Penguin Kart 3: Race Through Time

Penguin Kart 3: Race Through Time is the third Penguin Kart game in the series. This game not only has better things from the past two games, but it now has a plot.

Plot
Several smart penguins such as Gary the Gadget Guy, Richperson and Fred 676, simply the Time Agency No. 2, creates a time machine. However, a bomb flies in(probably Explorer 767's) and gets sent into the time machine. The penguins calculate that the bomb will blow up and wipe out the past, which will wipe out the present and future as well. Many volunteers are selected, and they are to find the bomb and defuse it.

Ending
The character finally comes to the bomb in an ancient palace. He/She defuses it and saves time.

The game uses pretty much all of the gameplay of the previous games, but Snowtendo has added a couple of new features in the game.

The new features include: Add more!
 * All new(and old) characters: a total of 150 characters!

Trivia

 * Though not a direct parody, it is a reference to the popular Nintendo game Mario Kart.
 * Snow's original power item was a Microphone. He'd play it in a rough voice, causing anyone in range to go spinning.
