Mini Motor Racing X Review: Rocket League Meets Mario Kart in VR?
Quick Verdict: Mini Motor Racing X is the most content-packed arcade racer on standalone VR. With a massive career mode, Rocket League-style “Bumper Ball,” and the ability to switch between “Toy Car” and “Cockpit” views instantly, it offers incredible value for money.
Most VR arcade racers suffer from the same problem: they are short. You finish the tracks in 2 hours and never play again. Mini Motor Racing X is different. It feels like a full console game crammed into a VR headset.
Unlike Dash Dash World, which focuses on multiplayer chaos, this game focuses on a deep, grind-heavy single-player career that will keep you unlocking cars for weeks.
KartVR Rating: 8.5 / 10 (Best Content Value)
The “Toy” Perspective vs. Cockpit
The unique selling point of this game is the camera. You can play in two completely different ways:
-
God Mode (Isometric): You look down on the track like a giant playing with Micro Machines. This is zero motion sickness and perfect for relaxing. The tracks look like beautiful little dioramas.
-
Cockpit Mode: With one button press, you shrink down and sit inside the car. Suddenly, the cute toy track becomes a terrifying rollercoaster. The sense of scale is fantastic; giant soccer balls and fruit (depending on the track) tower over you.
Gameplay & Physics
This is not a simulation. The cars handle like RC cars—twitchy, grippy, and fast. Drifting is handled by a dedicated drift button rather than brake balancing.
-
Type X Mode: This turns on weapons (missiles, shields, tornadoes). It transforms the game into a combat racer like Mario Kart.
-
Wheel Support: Surprisingly, this arcade game supports force feedback wheels. While it feels a bit weird to drive a “toy” car with a realistic Logitech wheel, the feedback is punchy and adds a fun layer of immersion you don’t expect in this genre.
The “Bumper Ball” Mode
We have to mention this because it could be a standalone game. There is a mode called “Bumper Ball” which is essentially Rocket League in VR. You drive cars around a stadium trying to hit a massive ball into a net.
-
Why it rocks: Playing Rocket League on a flat screen is hard. In VR, you have depth perception. It is infinitely easier to judge the ball’s trajectory and header it into the goal.
Cross-Play: Works across Quest, PC, and PSVR.
Bumper Ball: The Rocket League clone mode is surprisingly competent and fun.
Content Volume: Hundreds of races, upgrades, and unlocks. Huge value.
Camera Options: Switch instantly between "Comfortable Toy View" and "Intense Cockpit View."
Repetitive Sound: The engine noises can get droning and annoying after long sessions.
Weapon Variety: The weapons feel a bit generic (standard missiles/mines) compared to Dash Dash World.
Difficulty Spikes: The AI can rubber-band aggressively in later career races.
Conclusion: Should You Buy It?
If you want a game you can sink 20+ hours into without getting bored, Mini Motor Racing X is the winner. It lacks the visual polish of Galaxy Kart and the hand-tracked immersion of Dash Dash World, but it beats them both on raw content volume.
It is the perfect “Palette Cleanser” game to play between serious sim racing sessions.
Where to Buy
For Meta Quest (Standalone): 👉 Check Price on Meta Store Perfect for playing “God Mode” while sitting on the couch.
For PC VR (Steam): 👉 Buy Steam Key via CDKeys Often costs less than a cup of coffee during sales.
Recommended Gear: 🎮 Xbox Wireless Controller (Amazon) While it supports wheels, we actually prefer playing this one with a standard gamepad for that “RC Car” feel.
