Personally I find the game poorly made but I am aware that it can appeal to less demanding players.
A sequel has been announced, wait for this one if you really want the game.
Playable from 1 to 4 players locally and online.
More information in our detailed test.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
A platform fighting game similar to Super Smash Bros Ultimate. You can play Raphael, Donatello and April O’Neil from TMNT.
I was so disappointed with the first one that I recommend being very careful with this one.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix
A game of go-kart with Nickelodeon characters. Obsolete, prefer the Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway described below instead.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway
A game of kart racing with Nickelodeon characters. The game has a low budget and any other Mario Kart, or Sonic Racing is better than that.
There are Nickelodeon Kart Racers 1 and 2 that you can also avoid.
Contains Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, Eastman and Laird, Raphael, and April as playable characters, as well as some TMNT tracks.
Reserved for big fans of Nickelodeon characters and at low prices.
Available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam, Epic)
Playable from 1 to 4 players locally and online.
Which Nickelodeon game to choose?
None. What? I need to develop my opinion? They are all pretty bad from a diligent and demanding gamer point of view. They are made to take money from parents whose children are fans of cartoons. If you want a good kart game, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is for you. If you want a good platformer fighting game playable with up to 8 players, it’s Super Smash Bros Ultimate or Brawlhalla.
If you really need the characters of Nickelodeon, take the latest versions of each series above, either the All-Star Brawl 2 or the Kart Racers 3, but at a low price, in the promotional bins of supermarkets.
