Gameplay

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix features a selection of 30 playable characters, consisting of real-life actress JoJo Siwa and characters from 12 different Nicktoons. 29 courses, some remastered from its predecessor, and 2 arenas based on different locations from the shows are included in the game. There are also 70 non-playable pit crew characters, three of which can be equipped to racers at a time to give them additional abilities.

The game supports local multiplayer for up to four players, as well as online multiplayer for up to eight players, a feature that was not in its predecessor.[1] The karts can be customized, and power-ups can be picked up from the courses. The kart body is determined based on the player's chosen character.
