BEERKART

01 / GET RACING

Your next grid.

Choose your driver name, kart and race class in the garage. Start with 80cc · Pub Crawl for a gentler pace; move up to 120cc or 150cc when you know the course.

Grand Prix

Race a multi-course championship and build your points total.

Single Race

Pick one of the six authored BeerKart courses.

Time Trial

Attack a three-lap run and improve your course record.

Venue Challenge

Take on the authored courses’ missions and earn medals.

Race with the stream

Use Open Lobby & Join, then choose Join Live Race or Join Next Grid. Browsing the lobby does not reserve a kart. If a race is underway or the grid is full, you’ll spectate until a slot opens.

Live races use the server’s course, grid and race rules. The shared race class is locked once countdown begins.

01B / BATTLE LOBBY

No laps. Land a hit.

Choose Battle in the main menu. Pick Brewery Brawl, Dockyard Scrap or the two-level Cellar Clash, set the round length and bot fill, then ready up. Your garage kart, driving controls and sound settings carry over.

Each unblocked hostile item hit earns one point. You have three durability pips; a knockout returns you after three seconds with full durability and two seconds of protection. Using an item ends protection. Highest score when the clock stops wins; equal leaders share the result. Solo practice is not a competitive win.

Recover Kart in the Battle menu costs one point, down to zero, and uses the normal respawn delay. Battle awards no race rewards, cup points, time-trial records or challenge medals.

Battle pickups include Bottle, Keg, Foam, Spill, Shield, Goggles, Turbo and Six-Pack. Bottle fires forward; Keg follows a visible nearby target; Foam and Spill stay behind you. Walls and separate decks block attacks. Last Orders, Hiccups, Lime Wedge, Round and Corkscrew are excluded from this battle pool; the race item list below is unchanged.

02 / CONTROLS

Make the corner.

These are the default bindings. Rebind the six driving actions under Controls & Accessibility in the garage.

In menus: D-pad or left stick to move, A / Start to select, B / Back to return. Button names follow a standard gamepad layout and may differ on your controller.

Sound controls are also available under Controls & Accessibility and in the pause / race menu. Your sound preference is saved on this browser.

Turn a drift into a boost

At speed, steer into the corner while holding drift. Keep the slide on the road to build charge, then release drift while grounded for a mini-turbo. Balancing your steering against the slide charges it faster. On a jump, use drift while airborne to queue a landing trick boost.

On a phone or tablet

Slide the steering pad to steer. Hold GAS to accelerate, or DRIFT to accelerate and drift. Hold BRAKE to slow down, tap ITEM to use your pickup, and tap Ⅱ for the race menu. Touch controls appear when you control a kart. In Steering & Touch Setup, choose your button hand (the steering pad moves to the opposite side) and small, medium or large steering size.

Steering setup

Autopilot drives and uses items for your player in Grand Prix, Single Race and online races. Toggle it in Controls & Accessibility or the pause / race menu, with O, or with your configured controller button. Your player identity and place stay yours. Release driving controls before taking over manually. Local pause freezes autopilot; an online race keeps running. Autopilot is unavailable in Time Trial and Venue Challenge.

Controller item and autopilot buttons can be changed in Steering & Touch Setup. Start and Back keep their fixed menu roles. Conflicting item / autopilot assignments swap. Other driving functions on a custom button remain active; choose a spare button if you want a dedicated action. Reset Controller Buttons restores X for items and Y for autopilot, separately from keyboard and steering settings.

Open Controls & Accessibility → Steering & Touch Setup in the garage. Sensitivity sets steering strength for every input. Deadzone filters a resting stick; a higher response curve softens its centre. Higher stick response and keyboard turn / return rates reach the requested direction or centre sooner. Touch steering uses a slightly slower stick response. These settings are saved in this browser, separately from key bindings. Existing legacy 3D steering and touch preferences are carried over when no v2 preference exists. Reset Steering & Touch restores the tuned defaults without resetting keys or sound.

Comfort settings

Reduce or disable camera feedback, impact flashes and haptics, or enable the high-contrast HUD in Controls & Accessibility. Phone vibration depends on browser support. Choose Balanced or Stream Safe graphics if you need a lighter render.

03 / TWITCH CHAT

You call the shots.

Your Twitch kart steers and accelerates itself. Its held item waits for your command.

!bkjoin

Request the next available grid. Entry lasts one race—join again for the next round.

!bkitem

Use the item you’re holding. 8-second cooldown.

!bkhorn

Give the pack a honk. 6-second cooldown.

!bklane l
!bklane r

Bias your kart left or right for six seconds. 10-second cooldown.

Item, horn and lane commands need an active race and your kart on the grid. No item to use yet? Collect a box first. The stream’s Twitch relay must be connected for chat racing.

04 / THE ITEM BOX

A little corner insurance.

Drive through a box when your item slot is empty. Your position influences the pickup mix. Most items wait until a hit-spin ends; Lime Wedge can help you recover during one.

Hop Rocket

A short speed boost with a brief dodge window.

Six-Pack Surge

A longer boost for making up ground.

Beer Bubble

A temporary shield to absorb an incoming hit.

Rolling Keg

A forward projectile that can home toward a reachable racer ahead.

Foam Slick

Drop a slippery trap behind your kart.

Last Orders

Disrupt racers ahead. Shields and phasing can protect them.

Bankshot Bottle

A fast aimed shot that can bounce off course rails. Called Flying Bottle in chat.

Hiccups

Disrupt a valid racer ahead. Keep it until a target is available.

Lime Wedge

Clear hiccups, shorten a spin and get a recovery boost.

Spill Puddle

Leave a short-lived slowing puddle behind you.

Beer Goggles

Briefly phase through collision and item threats.

House Round

A full boost for you and a smaller one for the rest of the live pack.

Corkscrew

Steal a reachable rival’s held item, or receive a consolation boost.

05 / GARAGE & BEERCASH

Build your house special.

Choose your body, weight class, paint and race number, then open the Custom Shop for wheels, toppers, stickers, underglow and effects. The 3D preview shows your selection before you race.

• Device selections are saved in this browser. They are not a receipt for paid ownership.
• Twitch sign-in connects supported garage profile features to your account when the service is configured.
• Locked previews let you inspect a part. Previewing it does not purchase or permanently unlock it.
• BeerCash purchases use the price and ownership shown by the connected shop. Some paintwork and stickers are paid items.

If the wallet is unavailable or a purchase is being checked, follow the shop’s status message. Historical purchases are not restored simply by typing the same driver name. Race rewards depend on the server’s earning settings.

06 / WATCH THE RACE

One source. The whole race.

The broadcast carousel rotates between a lightweight 2D view, a 3D director camera and a whole-course overview during racing. It holds the 2D view for the lobby, countdown and results.

For OBS, add a 1920 × 1080 Browser Source using this site’s /broadcast address. The page is transparent so it can sit over your stream. Spectator views don’t enter a kart.

07 / QUICK ANSWERS

Before the next lap.
