Shrek: Smash n' Crash Racing has you racing through 12 environments with gameplay similar to Mario Kart, but set in the Shrek universe. Play as one of 12 different characters each with its own unique mount, such as Shrek and a Swamp Beast, Gingy and a Cup Cake Horse and Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Battle your way around the tracks against 5 opponents with a range of different pick-ups such as pixie dust, ogre strength and swamp gas, both defensive and offensive, to help you fight your way to the lead. The tracks have many dynamic elements, large jumps and forks with multiple routes.
