## Release

Cocoto Kart Racer was originally released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube, being published by BigBen Interactive. The original release was exclusive to Europe. A completely separate version was developed for the Game Boy Advance, and was released that same year.

The PC version was exclusive to Europe. It was published by Midas Interactive in 2006 for Microsoft Windows.

The DS version was released in Europe, Japan, and US/Canada in 2007, being the first time a Cocoto game was released internationally. It was published by BigBen, Kemco, and Conspiracy Entertainment for each respective region. This is the only Cocoto game in the series to be released in Japan, since no other Cocoto game was released there since then. That same year, Midway published the game in the UK under the name Cocoto Racers.

The Wii version was released in 2007 in Europe, once again being published by BigBen. In 2008, video game publisher Conspiracy Entertainment published both Cocoto Kart Racer and Cocoto Magic Circus in North America.

The game was released in 2009 on iPhone, and an iPad version released in 2010. As of 2022, this version has been delisted from the App Store, as part of Apple's policy to delist any apps and games that have not been updated for a certain amount of time. It is also only a 32 bit game, which makes it incompatible with modern iOS versions and devices.

## Cocoto Kart Racer 2

In 2011, a revision of Cocoto Kart Racer was released exclusively in Europe called Cocoto Kart Racer 2. Oddly enough, it is branded as a sequel, despite it being the same as the original Cocoto Kart Racer. The only notable difference, aside from the rebranding, is that the game now offers support for the Wii Wheel, and the tracks being tweaked to fit the new control scheme.

## Heracles : Chariot Racing

Heracles Chariot Racing is a copy & paste of Cocoto Kart Racer with some differents textures and models.

It was also made by Neko Entertainment.

## Trivia

* The GBA and J2ME versions are the only versions of Cocoto Kart Racer to be developed separately from the original version, due to the weaker capabilities of said platforms.
* The Wii version of CKR has notable revisional differences from the GC/Wii versions. Click here for more details.
