After opening Crazyracing Kartrider, it'll check for game and GameGuard updates. After it updates, (or finds that there are no updates) a log in screen will appear. Log in. If you don't have an account, sign on on the Nexon website. After you log in, the game will open. If it's your first time playing, you'll have to first make a character. Also, you'll have to get your Beginner's License by passing a few basic tests. These introduce you to the controls of the game.

After getting a license, you're ready to race! Enter the multiplayer room and join a race by clicking one or using one of the random race buttons at the top.

Before the race begins, everyone has to be ready. (except the leader) In the case of team races, both teams also need to have the same number of people. Once everyone is ready and both teams have the same number of racers, the leader can press start to start the race.

In the race, you control the kart with the same controls you learned in the License test. For a refresher, see Controls. In the beginning of the race, press Up just as the word "Start" appears for a short speed boost. There are various objects on-screen you should be familiar with:

• At the bottom right corner is the speedometer - it shows your current speed and how much Lucci (money) you have.
• Just above it is the minimap. You're the big arrow, all the other racers show up as dots.
• On the left side is the current standings of the race, and above it is your current position.
• At the top right corner is the time/laps/best lap indicator.
• At the top left are two item slots.
• In Item mode, you'll see item boxes. They look different depending on the course you're on.
• At the bottom left corner is the rear-view mirror, which only shows up if someone's behind you.
