K-Z: Hi Aryan, Leah, and Daniel! Did you learn any new skills while filming the second season? A: I learned to ride a horse! I think we all learned to ride a horse. L: My uncle has horses, so I've been a horse girl since I was young. A: In our month of prep, the stunts team brought us to Danny Virtue’s ranch (one of the greatest stuntmen in all of Canada) and he taught us to ride. One of the most memorable days of my life! K-Z: Wow, that’s a great skill! What about you Daniel, did you learn anything new in your first season as Tyson? D: I was able to learn to free dive this year. Basically that process is going around 10 metres underwater, and learning…

GREATEST OF ALL TIME Will Harris is a Boer goat with big dreams! He wants to play ‘roarball’, the extremely intense, full-contact sport played by the fastest, fiercest (and usually largest) animals in the world. When Will gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the pros in his favourite team, the Thorns, he’s determined to make his mother proud. However, Will’s teammates aren’t happy about having a goat around. Can Will change the game and become the greatest of all time? DID YOU KNOW? GOAT was made by the artists who created the Spider-Verse films and KPop Demon Hunters, and was produced by the basketball legend Stephen Curry (who voices Lenny)! PICK A SPORT AND AN ANIMAL TO JOIN YOUR TEAM! GOAT hits cinemas March 12! Shout out to all the K-Zoners…

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment tells a story hinted at in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game follows Zelda as she travels to the past, meeting the founding King and Queen of Hyrule. Zelda joins the fight against Ganondorf’s forces and tries to seal the Demon King away. The core combat is fast-paced and slick, letting you dodge, parry, and counter enemy attacks, then unleash weak-point smashes and team-up moves with other characters. You’ll fight across Hyrule’s surface, venture down into the depths, and soar to the sky islands above. There are some neat nods to Tears of the Kingdom, like using Zonai devices in combat, and Zelda’s awesome time rewind abilities. You’ll do battle as a wide array of characters, like Mineru (the King’s sister)…

Based on the Netflix series Hot Wheels Let’s Race, this game takes you into the world of the show, giving you the chance to hop behind the wheel as Coop, Spark, Mac, Brights, Axle, or Cruise! You’ll also get to pick from a range of Hot Wheels rides, from sweet speedsters to the toaster on wheels (with a ‘Toast Attack’ special) and an oversized rubber ducky! The Racing Camp mode takes you through the game’s 12 tracks in turn as you vie to be the number one racer, but you can also tackle the GP-style mode Cup Champ, or hop into the Track Builder to craft your own creations! With the four player splitscreen to try, there’s plenty of fun to be had in this fanging fast racer. All of…

HOW TO PLAY: The aim is to cross out (or cover) five squares in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row. Each time you notice a Bingo square detail in an episode from Percy Jackson and The Olympians Season 2, cross it out – or place a token, if you want to keep the Bingo board and play again. Once you get five squares in a row, you accomplish Percy Bingo! Percy Jackson and The Olympians is streaming now on Disney+! I love reading every K-Zone! Never change! – Daniel…

MAGAZINE MISHAP I was getting a poster out of K-Zone, but ended up ripping the poster and magazine. I bought it again! Liam, Vic UNLUCKY!

TECH TROUBLE Imagine a world where you could put your mind into a robotic animal body… Well, for Mabel Tanaka, that is the reality she’s living in! Scientists have invented a way to ‘hop’ human minds into lifelike animal robots, in order to research animals from a closer perspective. When Mabel uses the technology to hop into a robotic beaver, she tries to communicate with animals and save their habitat from destruction caused by a construction company. However, Mabel also uncovers mysteries in the animal world that she never could have imagined! WHICH TYPE OF ANIMAL WOULD YOU WANT TO 'HOP' INTO? Hoppers hits cinemas March 26!

▶ POKÉMON POKOPIA Animal Crossing meets Pokémon in this cosy, slice of Poké-life game. You’ll play as a Ditto disguised as a human, and will transform the world around you to help create a sanctuary for your Pokémon friends.

WONDER ON SWITCH 2 Mario’s wonderful adventure is back with new content and a new area on Nintendo Switch 2! Bellabel Park is jam-packed with multiplayer games. Sometimes you’ll be competing (like fighting it out with items), or racing to collect the most coins. Other modes have you teaming up to play hot potato with a…

Kirby Air Riders is a super speedy racer with some fun twists to set it apart from the likes of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. Instead of picking up items, you just swallow enemies to gain their abilities, letting you unleash sword swipes or fling flaming fireballs. You also have a charge button, letting you slow as you slide sideways around the corners before boosting away at speed! This game is fast and furious, and all the courses are unreal. Each of the Riders and Machines has specific stats, and on top of that are unique special attacks and driving mechanics. Want a break from racing? City Trial competitions sets all the Riders loose in an open environment to power up their own Machine before duking it out in a head-to-head. There’s…

ART ATTACK The big bad, Bowser, has been living a lowkey life lately – after Peach used a blue Mini Mushroom to shrink him in the first movie. Now, Bowser is spending time painting to impress Peach, but his anger problems still need a little work! SHOOTING STARS Peach and Mario both witness a curious cosmic event in the night sky, leading the crew of heroes to journey into outer space and across the galaxy to face off against a new foe. FAMILY FUN Speaking of slightly small Koopa Troopa royalty, Bowser Jr. will show up to take his father back. Being armed with a paintbrush is one thing, but a mega paintbrush that transforms into a heavy mace is another challenge for Mario to tackle! EXPLOSIVE ENTRANCE A new…

CHEF SHENANIGANS When Judy and Nick chase Gary at the Gala, they knock a chef hat off a lion, revealing a rat holding their mane. The Ratatouille music plays, and apparently the animator who animated the orig scene also did the Zootopia 2 scene! IT FACTOR The IT officer Paul Molebrandt is voiced by Josh Gad, AKA Olaf in Frozen! FAMILIAR FUN Zootopia 2 is a Moana and Encanto reunion! Auli’i Cravalho (Moana) is the anti-venom pen, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (Maui) is Zeke stuck in a tuba, Rachel House (Gramma Tala) is Gramma Taller the giraffe, Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel) and Wilmer Valderrama (Agustin Madrigal) are hippo officers, and John Leguizamo (Bruno) is the anteater smuggler.

▶ I’M READY Drivers, rev your fryers – and engines! Our rectangular hero, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his best starfish bud, Patrick Star, have joined the line up in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds with the SpongeBob SquarePants Pack DLC! Race through the mean streets of Bikini Bottom, visit the Krusty Krab and tear up the ocean floor in the iconic Patty Wagon. Best of all, you don’t need a license to drive a sandwich! ▶ SEA MORE The SpongeBob SquarePants Pack DLC also includes additional sounds, emotes (like SpongeBob’s iconic rainbow), and decals (including Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, and much more). While the DLC does feature SpongeBob and Patrick as playable racers, you’ll also spot some familiar faces as non-playable additions. Watch out for Squidward, Sheldon J. Plankton, and Plankton’s tank robot,…

▶ RING IN A VICTORY The main mode, ‘Ring Survival’, has three stages. You’ll need to place in the top 16 in Round 1, top eight in Round 2, then fight to finish with the most rings in Round 3. You’ll usually kick off with a Race first, and then Survival, Team, or Hunt, all before finishing up with a Ring Battle finale. ▶ RANKS BUT NO RANKS Wondering why you’re getting C or D ranks at the end of a round despite doing well? Sonic Rumble boosts your score based on how many skins and buddies you own, and their level. Our advice? Have fun playing and don’t pay too much attention to your ranks. ▶ SKILL UP Skills can definitely give you an edge, letting you do things…

Shrinking down to the size of an ant is no picnic… which is a shame because in Grounded 2, you’ll be fighting for survival in a neighbourhood park. The blades of grass tower above you like trees in a forest, and stealthy scorpions stalk you with their stingers raised high. If you didn’t play the first Grounded game, no worries – this series has plenty in common with other survival games you might have tried. You’ll need to gather resources to craft and upgrade gear, battle bugs, and build bases. Plus, you can play through it all with up to three friends. It’s pretty unreal seeing the entire world from the perspective of a truly tiny teen. You can even ride around on the back of a spider or ant!…

PAINT POWER My parents said I could paint my room any colour. We went to the paint section at Bunnings and I asked the worker ‘What is the ugliest paint colour to paint a room?’ They showed me a shiny brown-yellow that looked like vomit, and my parents were stressed but they promised I could choose! In the end, I said that I wouldn’t use that colour, and picked a blue. TEACHER TRICK Have a teacher that loves a prank? Give ‘em this idea! They need a disguise (like a wig and glasses) to wear for at least one day, maybe more. Your teacher will arrive at the beginning of the day in disguise, saying they’re a substitute and the usual teacher is sick. At some point, the teacher can…
