Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing is a racing game released in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Torus Games and published by Activision.

It landed about 5 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2006 include Mother 3, Rhythm Tengoku and Drill Dozer.

It is part of the Shrek series; on the GBA you can also try Shrek: Hassle at the Castle, Shrek SuperSlam and Shrek the Third. The series also appears on other systems with Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown (GBC) and Shrek Forever After (DS). Torus Games also made Space Invaders, Doom II and Duke Nukem Advance for the GBA.

Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a story or exploration rather than laps
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing is like

Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
