Platform Racing is an online multiplayer webgame released in June 2007 by Jiggmin. Exactly What It Says on the Tin, this game was inspired by Mario Kart, but takes the concept in a 2D platforming direction. Though taken down as it was no longer deemed worthwhile to run the servers, this title received millions of plays and set the identity for future installments.In May 2008, just under a year later, a sequel, Platform Racing 2 released to huge success, receiving over 33 million plays, making it among the most successful independent Adobe Flash games at its peak. In addition to various quality of life improvements, the sequel's biggest draw was the introduction of a Level Editor, allowing the game to be dominated by community sourced levels. Upon completing (or forfeiting) a level, players can rate a level from one to five stars, where the highest rated go on "Today's Best," or for consistently high-rated levels, "All Time Best." Although Flash player has since been taken down, the game can still be played here, via download.A third game, Platform Racing 3, was released in 2010 on Sparkzworks. While it never achieved the notoriety of its predecessor, it too made several upgrades from the previous, most notably, a block editor that allowed users to make blocks with custom art and properties. While officially, it has been shut down, a fan relaunch is available here.

Unintentionally Unwinnable: Though rare, every once in a while, a confined level may have its route blocked by moving blocks. Also rare, players with the warp item can sometimes reach unintended areas with no means to get back on the course.

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: On Zerostar(¬¬), there's a way to block players behind you from finishing the race. However, doing so takes enough time where anyone reasonably close will catch up, and if anyone is that far behind, you can almost certainly win outright.

Homage: Mario Bros remix and Yoshi’s Island from the second game’s campaigns lift design elements from Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi's Island, the former a little more directly. Heatwave 5 from the third game is indirectly modelled after Marble Zone, while other levels are called Doodle Jump and Rainbow Road. No points for guessing the latter two’s inspiration.
