for showing us that project, seriously.
My site! - Have a look :)

Yeah, I've been going through it unlocking levels. It's fun and open source so it'll keep get better. Maybe by 2029 it'll be like Mark Kart Double Dash. :wink:
