Watch this from across the room, or squinting, and you’ll think it’s Mario Kart. From the effects to the course design, it is literally Mario Kart Wii.
Only, it’s not. This is a Chinese game called Mole Kart, and as far as shameless Chinese knock-offs go, it’s right up there with Final Combat. Maybe even a little past it, what with the wholesale theft of entire levels.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 4:27 PMI actually recognise most of these tracks, they’re pretty much all minor reskins from several different Mario Kart games.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 4:32 PMIsn’t Mario Kart (insert version number here) just a reskin of itself to the nth degree?

Why is okay for non-nintendo companies to release the same product but not Nintendo (when they usually change more than all these other franchises). Never understood that.

Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 9:38 AMI don’t understand how the developers of these sorts of knock-off games think they’ll get away with blatantly stealing another game and not trying to pass it off as their own.
