DreamWorks Super Star Kartz

There are instant boosts from the starting line, numerous weapons, jumps, and of course, cartoon characters on small go-karts.

Each character has a specific special move, known as a Star Move, that is activated once the player picks up five stars from around the track.

Many items can be thrown forward or shot backward behind the player, and several items come in sets of either one or three.

The weapons and items include banana peels, protection (as in a shield) potions, viking shields (which are defensive and can be thrown as projectiles), exploding pumpkins, rockets, hornet's nests, quantonium, and frog balloons.

Players can perform stunts when airborne, draft by driving behind opponent karts, and the classic kart-racer standard of drifting around turns.

As is standard with kart racers, the main focus of the game is the Circuit Race with several cups, each cup has three tracks with themes from across all the Dreamworks properties in the game.

Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals are awarded depending on performance and place when crossing the finish line.

Beyond the Circuit mode, there are Time Trials, a Battle Mode, and a Challenge Mode.

Challenge Mode features specific challenges such as a race with only Star Moves, or straight racing with no weapons or items.

There are also several dozen Dreamworks logos strewn throughout the game to be collected, some collected from Time Trials, other collected physically during races.

DreamWorks Super Star Kartz for Nintendo DS is currently worth €10.59 loose. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

DreamWorks Super Star Kartz has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of DreamWorks Super Star Kartz is currently worth €10.59 loose, versus €7.88 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
