Would never have thought of interpreting the theme this way, damn creative for sure. Really fun submission, I LOVE White Dragon Crossroads, especially the last part with the sudden slow down and speed up again, OH BOY! It slaps. HARD.

Description
We made a kart racer where you drive on the dragons
When the world discovered dragons, their awe and wonder soon turned to boredom, and it wasn't long before we started looking for creative ways to put them to use. Due to their massive scale, dragons are used as racetracks for the world's zaniest kart racer. You and your competitors now race for the chance to compete on the legendary White Dragon, the most famous and difficult course of all time.
1. Sea Dragon Speedway
A lower-stakes track that serves as your introduction to the league. This course doesn't pose the risk of falling out of the sky, but you still need to make sure your kart is equipped to deal with driving underwater. Although the sea dragon has relatively predictable movement, you still shouldn't underestimate this track, as its long serpentine body leaves your opponents many opportunities to sabotage you.
2. Twin Abyssal Wyrms
This track represents a sharp difficulty curve. Keeping up with the wyrms' vertical movement and knowing when to jump from one to the other are vital skills. Being creatures of the abyss, the wyrms are easily startled when brought under the azure sky for league races, making their movement particularly erratic.
3. White Dragon Crossroads
Given that this dragon is believed to have been worshipped as a god by multiple lost civilizations, it should come as no surprise that the white dragon is the most intimidating track in the league. Its length is more than double that of any other course thus far, and it actively seeks to blast the racers on its body with its fire breath. Anyone who bests this challenge will be remembered for centuries as a racing champion.
4. Polychrome Wyvern
After beating the white dragon, you didn't feel the sense of accomplishment you were hoping for, so you decided that there must be a greater challenge out there somewhere. You left the league in search of wild dragons to race on, eventually discovering a fearsome beast unknown to the rest of humanity. You spend the rest of your career racing on this dragon, constantly striving to beat your best time, dancing eternally in the azure sky.
Theme
Chronicles of the Azure Sky: The White Dragon's Melody
How does it fit the theme?
Every individual race track is a dragon, and the White Dragon is like the final challenge. Most of the game takes place in the (azure) sky.
