Like both high-speed thrills and light-hearted family fun? Here are 5 fun and easy-to-play racing games with some of that Mario Kart magic…
All-Star Fruit Racing
The game for anyone who always makes sure they get their five-a-day. Anything goes in this fruity Mario Kart-like set on a paradise archipelago made up of giant coconuts and other outsized fruits. It’s super-easy to pick up and play, but you’ll need keen eyes and good reflexes at the wheel if you’re to avoid traps left by your competitors, find handy shortcuts, and make the best use of speed boosts.

Garfield Kart
A great introduction to racing games for younger players, it’s immediately accessible. You’ll find all of your favourite lazy tabby’s friends here in the game – Jon, Odie, Nermal and Arlene – as well as collect sweets, fire heat-seeking pies, get speed boosts from lasagne (Garfield’s favourite food), and swap places with a magic wand. Just make sure you don’t fall asleep at the wheel, drive over a booby-trapped package, or get attacked by a fleet of flying saucers! The only racing game playable by kids aged 6–7.

Toybox Turbos
This is a game that will bring back fun memories for fans of the iconic MicroMachines on the PlayStation. You can expect some crazy races between miniature cars (think Hot Wheels), where your main priority is to avoid getting knocked off the track by other cars from the toy box while racing through the kitchen or dining room, and make it across the finish line in one piece. To do so, you have an impressive selection of weaponry, from the mechanical hammer to mines and guided missiles. But please, try not to get your tyres burnt while racing across the stove! The rubber is hard to clean off.
