Play Nicktoon's Racing Online

Nicktoons Racing came out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, developed by Tiertex and published by THQ. It was one of those licensed kart racers that felt right at home on the handheld, joining a crowded field of colorful, character-driven games aimed at kids who grew up watching Nickelodeon.

You pick a racer like SpongeBob or Tommy Pickens and compete on tracks inspired by the shows, using items and power-ups to knock opponents off course or gain temporary speed. The main goal is straightforward: win cups by finishing first across several themed circuits. The controls are simple, with a drift mechanic for sharper turns and a boost that builds up from skillful driving. It’s not a difficult game, but the unpredictable items and narrow tracks keep things lively. Playing it feels like a chaotic, slightly janky cartoon party in your hands.
