Cel Damage HD is, unsurprisingly, a HD version of said game, Now, some of you might remember Cel Damage from back in the Xbox days. With an easy-to-follow-tutorial, multiplayer, and career modes to tackle, you’ll get going on Race with Ryan in no time! If you’re not used to racing, then auto-accelerate is a nice touch, and the collecting element to the levels adds an extra touch that I liked.

I suppose that’s unsurprising considering that this is one of the main alternatives to Mario Kart and a title that you’ll definitely be seeing further down this list. In graphical design, however, the courses look a lot more like Crash Team Racing. In terms of gameplay, it definitely feels like Mario Kart, with players using weird and wonderful racers as they move through wacky tracks. It is a lot better if you know a lot about Ryan and his world, but the game itself is pretty enjoyable regardless. I’ll be honest, I had to do my homework before doing this article. Now, unless you’re one of the 34.9 million people that watch Ryan’s World, then you probably won’t have a clue what’s going on here. Race With Ryan is up next, a game based on the the adventures of Ryan from the Ryan’s World YouTube Channel. There’s lots more obstacles strewn across the track to watch out for than in Mario Kart too, with players dodging rocks, ice, and other fallen objects. There are some nice ramps to jump off in this game too getting air is just a cool way of passing your opponents, and you might even smash through a part of the track as you land! In a cool nod to Diddy Kong Racing, players can use boats as well as karts. There are 20 tracks to race around and 16 animal racers to get to grips with. The cartoon graphics remind me a lot of Mario Kart Wii, though you can tell the karts aren’t as well thought out as the ones made by Ninty’s design team. I know that was a bit of an obvious statement considering the article title, but I’ll mix up the way I say ‘Mario Kart Clone’ through this article, don’t worry. Now, Renzo Racer didn’t get many amazing reviews back when it dropped in 2017, but if you’re in the karting game, then it certainly fills the bill of acting like Mario Kart.

Renzo Racer kickstarts this list of the best games like Mario Kart on PS4 and PS5!
