A PlayStation 3 demo was also available for attendees to play. The game was showcased at E3 2009, where it was stated that the final version of the game will have over 20 different characters.Īt Summer of Sonic 2009 Steve Lycett, Executive Producer and Travis Ryan, Lead Designer of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing were present for a Q&A. There will also be a Grand Prix mode and a Mission mode. The game will have customizable multiplayer options for up to four players on split-screen and eight players online, including Free Races and Arena Modes. All of the vehicles also have their own specific engine sounds.īy playing through the game, players can earn Sega Miles that can be spent in the in-game shop to unlock additional content such as characters, tracks, art and songs. Hovercraft are not affected by any terrain and are able to perform multiple boosts after a jump, but they are unable to drift and have low acceleration. The opposite is true for off-road type vehicles.

For example, racing-type vehicles perform best on hard surfaces such as wood or concrete, but are hampered by soft terrain such as mud, sand or snow. As the terrain on the tracks will vary, vehicles can be either assisted or hindered by the surfaces they drive upon. Vehicles are separated into four different categories: racing, off-road, bike and hovercraft. Like Sumo's previous Sega game, Sega Superstars Tennis, each character has a special ability (called an 'All-Star Move') unique to them that they may use to their advantage (such as Sonic transforming into Super Sonic and AiAi riding in a monkey ball), which they can obtain if they are running behind in the race. Additional boost can be earned by successfully executing drift turns, or performing tricks whilst in midair. Characters race through various race circuits themed on different Sega franchises and collect power-ups to boost their speed or hamper their opponents. 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.
