';';';';';'; ;';';' ;';';' ;';'; ;';;' ;';';';' ;';';; ;';';';';';';';I. ;';';';';';';Introduction KartRider is a unique racing game made by Nexon for the PC. It's fun and challenging, with it updating every week or so, with new quests, scenarios, and items. What's the biggest part - is that it's online. Yes, online. You can battle it out (or FORCED to battle it out) against friends, or even people you don't know. Even if you don't want to interact with others, you can always work on quests, scenarios and licenses. If you want to join KartRider, you need an account. The website is found at 'www.nexon.net', and click no KartRider. (If you already have a Nexon Account for Audtion Online, or MapleStory, you are set already) Click where it says Register, to, well, register. After that, you must download KartRider. It's under Downloads section of Nexon or Katrider. I've heard different download times - usually the least being about 5 minutes, the most being about an hour and a half. (In these cases they are fast and slow computers, however) After - click on Kartrider, and you're ready to go. The rest of this guide is all about Kartrider. Each section is seperated by a little tire, made of "" ' ""s and "" ; ""s. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'Ia. ;';';';' Version History Version 0.2 Today is the first update of this guide. I have gotten a small bit in, as well as all the needs (Copyright, Introduction, etc.) ------- Version 0.4 Done some more, mainly with quests etc. I should have a good amount done tomorrow. ------- Version 0.41 Replaced Titles with Tire art. Also did a few more things with borders. -------- Version 0.6 I finished all PERMANENT quests, as well as all AVALIBLE licenses. I also added gloves, and added most avalible information there. I only need to finish Scenario now. --------- Version 0.7 Ok, after thought, I found Scenario to be optional, as you do not need it to advanced licenses. I gave it a seperate section out of the walkthrough, so I have technically completed the Walkthrough, but not whole guide. --------- Version 0.8 Today I've finished the Glove Ranking Section, as well as added a new feature. Underneath is how many more Rp you need to the next level, so you don't have to caculate it. --------- Version 0.8.1.1 Fixed temporary questss table of contents. --------- Version 0.8.1.2 Removed Temporary quests names on TABLE OF CONTENTS ONLY!!! Keeping them as an archive for anyone who decides to look. --------- Version 0.8.1.3 Fixed various spacing issues to make everything even in enter spaces.

';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IIb. ;';';';'Racing ^ Accelerate <, > Turn left or right v Down, slow CTRL Use item SHIFT Drift You can choose between different channels - depending on your license. The more licenses you have, the more you have. You can go in your level license channel and any below it, with the exception of Beginner. There are two types of races, divided into two more. The main mode is Speed. Speed is a classic mode, where you race just like on most Scenarios, and Time Trial. You can also boost. You can do either Single which is free for all, or Team which is a bit different. It's the same, but, there's a second bar at the top in Team. When you drive, any member, the bar goes up a tiny bit. Whenever it fills up, any Red Nitros already obtained goes to you. To fill up either bar, successfully drift. Item is a bit different. There are no bars, but you can still drift, although it has little effect. The biggest difference is the fact that item boxes appear, which you can use to your advantage. Team is almost the same, but homing work a bit different, and there's a few different items than in Single. While in Multiplayer, you can Create a Room. You can make the name, limit people, as wlel as you being the leader. You can also make a password to lock certain people out. You can also Find a Rider. You simply type in their name, it must be correct spelling, and you will be taken to them if they are in a open room, or in their garage. ';';';';';'; ;';';' ;';';' ;';'; ;';;' ;';';';' ;';';; ;';';';';';';';III. ;';';';';';';Walkthrough After you've downloaded KartRider, click on the icon. There, you will open up the window. Type in your USERNAME and PASSWORD. Then, the full screen will open up. Now - you must choose your Character and Paint. There are VERY important. You can buy more later - for a high price. Also, any items bought in Kart Rider dissapear after 7, 30, or 90 (most being 30) days. Thse first paints and character however, never run out - so it's best to choose your FAVORITE color, as well as your gender. You can buy different characters and paints later, but like I said, they die off after 30 or 90 days. After you pick, you get the most basic Practice Cart bundled with it. After you start - you're free to work on whatever you want. You can do License, which is working to higher levels. These are the most important, because these determine what kind of Quest and Scenarios you get. You also get exclusive items and accesories, as well as better channels in Multiplayer races. Quests are also important - because you can get free items and gifts. You can also multitask scenarios and some licenses with these, which is good. It's also required for you to finish these to obtain bonus, limited time quests which give you exclusive items. Scenario is the least important, but part of completing the game. You also get items, and is fun to do when you don't want to race multiplayer. You embark on a journey through many mini-quests to do. So, you can do them in practically ALMOST any order, so take your pick. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IIIa. ;';';';'License The different licenses can be looked at and you can do the tests over and over, with the exception of Beginner. You can access your licenses at the License Button. ;';'; ;'; ;IIIa1. ;';;'Beginner License With the Beginner License, you can unlock all the features you didn't have because of the tutorial. You also unlock the exclusive Beginner channel, but you don't get RP or Lucci. TEST 1: Drive This test is simple. The first thing you must do is follow the instructions. Press SPACEBAR to advance the text, then accelerate by pressing UP. Then, you must drive backwards. Now you must drive left and right - but you must accelerate by doing so. You must press UP, and then you must press RIGHT. Do the same, except switch RIGHT with LEFT. TEST 2: Booster Drill This is the easiest test of your life. First, start the race, and whenever you feel like it (you must finish the race with it though) press CTRL and activate your Nitro Boost to finish the race. TEST 3: Missle Drill Learning how tracking and locking-on works on KartRider takes some practice. So lock on, hold CTRL while being close to or straight in front of the target. You then wait until the cross hair turns, red, that means in will follow the target. In this case, drive in front of the pirate looking doll, and hold control until the crosshair turns red. Then, let go of the CTRL, and watch the doll blow to pieces. TEST 4: Bank Drill This is the final and hardest test. You have to collect as much of the gold coins on the track in 2 minutes as possible, and you'll get your Beginner License. Remember stay slow because you have two minutes. Just take it slow and easy, and you may want to go back if you miss one. Take turns slow, since they're in a patterned line. ;';'; ;'; ;IIIa2. ;';;'Rookie License With the Rookie License, you can participate in two new channels - Novice, for beginners, and Rookie. In Global KartRider, Rookie's the highest rank, so it's generally for a bit tougher players. In these channels, you can obtain RP (EXP in this game) and Lucci (money) TEST 1: Curb Drill This is a test where you must drive through poles scattered along. Really simple - but you only have twenty seconds. Although you have a guided path, it's really easier to just follow them in a straight line - you'll have more than half your time left. TEST 2: Magnet Drill Another target practice sort of drill. First off, it's much like the rocket. So lock on, hold CTRL while being close to or straight in front of the target. You then wait until the cross hair turns, red, that means in will follow the target. So in this case, let go to activate your magnet at the block (it will magnet at other players in most other cases) and you'll be sent flying that way. You have 7 seconds. If you're bored, and want a challenge, press control right after the 1 dissapears for a beginning boost. Assuming you don't mess with it, you don't even have to magnet to finish the race. TEST 3: Drift Drill This is the hardest test you've had yet - drifting. And you only have 60 seconds. To drift, hold down SHIFT and turn, you'll move slower and more turn. Let go to fill up your meter at the bottom a bit. If it's full, it turns into a Nitro Boost, so you can speed up. So, Drift until your Nitro Bar is full, then head through the finish line to obtain the Rookie License. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IIIb. ;';';';'Quests Quest Set 1! Tutorial No License Required ~~~~~~~~~~ Part 1: Obtain both Licenses. 500 lucci This is a relatively easy part. Look at the license section, and look under Beginner and Rookie. ~~~ Part 2: Use Quick-Join White-Glove Plate (7-days) Go to Multiplayer, and click Quick-Join to join a race. You must then finish it. ~~~ Part 3: Use the Gift-Box 500 lucci At the bottom of the screen are tabs. One has a heart, it is the Gift-Box. You can accept your White-Glove Plate here, or you can save it since you can only use it for 7 days. After that, you'll finish the quest. ~~~ Part 4: Visit your Garage 500 lucci Simple. Go to the same tab, and press Garage. Look around in your items for about ten seconds, and you'll complete the quest. ~~~ Part 5: Buy an item 1,500 lucci Buy anything from the shop (also on the tab) with the 1,500 lucci you got. I reccocmend you buy something worth while, like Paint or Characters. ~~~ Part 6: Switch channels 500 lucci There are various channels. Race in one race in a particular channel, and then switch to another one, and race again. Simple enough. ~~~ Part 7: Create a Room 500 lucci You can create your own room where you can be the leader, and customize the title, password, and players of a room. To finish this quest - you must first create a room. The best is probably Single Item. Then wait a while until someone clicks Ready, then you click Start. You will complete the race, and the quest. ~~~ Part 8: Complete a race Whenever one person finished the race, the others have 10 seconds to finish. If you don't make it in the 10 seconds, you retire. If you do - you complete it. Complete a race to pass. ~~~ Part 9: Top 3 You must be the first, second or third person in a race. It's best to do this in Items (for beginners) and it must have 4 or more players, and be single. Stay in the Novice Channel, and try to do it with only 4 or five players to have the best chance of qualifying in the Top 3. ~~~ Part 10: Time Trial You must participate in a Time Trial. In all these quests, if you don't have money, you're basically messed up. So, go to the Stop Watch: Time Trial, and enter a quick, cheap Time Trial. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IIIb1. ;';';';' Temporary Quests Some quests only last a little while - so do them while you can. ;';'; ;' ;'IIIb1' ;';';Rally Temporary Quest Set Rally! ~~~ Part 1: Compete in 20 races 30 Days - Boomtown License Plate This is just tedious, rather than hard. Just race a while - you don't have to do anything special. ~~~ Part 2: Complete 20 races 1,000 lucci You must complete (not your team) 20 races. This is harder, and may require a lot more races - but the 1000 lucci is well worth it. ;';'; ;' ;'IIIb1' ;';';Santa Presents Temporary Quest Set Rally! ~~~ Part 1: Partake in 25 Races Chrismtas Baton Just tedious. Simply partake in 25 races, and you earn a hard earned Christmas Baton! ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IIIc. ;';';';'Gloves Gloves are a staple of KartRider. At the end of a scenario/race/quest, you get (might in some Scenarios and Quests) RP. When these RPs build up enough, you get a level up - and your 'glove' changes to less and less fingers held up. When all the fingers are down, you rank up to the next colored. When you finish all the colors, you go on to Stared colors and fingers. Gloves aren't your actual gloves on your hand, but when you race, or see your profile, there's a small, glove looking object. Other people and yourself can see your glove. The top thing is the kind of glove. Below the kind of glove, on the left side is how many fingers, and on the right side is the minimum amount of be that glove. The amount of RP required to upgrade to the next is based om a simple pattern. It starts with 875, and then doubles on the last glove of that class, then you use the doubled one for Green. So, a = 5 finger, b = 1 finger, c = next glove a2 = b a2 = c The pattern is slightly editted at Red Glove, and halts after that. Yellow Glove 5 Fingers - 0 RP +875 RP 4 Fingers - 875 RP +875 RP 3 Fingers - 1750 RP +875 RP 2 Fingers - 2625 RP +875 RP 1 Finger - 3500 RP +1400 RP Green Glove 5 Fingers - 4900 RP +1400 4 Fingers - 6300 RP +1400 3 Fingers - 7700 RP +1400 2 Fingers - 9100 RP +1400 1 Finger - 10500 RP +2800 Blue Glove 5 Fingers - 13000 RP +2800 4 Fingers - 16100 RP +2800 3 Fingers - 18900 RP +2800 2 Fingers - 21700 RP +2800 1 Finger - 24500 RP +4200 Red Glove 5 Fingers - 28700 RP +4200 4 Fingers - 32900 RP +4200 3 Fingers - 37100 RP +4200 2 Fingers - 41300 RP +4200 1 Finger - 45500 RP +5600 Black Glove 5 Fingers - 51100 GP +5600 4 Fingers - 56700 GP +5600 3 Fingers - 62300 GP +5600 2 Fingers - 67900 GP +5600 1 Finger - 73500 GP +8400 Rainbow Glove 5 Fingers - 81900 GP +8400 4 Fingers - 90300 GP +8400 3 Fingers - 98700 GP +8400 2 Fingers - 107100 GP +8400 1 Finger - 115500 GP +1800 Starred Yellow Glove 5 Fingers - 117300 GP +1800 4 Fingers - 119100 GP +1800 3 Fingers - 120900 GP +1800 2 Fingers - 122700GP +1800 1 Finger - 124500 GP +4000 Starred Green Glove 5 Fingers - 128500 GP +4000 4 Fingers - 132500 GP +4000 3 Fingers - 136500 GP +4000 2 Fingers - 140500 GP +4000 1 Finger - 144500 GP +6800 Starred Blue Glove 5 Fingers - 151300 GP +6800 4 Fingers - 158100 GP +6800 3 Fingers - 164900 GP +6800 2 Fingers - 171700 GP +6800 1 Finger - 178500 GP +9600 Starred Red Glove 5 Fingers - 188100 GP +9600 4 Fingers - 197700 GP +9600 3 Fingers - 207300 GP +9600 2 Fingers - 216900 GP +9600 1 Finger - 226500 GP +13200 Starred Black Glove 5 Fingers - 239700 GP +13200 4 Fingers - 252900 GP +13200 3 Fingers - 266100 GP +13200 2 Fingers - 279300 GP +13200 1 Finger - 292500 GP +17800 Starred Rainbow Glove 5 Fingers - 310300 GP +17800 4 Fingers - 328100 GP +17800 3 Fingers - 345900 GP +17800 2 Fingers - 363700 GP +17800 1 Finger - 381500 GP MAX! Good job! ';';';';';'; ;';';' ;';';' ;';'; ;';;' ;';';';' ;';';; ;';';';';';';';IV. ;';';';';';';Items Items are accesoires that can be accessed in the left panel of many things. There are characters, karts, paints and more. You buy them in a store - and they dissapear after a good while. You can receive some in the gift box soon. You can see yourself completely by going to the Garage, where you can visit others, or vice versa and have others visit you. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'IVa. ;';';';'Karts Coming soon!

She is planning to find the evil Lodumani with her boyfriend Dao." ~~~ Chunk Bonus: +10% RP & Lucci Cost: 1,000 Lucci "Chunk is a rider who is constantly practicing.

Shield - A sheild covers you for two seconds, rendering any ONE attack hitting you in that two seconds useless. Cloud - A wall of cloud blocks the view of other opponents. Anyone with goggles on can see through it. Demon - All other characters (of opposite team in Team Mode) have their Left and Right keys reversed. This is trouble thanks to the delay to start after the animation, and when it stops. UFO - A person a few places ahead of you is slowed for a few seconds drastically. Nitro Boost - You go really fast for a short period of time. Magnet - You lock on to someone, and then go fast towards them. If you get ahead, you go in the direction pulled, which is backwards. Water Bomb - A water bomb comes up a good distance ahead and stays for about two seconds. Anyone who passes it is stuck in a bubble for a long period of time. The deadliest, but worst accuracy. Missle - You lock on and aim a missle. This has good accuracy, if you aim good, but only medium deadliest. Water Fly - A water fly comes, and then catches the person one place ahead of you and traps them in a mini-bubble. This never misses, unless you're in 1st place, but only traps them for about a second. Angel (Team Item only!) - An angel comes for every member of the team for about 3 seconds, protecting them from ANY attack. UFO Block (Team Item only!) - Blocks a UFO. (Shields cant block UFOs) Double Nitro Boost (Team Speed only!) - If the meter fills up and you have a Nitro, you'll get a double boost. This boost is similar to Nitro, but is in effect longer and is much faster. ';';';';' ;';' ;'; ;';' ;';'Vb. ;';';';'Tracks Coming soon!

It's simple as long as you KEEP it simple. ~~~ Battle with Diz! Part 3 200 RP You must race actually head-to-head against Diz. Again, stay close to the corners, and rarely, if ever, drift.
