There is also a reward of three extra racetracks for those that get to the end, making the total twenty-one. Some of the challenges can be tough and with the ranking system, those who want top marks will have quite a bit to do. Most of the cutscenes involve cutouts of the characters with some empty dialogue. I did find the game’s story mode pretty lacking. The others were more about celebrating all of Sega, while this is a racer focused on Sonic and his crew. There are a lot of modes to play within Team Sonic Racing, but it may feel smaller in scope compared to Sumo Digital’s previous games. It’s a subtle touch that makes a world of difference.
When performing specific actions like drafting the music also fades out for a moment and then comes back in when the boost activates. I got a little bored of the main theme but the rest of the music is really fun with rocking lead guitar riffs and jazzy solos. More ingrained fans will probably find more references than I but know that there are lots of wisps involved as power-ups from Sonic Colors and Zavok from Sonic Lost World is a playable racer.Īside from the interesting twist on kart racing, Team Sonic Racing really nails it with its soundtrack. I especially enjoyed the Ocean View track as it evokes the classic whale segment of Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Tracks are colorful and also capture Sonic’s history of games. It’s not the tinkering found in other more serious arcade racers like some of the classic Need for Speed games but it’s a fun way to adjust styles of play. Parts can then be added to create easy to select loadouts, as well as decals and colors.

There are unlockable car parts that are unlocked by spending coins to pop open mod pods, which are basically free loot boxes without the industry crushing capitalism. I found it fun to ride around as four chaos and it is hilarious to see the large Omega in a cramped buggy. The cast is a pretty good spread of characters from throughout Sonic’s weird and zany history from Blaze to Eggman to everyone’s favorite fisherman Big the Cat. There are 15 playable characters with three character classes: speed, power, and technique. The ultimate can be hard to control as the speed shift is sudden but with proper timing, it can be a game changer on the track. Doing these actions builds up an ultimate ability that grants invincibility and a major blast of speed. Sonic and pals are able to draft behind their team members for a boost, boost them after taking a hit from a power-up or obstacle, or pass items to each other. The main mechanic here is the team races that pits various teams of three racers against each other with the game determining a winning team by adding up all of the racer’s final positions. Of course most Switch players likely already have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on hand or digitally but for those starting to get bored with Nintendo’s flagship racer, Team Sonic Racing has some differences that are fun and intuitive. We played Team Sonic Racing on the Switch, which seems like one of the most appealing ways to play the game because having a fairly casual racing experience on the go is one of the best things that the Switch offers. However, Team Sonic Racing’s team mechanics and brilliant approach to time trials just might be enough for players to give it a shot. Truthfully though a giant looms over any go-kart racer, Mario Kart, and on the Switch it’s undoubtedly the game that Team Sonic Racing will be regularly compared to. This is the same group that has been making waves with their previous Sega racing games, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing as well as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, both of which did pretty well with fans. Blasting onto racetracks on all consoles and PC, Team Sonic Racing has arrived from Sumo Digital to take a unique spin on the kart racing genre with team-focused racing.
