Reception
The game received "average" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, where the game was ported for release under the name Boku to Sim no Machi Racing on June 25, 2009, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40 for the Wii version, and 25 out of 40 for the DS version. Austin Light of GameSpot praised the Wii version's customization and new style of kart racing. The DS version was praised for its fun customization options, the Story mode that mixes up the standard kart-racing formula and its crisp, vibrant visuals both in and out of races; however, Light felt the game's Story mode was too long.
