GameSpot gave the DS version 2/10 stating that the game 'could put you off M&M's for life'. IGN gave the DS version 3/10 and the Wii version 2.5/10 citing that 'commercial mascots make terrible video games' and that the game 'barely uses the license at all'. It has a GameRankings score of 22.50% and 22.33% for the Wii and DS versions respectively.

M&M's Kart Racing was critically panned upon release. Unlike other racers, to turn their vehicle a player also must tilt the Wii Remote. To get a turbo boost at the start of a race, players must shake their Wii Remote. The player can also pick up chocolate coins scattered across the raceway, but they have no purpose outside of arcade mode, where players must collect all the chocolate coins to proceed to the next raceway. There are cups of coffee placed on the ground around the tracks to give players a speed boost, resulting in the utterance of the infamous phrase: 'Approaching sound barrier'.

Races take place in street, dirt, ice and sandy environments which affect vehicle handling in different ways. Players can choose from seven different race vehicles which can be customized in the M&M's garage. M&M's Kart Racing is a kart racing game in which players control one of six selectable characters who race in karts in different race tracks that vary in shape and theme. The game was widely panned upon release and has been cited as one of the worst video games of all time. The game allows players to play one of M&M's characters in 15 race environments (Though is incorrectly stated as 10 on the back of the game's box). It is the 5th of the 7 M&M's video games. Both studios responsible for this game’s development were headquartered in Poland. M&M's Kart Racing is a racing video game for the Nintendo DS and Wii, based on the M&M's license and developed by Frontline Studios in co-production with Calaris Studios.
