Turbo Kart (极速卡丁) is a free, semi-3D kart racing game that runs in the browser on phones, tablets and desktops, with nothing to download. Race seven CPU drivers in a Grand Prix or a three-race cup, chase a verified time-trial leaderboard, or open a room and race up to seven friends live.
Play nowFAQYou against seven CPU drivers over three laps with item boxes. Classes are 50cc (beginner), 100cc (intermediate) and 150cc (expert): higher classes are faster and the CPUs race harder. Trailing CPUs speed up slightly and leaders ease off, so races stay close.
Three races in a row — Sunny Meadow → Canyon Run → Neon City — with points for every finish (15 / 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2 / 1 with eight racers). Total points decide the podium; ties go to most wins, then most second places. Your best finishing position per class is remembered.
Alone on the track at 150cc with three boosts and no item boxes. Race your personal-best ghost, the leader's ghost or a friend's ghost, with split times showing whether you are ahead or behind.
Two to eight players race live in one room, as a single race or a cup. See online races.
On first launch an optional ~45-second ride teaches cornering, drifting, charging sparks and releasing the boost. Replay it any time from Settings → Controls.
Keyboard, standard gamepads (Xbox / PlayStation layouts) and touch all work; the game switches to whatever you used last.
| Action | Keyboard | Gamepad | Touch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steer | ← → or A D | left stick / d-pad | drag pad or arrow buttons |
| Accelerate | ↑ or W | A / RT | auto-accelerate (setting) or Gas |
| Brake / reverse | ↓ or S | B / LT | Brake |
| Drift | Space or Shift | RB / X | Drift (hold, or tap mode in settings) |
| Use item | X E or Ctrl | LB / Y | Item |
| Swap to reserve item | Q or C | d-pad up / View | Swap (up-left of Item) |
| Pause | Esc or P | Start | pause button, top right |
A kart stuck against a barrier for 3 seconds, or driving the wrong way for 4, is put back on the centre line with 1.5 seconds of protection.
Driving through an item box gives a random item. The further back you are, the more likely boosts and triple boosts become; the middle of the pack sees more homing shells and the leader mostly gets bananas. Boxes reappear 2.5 seconds after being taken.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Boost / triple boost | a 1.3-second boost per use; a triple boost can be used three times |
| Banana | dropped behind you; whoever touches it spins out |
| Homing shell | races along the track and homes in on the next kart ahead |
Two item slots: you can hold two items — the equipped one and a reserve. A new item fills the equipped slot first, then the reserve; with both full a box still breaks but gives nothing. Swap between them at any time, and when the equipped item runs out the reserve moves up by itself. The equipped item is shown top left, with the reserve in the small slot beside it.
A hit spins you out for 1.1 seconds, followed by 1.8 seconds of protection.
Eight drivers with different strengths (each stat 1–5, every driver has the same total).
| Driver | Speed | Accel. | Handling | Weight | Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blaze 烈焰 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | balanced, leaning to speed |
| Pip 小芽 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 1 | quickest off the line, lightest |
| Volt 闪电 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | acceleration |
| Tank 铁墩 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 5 | fastest and heaviest, wins collisions |
| Mochi 麻薯 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 2 | best handling, good for beginners |
| Shade 夜影 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 4 | speed and handling |
| Rusty 锈锈 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 3 | strong on straights |
| Frost 冰晶 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | balanced, leaning to handling |
Each track runs three laps by default; cups race them in the order above.
A time-trial run uploads its full input replay, and the server re-runs it through the same physics simulation to check the time, so every time on the board was really driven. Only signed-in players appear on the leaderboard; sign in with a one-time email code (no password) or a Google account.
Installed, it runs full screen without an address bar, which matters in landscape. After the first visit, Grand Prix, cups and time trials keep working without a connection or during server updates, and the home screen shows the connection state. Graphics have Auto / Low / Medium / High presets plus a 30 fps battery saver.
It is free and needs no download: open kart.liuzhaohan.com and play. For full screen without an address bar, add it to your home screen to install it as an app.
Yes. It runs in the browser on iPhone, iPad and Android phones; landscape works best. Touch steering uses a drag pad or arrow buttons, and auto-accelerate can be turned on.
Tap Online battle on the home screen, create a room and send the 6-character room code or the invite link. A room holds 2 to 8 players and nobody needs an account; the host picks the track, class, laps, items and a single race or a cup.
At speed, steer and hold the drift button (Space or Shift, RB or X on a gamepad, the Drift button on touch). After 1, 2 and 3 seconds blue, orange and purple sparks appear; let go for a 0.6, 1.1 or 1.7 second boost. The drift follows the curve of the bend by itself.
Yes. After your first visit, Grand Prix, cups and time trials keep working without a connection or while the server is being updated, and records are kept on your device. Leaderboards, friends and online races need a connection.
Every run uploads its full input replay and the server re-simulates it to compute the time, so forged times are rejected. Only signed-in players appear on the leaderboard.
