SkyDrift is a Aerial Combat Arcade Racer, developed by Digital Reality, and published by Digital Reality Publishing. In single player or multiplayer events you take to the skies, competing to see who is the fastest, or the most deadly pilot. There are 3 unique game modes. Power race mode where you race and earn power ups. Speed Race mode where players navigate the course through ring targets, that boost the plane's speed faster and faster. Also Survival mode where pilots race against the countdown clock and each other. There are six different power ups. Each plane has two slots for power ups, so you have two different types at once. If you pick up a second power up of the same kind it will upgrade your existing one.Strategy becomes key as you must choose which powers to keep, which ones to upgrade and which ones to burn to give your plane a small amount of boost. There is also online multiplayer consisting of 8 player races. With all the available modes from the single player.

Fans of the Mario Kart series are no doubt excited about the latest installment. But for those wanting more, here's a collection of indie alternatives.
A track editor would have been awesome in MK8, I'd have also settled for procedurally generated tracks that could be saved for future races.
Nice to see some alternatives for other platforms, but I've never played a Kart game that can match the feel of MK!
The nearest I've got is the recent Sonic titles, but they are not quite there (but fun) - and I'd love to see a Mario / Sonic Kart cross-over - if they could do it for the Olympics games, why not MK! As lonmg as it was made by the team responsible for MK8! :)
I know what you mean. MK will always remain the basis for comparison. I did really enjoy Diddy Kong Racing back in the day, though.
