Overview

Skunny Kart is a kart racing game developed and published by Copysoft and released for the PC in 1993. Skunny Kart is the fifth game in the Skunny series of games, deviating from the platforming formula.

Gameplay

Skunny Kart plays much like Mario Kart for the SNES. The player races around the track trying to finish the race in first place. Along the way there are traps scattered around the tracks as well as some power ups. There are many sound effects used throughout Skunny Kart that have been taken from other licensed properties including: The Terminator, Bugs Bunny, and the Simpsons.
