kart racer
Small-track speed driver
A kart racer is a video game genre featuring small, cartoonish vehicles competing on whimsical tracks with power-ups and obstacles. *Mario Kart* established the template: accessible controls, items that can reverse fortunes, and chaotic multiplayer.
The term also describes someone who races go-karts competitively, though the gaming sense dominates casual usage.
