Super Yooka-Laylee Kart is a precision-focused arcade racer built around rivalry, mastery, and revenge-fueled comebacks.
Yooka and Laylee return alongside a cast of fan-favourite friends and foes in a vibrant karting adventure spanning worlds old and new. Players can race through a replayable Story Campaign, challenge rivals online, dominate local multiplayer, or create custom races and tournaments designed for both fierce competition and outlandish fun.
