Gameplay
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix will feature a selection of 30 playable characters, consisting of real-life celebrity JoJo Siwa, and characters from 12 different Nicktoons: SpongeBob SquarePants, CatDog, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Loud House, Rugrats, Danny Phantom, Hey Arnold!, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, Ren & Stimpy, Invader Zim, and Rocko's Modern Life. 28 courses, some remastered from the original, and 2 arenas based on different locations from the shows will be included in the game. There will also be more than 70 bonus characters so players can assemble their "ultimate pit crew."
Like the original, it will have local multiplayer for up to four players, but it will also have online multiplayer for up to eight players, a feature that was not in the original.[2] The karts can be customized, and power-ups can be picked up from the courses.
