Nexon's new KartRider multiplayer racing world is getting into the holiday tradition along with MapleStory, with its Artic Rim tracks showing off holiday spirit, featuring events, music and prizes in keeping with a seasonal theme.

The Shark's Fin, Penguin Town and Ice Cave tracks in the arctic rim are decked out with candy canes, santa penguins and jingle bells, and play Christmas music. In addition to the decorations, KartRider will hold a Holiday Marathon event, an endurance race where players can win prizes like laptops, iPods and other holiday gifts.

Interestingly, there's a MySpace crossover here -- users can leave comments on the KartRider MySpace page stating which item they'd like to receive from the Item Shop and why, and the best comments will have their wishes granted.
