Kubert: Rural Racing

Kubert: Rural Racing is a racing video game for the Nintendo GameCube. The game is notable for starring GameCube Online's mascot, Kubert, as the main character. The game was released in Jetania on 1st November, 2002, the same day GameCube Online was launched. The game was later released internationally a year later, with the game releasing on 31st October, 2003 in Brazil and later 19th December, 2003 in Europe and Japan. The game was a success in Jetania, selling 3 million copies in the country alone, and received positive reviews from critics. The game was a moderate success in international regions.

Ironically, despite the main character of the game being the mascot for an online service, there was no online connectivity for the game aside from sharing replays online.

Plot
Dr. Steelwheel announces that he is hosting a racing competition for charity. Kubert, who has not had the best history with the doctor, thinks this is one of his tricks, but decides to go for it anyway, after paying a rather high fee.

After winning all of the races in the game, Dr. Steelwheel admits that he is not giving the money to charity, but has instead spent it on himself, and he has now created a robot called Tempt that challenges Kubert to a race. After defeating Tempt, Dr. Steelwheel is taken to jail. Kubert, however, says that he has had fun, and everybody continues racing.

Circuit Zones
Circuit Zones are the main mode of the game, and feature the players racing around a certain amount of tracks and trying to get either a gold, silver, bronze or green trophy.
