Nitro Adventure Racers

Nitro Adventure Racers is a kart racing game developed by Team 50cc and published by Noxid Computers. It was released for the Noxid Series One game console. It is also one of the system's best-selling games, too.

Setting
The game takes place in Nitro Race World, a hub-and-spoke theme park situated on the artificially-created Isle of Racers somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, with emphasis on blood-pumping, power-up-using, high-octane kart racing. In this park, people would compete using customizable go-karts on the tracks or in the battle arenas. Of course, Nitro Race World also has the usual theme park wares, like video arcades, ticket booths, a food court, restroom areas, park rides (i.e. rollercoasters, a ferris wheel, etc.), a tour bus, skill game kiosks, first aid area, and a garage where racers can maintain and customize their karts.

However, Nitro Race World's most famous attraction is the Nitro Adventure Racers World Cup, where the best racers from across the globe compete through the park's gauntlet of twenty race tracks to win the title of Adventure Racer Supreme. The twenty tracks and four battle arenas are allocated into groups of five, each in a different themed "Land".

The first Land is The Stadium, featuring circuit-style tracks with no special gimmicks, and a relatively basic battle arena with just the right balance between hiding places and open spaces.

Second is Pirate Island, boasting challenging, scenic tracks with the motif of the 17th Century sea plunderers, and a battle arena with an out-of-bounds pirate ship occasionally firing on the contestants.

Keep your cool in the third Land, Haunted Hi-Jinks, featuring spooky tracks with hidden surprises and terrifying scares, along with a battle arena designed to test the wits of even the bravest drivers.

The forth Land in Nitro Race World's gauntlet is Turbocharger Galaxy, with space-themed race tracks of cosmic proportion and excitement, along with a battle arena so wide that there's no place to hide (corny rhyme, isn't it?).

However, there is one more track, referred to jokingly as "Trackzilla", created specifically for the final race of the Nitro Adventure Racers World Cup, combining the best of all four Lands into one, ultra-scenic, super-challenging, and mega-exciting package.

Single Player modes

 * Adventure Mode: Explore the park, and compete your way to the top of the rankings to race in the Nitro Adventure Racers World Cup. In this mode, there is a currency, Turbo Coins, that can be earned after a race, time trial, arena battle, or the mini-games at the video arcades, that can be used in the garage to purchase parts to upgrade your kart.
 * Single Race: Go up against your opponents in a 3-, 5-, or 7-lap race on one of the tracks, in one of three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, or Hard)
 * Cup Race: Race against your opponents in a small gauntlet of four tracks. Earn the most points at the end of the cup to win.
 * Time Trial: Go solo and work fast to break the tracks' time records.
 * Battle Arena: Mix it up with three other racers in one of the arenas, and try to get more kills than they do within the time limit.

Multi-Player modes

 * Single Race: Go up against three other human players in a no-holds-barred 3-, 5-, or 7-lap race on one of the tracks, and show them what you're made of!
 * Cup Race: Race against your friends in a four-race extravaganza, and you'd best earn more points than they do by the end of the cup, or you'll be eating dust (A LOT OF IT!).
 * Battle Arena: Spice things up in the battle arenas with your friends, and kill more than they do within the time limit.
