Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a racing game produced for Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Microsoft Windows, featuring characters from many Sega franchises, as well as guest characters.

It is being published by Sega and developed by Sumo Digital. It was announced on May 28, 2009 and was released in North America on February 23, 2010 and in Europe on February 26, 2010, with the PC version available both from retail and via Steam.

A mobile version is also being developed by GameLoft.

Gameplay

The game is a mascot kart racing game, very similar to other games in its genre like Mario Kart, Konami Krazy Racers and Crash Team Racing.

Characters race through various race circuits themed on different Sega franchises and collect power-ups to boost their speed or hamper their opponents.

Additional boost can be earned by successfully executing drifts (with longer drifts earning more boost), or performing tricks while in midair.

Playable Characters

At the start of the game, players can play as Sonic, Tails, Dr Eggman, Shadow, Amy, AiAi, Amigo and Billy Hatcher, as well as any console exclusive characters.

Other characters are unlocked after purchasing them with Sega Miles.
