Reception

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway has received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to review aggregator Metacritic. There was a 70/100 on the PlayStation 5 version, a 68/100 on the Xbox Series X and Series S version, and a 64/100 on the Nintendo Switch version. Shacknews appreciated the number of characters, tracks and modes, but ultimately called it "as average of a kart racer as it gets." Nintendo Life praised the character roster, customization and addition of voice acting, but heavily criticized the performance of the Switch version, saying that it runs "with a severely reduced frame rate compared to its predecessor, making everything feel more sluggish as a result."
