Among the roster of racers, Bentley Bear from Crystal Castles (1983) is a playable character. Unlike Super Mario Kart, there are no time trial or battle modes present. When selecting a character, another player can join at any given time. The players take control of one of seven characters available at the start of the game, each with differing capabilities, and drive karts around tracks from a third-person perspective behind the player's kart. Before each race, a traffic light will appear to start countdown and the race begins when the light turns green. In 2022, the game was included as part of the Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration compilation.Ītari Karts is a kart racing game similar to Super Mario Kart featuring single-player and multiplayer modes, where the main goal is to finish a race ahead of other racers controlled by the computer and other players. Miracle Designs began development on a sequel after release but never moved forward beyond the planning phase, however, Merlin Racing (2000) for Nuon is considered a spiritual successor to the game. Impressed with the demo, Atari decided to make a game with a 'cutesy' atmosphere by combining F-Zero and Super Mario Kart, suggesting the usage of Bentley Bear and other Atari characters that did not make it into the final release.Ītari Karts garnered mixed reception from critics, all of which accused it for being a Mario Kart knock-off. It plays similarly to Super Mario Kart and features Bentley Bear, main protagonist of the arcade game Crystal Castles (1983).Ītari Karts started production when Belgian programmers Filip Hautekeete and Peter Vermeulen received a development kit for the Jaguar from Atari, creating a demo featuring an emulated interpretation of the Mode 7 graphics mode seen in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

During races, the players can obtain power-ups placed at predetermined points in the tracks and use them to gain an advantage. One or two players race against computer-controlled characters in four cups consisting of multiple tracks over four difficulty levels. In the game, the player takes control of one of eleven characters though only seven are available at first, each with differing capabilities.
