Nexon announced on the 16th that it has rolled out a collaboration update for its mobile racing title, KartRider Rush+, featuring the popular animation 'Catch! Teenieping'. The series follows Princess Romi of the Emotion Kingdom as the protagonist embarks on a whimsical journey to track down and catch the magical 'Teeniepings', each brimming with unique emotions and distinct personalities.

The update introduces a suite of items themed around the franchise, led by the fan-favourite character Hachuping. You can now get behind the wheel of the new Legendary speed kart, 'Hachuping', alongside the 'Fancy Heart' character and the 'Dianaping' flying pet. More additions are scheduled for July 30th, when the 'Eclipseping' pet and the matching Legendary item kart will join the fray.

Nexon is also running a host of events to mark the occasion. Until August 19th, you can earn fragments by completing daily missions such as logging in, winning multiplayer races, or triumphing in ranked matches. These fragments are tradeable for exclusive gear like the Hachuping Skid (permanent) and the Hachuping Aura (permanent). Furthermore, logging in for a cumulative total of 3 days nets you 5 Teenieping Wish Stones, while 5 days of play rewards you with 5 Teenieping Costume Paints.

If you are feeling particularly social, participating in the YouTube channel subscription verification event grants you an exclusive Hachuping profile picture and a bespoke collaboration wallpaper. Uploading a screenshot of your avatar sporting the new gear to the gallery with the designated hashtag unlocks an 'Eclipseping' profile icon, and those racking up enough 'likes' will be entered into a draw for Google gift codes and official Teenieping merchandise.

But wait, there is more. From July 23rd to August 19th, additional missions including daily log-ins, spending 10 minutes in-game, and participating in ranked or multiplayer sessions will yield even more fragments. These can be exchanged for a permanent 'Sappunping' profile picture or sticker boxes containing four distinct stickers featuring Hachuping, Sappunping, Dianaping, and Eclipseping.
