->''"This nightmare will never end."''
''Nightmare Kart'' is an upcoming {{Retraux}} MascotRacer developed by Lilith Walther. The game was originally announced as a FanGame themed around ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' titled ''Bloodborne Kart'' in 2021, and was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNn-tNe0s2A was originally slated for release on the 31st of January, 2024,]] however, on January 26, the game would end up getting delayed after [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal issues]] from Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment forced the team to strip away the ''Bloodborne'' branding in favor of making it an original game.
On April 1, 2024, [[https://twitter.com/b0tster/status/1775191464147829064 the game has been announced to have been rebranded]] as ''Nightmare Kart'' and will be released on Steam and Itch.io for free on May 31, 2024.

[[folder:Tropes related to ''Bloodborne Kart'']]
* AdaptationalCurves: Trailers show that Micolash is way taller compared to the other hunters. This is so that he's more proportionally sized with the vehicles everyone rides.
* BabyCarriage: Mergo is a playable racer and "appears" exactly as they did in the original game, leading to the sight of an empty, self-propelled baby carriage zipping about the racetrack at high speed.
* BaitAndSwitch: [[https://youtu.be/lcwnMAxWY1I?si=m_Ta-DFnB16_nTrM Micolash's intro cutscene]] shows him shambling offscreen, towards his kart, his shadow projected onto the wall. Obviously, he's going to get into the kart and drive off... and then he instead does a goofy-looking sprint into the distance.
* {{Bathos}}: The game is built around the grim and bleak setting of ''Bloodborne'' while also being a silly and wacky kart racer where the contrast between the two is used to enhance the humor.
* DenserAndWackier: It's the ''Bloodborne'' setting, but a kart racer. Instead of all the characters slaughtering each other, they're vying to win a race around the tracks. Much of the humor in the trailers is [[{{Bathos}} the stark juxtaposition of the grim, bleak seriousness of the narrative with lighthearted mascot racing]].
* HandicappedBadass: Gehrman is still wheelchair-bound as he was in ''Bloodborne'', except this time [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5c38tNyeY8 he's shown to be able to compete in motor vehicle races just by pushing his chair around in his debut trailer.]]
* MonowheelMayhem: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooP2_Vd8dk4 Lady Maria's trailer]] shows that her vehicle of choice is a giant clockwork wheel, which takes the shape of the Astral Clocktower's clock.
* {{Retraux}}: The assets shown in the trailers use the same Platform/PlayStation1-ish artstyle as ''Bloodborne PSX''. Textures are pixellated, objects have vertex warping when in motion, and a thick distance fog covers things that are too far from the camera.
* ShoutOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-3XhuOfV8E The announcement trailer]] features a parody of the ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'' poster when the {{title drop}}s, with the Good Hunter approaching their bike identically to Kaneda towards his own. For another ''AKIRA'' reference, [[https://youtu.be/ZNn-tNe0s2A?si=HtLWAcboFMHGNwKm&t=40 the release date trailer]] features another homage, this time to Kaneda sliding on his bike away from the camera (spoofed with Father Gascoigne doing likewise).
* SuperSpeed: [[https://youtu.be/cZZqkyH77kM?si=vlvnfY2H9yJ5kCvQ Micolash's trailer]] shows him to be able to compete in kart races by simply running really fast.
* SuperWheelchair: Trailers show that Gehrman's wheelchair has been tricked-out with a massive motorbike muffler, one that [[IncendiaryExponent spews gouts of fire]] whenever he revs the engine.
