My intention was to flame broil you up an ironic treatise on the destructive nature of capitalism passed off as a review for a fast-food slop video game, but I can't nail the satire any more than my tiny hands can hold a Whopper™, and I've watched Brooke Burke eat shit failing to corner her way through a BK drive-thru on her stupid, dumbass looking clown bike so many times that I no longer have the mental capacity to anyway.
Pocket Bike Racer offers up four circuits and three CCs, which at first glance might deceive you into thinking there's a decent amount of game here, but you'll barely make it into your six-finger pour of Ten High you use to dull the sting of living before you realize there's only five tracks. Damn, not even the cheapest whiskey west of the Rockies can save you now. How do they stretch that out? Well, each circuit is just a different game mode, and it's all rote kart racer mainstays like free battle. This game cost about 3.99$ when it released in 2006, I don't know that it's fair to expect more from it, but the dearth of content and unimaginative gameplay makes this the least interesting of the three games in the BK Trilogy and the easiest one to drop.
As with Big Bumpin', the controls do feel competent at least. Nothing about the game is broken, it's just that like the King himself, there's no life behind its eyes. How is it possible that a game cynically released to capitalize on a successful marketing campaign for a fast-food company could lack a soul? A sobering thought.

It still blows my mind that Burger King made 3 video games starring their weird, hilarious King mascot that cost just $5 each. I miss the days of companies doing weird shit like this. None of the games were particularly good but I still enjoyed them and they hit at the perfect time in my life when I was going to BK a lot. <3 Chicken Fries <3
I played this at my friend's house not long after the Burger King games came out in 2006, I remember it not being great but having a solid enough time with the Burger King gimmick, even if I got stuck once or twice.
Decidedly the most competent of the Burger King Trilogy, Pocket Bike Racer is a generic, good enough Kart Racer. This will never come close to something like Mario Kart but racing as the bizarre characters in this game is funny enough to grant it some staying power.
fun to play for about an hour but then it gets pretty boring
I fucking love Burger King
