About
3D Pixel Racing is an arcade-style racing game developed by Vidia and released in 2011. The game was released as a downloadable game on WiiWare and in the App Store for iOS devices. 3D Pixel Racing heavily capitalizes on its graphical uniqueness. Unlike most 3D games, every object in 3D Pixel Racing is made of multi-colored voxels that are reminiscent of old 8-bit games from the 1970s and 80's.

Gameplay
The gameplay in 3D Pixel Racer is similar to other basic driving games. Players choose a driver, car, and gameplay mode, and compete in a series of events in that mode to unlock new cars, tracks, and drivers. Every track in the game has several checkpoints at which players' total race times are logged, so players can replay tracks to get the best time. The game controls in the Wii version are nearly the same as those in Mario Kart Wii; the Wii Remote is held in the sideways position and used to simulate a steering wheel. The iOS version of the game uses the iPhone's built-in accelerometer as a steering wheel, and two buttons on the touchscreen to control the car's gas and brake.
There are five different gameplay modes in 3D Pixel Racing: Single Race, Championship, Time Trial, Capture the Flag, and Hot Pursuit. Every gameplay mode supports both single-player and multiplayer games with up to four players.
Reception
The iOS version received "average" reviews, while the Wii version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
