![]() ![]() If you happen to land on a lucky spot with a super dice, you then can roll up to ten spots in a single turn, which is a huge mover and can make things go really fast. There’s a countermeasure to each of these items: a hot dog adds a bunch of moves to your roll to improve movement, and the hamburger prevents your roll from being messed with at all. ![]() But if you get an eraser, for example, you can remove the effect of a space an opponent lands on, effectively making their turn for naught. Some, like the banana peel, are pretty incidental: for the price of two coins, you eliminate one space from an opponent’s roll. If you get coins, pick up items that can seriously affect the game in different ways. The very best of “dig up a patch of dirt and open that gate when it shuts.” A complex marvel.Īs far as the board game strategy of it goes, Garfield Lasagna Party is fairly simple: roll as much as you can as often as you can. You have one board, there’s a bunch of random spaces (some with lasagna!) and that’s pretty much it. Sorry, I didn’t even know Jon had a backyard: I was just marveling that he had a house with a big enough crawl space to hide all the bodies of runaways he’s collected throughout the decades. You get one board, which I guess is set in Garfield’s backyard, the quintessential place you think of when you think of Garfield. In theory, this should mean that attention to detail that should have gone to the characters instead goes to the board, but that’s also a hopeless opium dream that I chase like the ghost of my dead Victorian wife (I miss you, Lady Arestra Villanesto). Want to play as Jon, the veterinarian, or some kind of Garfield variant? Too bad, you get those four and that’s all! You can choose from Garfield, Odie, Nermal, or Arlene, whose name I had to look up three times because I kept forgetting it. Many people don’t think of the expanded Garfield universe when it comes to characters, and neither did the developers of Garfield Lasagna Party. Please feel free to correct me on version differences or ask anything else about the game or, just tell me how much you love Garfield Kart.This dog will take two of your spaces and otherwise not affect the game at all. Anyways, the only thing I can tell as a difference from the original is the graphics (witch have seen a pretty good overhaul), more content from the start and a second item slot. And when you bump into a wall or another racer, you come to a COMPLETE stop. On 50cc, there no huge issue but on 150cc, they will sent you careening off the course or into a wall. For example, on the track, Country Bumpkin, there are speed bumps. 100cc and 150cc actually cause problems with the tracks due to them being designed for 50cc. You NEED to start on 50cc if you want to win. Last but not least, the last thing that makes the game hard is the physics. It's almost amazing to witness the contrast. I got two perfumes in first place one track and crystal bombs and regular pies by the dozen the next in eight place. ![]() The item balance is to what I can tell 100% random. In Garfield Kart, AI will rubber band to you like crazy and can pull out Perfume (invincibility) out of thin air before you use a homing pie on them to move up. The AI in something like Mario Kart is designed to play well, but fairly. But the thing about it is that's it's easy. Nicktoons Kart Racing is far worse as a video game. As an experienced player of the genre, Garfield Kart, compared to some other games, is actually pretty good. In short, this is one of the hardest games I've ever played. That was until yesterday when the Nintendo Switch version of the game's re-release was leaked 17 days early so I KNEW it was my duty to bring an honest review of the game to the subreddit. I knew about it but never picked up a copy. ![]() I never played the original Garfield Kart. ![]()
