SRB2Kart is a kart racing mod based on the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2, based on a modified version of Doom Legacy.

SRB2Kart is a project created by the Kart Krew, it features dozens of tracks across racing and battle modes, some fun power-ups and a drifting system. It also has a neat little in-game manual that explains most of its tricks and secrets.

Features

  • Full online support.
  • Full mouse/keyboard support.
  • Full software keyboard support.

Installation

Make sure your Switch can run homebrew.

To install:

  • Extract the contents of the zip to the root of your SD card.
  • Then start SRB2 via hbmenu (or whatever method you prefer).
  • If you are updating from an older version, extract the contents of the update patch to the root of your SD card. Overwrite any files that might conflict.

Note: This game requires full RAM access. This means youcannot launch hbmenu from the Album Applet when running this. With the latest Atmosphere build and its default config, you can hold R while starting any game to open hbmenu with full RAM access.

User guide

Notes

  • A kartconfig.cfg is included that sets the resolution to 800x450 by default. It doesn't really do anything else so you can leave it out if you'd like.
  • Without a config file, the game's default resolution is 320x200. It is recommended setting it to 800x450 for the best balance of performance and visuals.
  • The game takes a bit to boot. A faster SD card may help with this.
  • The game continues to run while on the Switch's home screen when you are unable to pause to prevent lag-switching.
  • If you want to play the game with mouse/keyboard, you'll have to bind most of the buttons yourself.
  • All button bindings are set to match the Xbox controller layout (Xbox A > Switch B, Xbox X > Switch Y, etc.)

  • This will likely be the final release in the 1.x line for SRB2Kart. I'm moving to GitHub for releases and changelogs to make things a bit tidier.
