Lucas M. Thomas of IGN criticized the DS version for its similarities to the Mario Kart series, especially "Mario Kart DS", as well as for having no characters from other Cartoon Network shows that were airing new episodes at the time such as "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", "Camp Lazlo", "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy", "", and "My Gym Partner's a Monkey". GameSpot's Aaron Thomas pointed out the same version's resemblance to "Mario Kart", but he explained that a younger audience would find the game more enjoyable than an audience of serious gamers would.
