Rovio’s Angry Birds are quickly becoming as recognizable as Super Mario, and soon they’ll have their own very own kart game to match that level of fame. The developer just released the very first gameplay trailer for Angry Birds Go, a game that takes the Angry Birds style and translates it to a 3D racing game. The game will feature upgradeable vehicles and characters with special powers, and will be free-to-play with “a whole host of modes and features included from the get-go,” according to Rovio. And like the recently launched Angry Birds Star Wars II, the game will support Hasbro’s Telepods, so that you can scan physical toys to bring them on to the virtual race track. Angry Birds Go will be launching on December 11th on iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, and Blackberry 10.
