El Chavo Kart (Chaves Kart in Brazil) is a 2014kart racing game created by Colombian developer Efecto Studios and Mexican developer Slang and published byTelevisa Home Entertainment forXbox 360 andPlayStation 3. A conversion of the game was also released onAndroid, but was later removed. The game features almost all of the characters ofEl Chavo Animado (except forJaimito andGloria), with tracks loosely based on locations from the animated series. In 2020, an updated version of the game was released foriOS andAndroid with an updated art style reminiscent of Funko POP! toys.
El Chavo Kart is a mascot-basedkart racing game in the same vein as theMario Kart series. Players get to compete as characters from the series (except for Jaimito and Gloria), along with tracks loosely based on locations from the animated series.[1]
The game offers three game modes: Cups, Exhibition, and Challenges.[1] In "Cups", the player can unlock characters, while at the end of "Challenges" scenarios and tracks are unlocked. The player can collectpower-ups along the race which can be used to benefit himself and gain an advantage in the race. Tracks include series features and scenarios such asAzteca Stadium, the city ofAcapulco, theMaracanã Stadium inRio de Janeiro and alsoStadium TFC inToulouse. Each track can be raced in the opposite direction, and include alternative paths, traps and obstacles. The game featureslocal multiplayer, allowing up to four players to compete against each other simultaneously. The game features 46 trophies or achievements that can be unlocked to progress through the game.[2]
El Chavo Kart was announced by Roberto Gómez Fernández, son of Mexican comedian and series creatorRoberto Gómez Bolaños, known as "Chespirito", coinciding with Bolaños' 85th birthday in 2014, also the year of Bolaños' death.[3] Voice actors from the animated series reprised their roles in the game.
The game is developed withUnreal Engine 3, and features graphics that mimic the series' art style. Each character has different animations that appear in races when the player hits or jumps, or win a race. Also, the development team took more than two years to carry out, as also with the participation of about 150 people in the studio.
The Brazilian version of the game (where it is given the titleChaves Kart) features Rio de Janeiro'sCorcovado as the background image on the game's cover. The French version of the game (where it is also given the titleCourse avec Charlie) also features Toulouse'sPyrenees as the background image on the game's Xbox 360 cover.[original research?]
