Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds: Full Character Roster - Every Racer Confirmed So Far

You forgot Zazz which is the last of the 23 confirmed characters on the website!

Is anyone excited for Zazz? I have to wonder

Storm makes this a must buy!

@Liam_Doolan I'm fully aware that this is off-topic, so feel free to smite me, but is there a reason beyond "because I wanna" for you not using your photo as your comment avatar?

@SintasSays you better bet your bottom dollar that im playing no one BUT zazz zazz is the best sonic character ever designed

@epicgamner King.

Charmy is confirmed 100%, someone spotted him in some footage.

I am happy with the character roster.

I hope I can race as the mad dog himself, Goro Majima. Throw Ichiban in there too😁

Beside Ape Escape the highlight of this State of Play.

@SintasSays
The jobber six and knockoff Scratch and Grounder really should have been let go when they had the chance, the later’s appearance in Shadow Gen was probably the worst part of that game.

I need Ray and Mighty from Sonic Mania, even if they're only Tails and Knuckles clones. 💛 ❤️

Can't wait to check the air and water physics and controls, that were a lot of fun in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, compared to the dull equivalents in Mario Kart 8. I'm also curious about what non-Sonic content will be added. Sonic is my favourite Sega franchise, but I like what they did in the past, except the addition of a Non-Sega human driver... :S

some of the characters without pics
can be found in the trailer, with a car
Egg Pawn & Charmy - when Knuckles takes the corner in the beginning
Zavok & Espio - when Sonic is racing towards the dinosaur
Wave - very briefly, after the Eggman hitting Vector clip, she's behind Sonic
Storm - when Sonic is going downhill in Chao Park

The last one was one of the most disappointing sequels I've ever played, coming after the brilliance of Transformed. Here's hoping this is a return to form.

So, theyre highlighting how they'll include SEGA characters, yet they couldn't show any?

Transformed is one of my all-time favorite racing games, please do right by it this time.

What are the chances this releases right before Mario kart, like how the last one launched right before Crash team racing, hurting its performance?

@SintasSays
I am. He and Zavok bring some much-needed variety to the roster. Not only are they among the few villains, but they’re also among the rare characters who aren’t just DeviantArt furry bait.

I'd be surprised if this manages to have a character roster as impressive as the CTR remake.

there will be "23 racers at launch" and a "ton more on the way".
So does that mean wait for the ultimate edition then?

@drypaphmrbro got big opinions on avatars, do ya?

I’ve never picked up any of the Sonic racing games despite being a massive sonic fan as I’ve been only interested in mario kart but this one’s intrigued me! Especially as Vector is in it! (Not sure if he was in previous racing games or not)

Be great if they added Ray, Mighty, Sticks and Fang as well as those announced/expected.

Just wanted to add something regarding Team Sonic Racing. The team racing mode is not much fun playing without friends, but you can also play the game without teams like a traditional racer and it has a challenge mode like its predecessor.

@OneArmedGiant Sega is not releasing definitive editions and when they do is extra content available for purchase, like Sonic Origins Plus. There are two possibilities here:

1) Extra content will be added for free.

2) Paid content will be available.

thankfully there aren't a ton of babies or koopalings in this roster. I wonder if they will add more obscure characters from the franchise

@Liam_Doolan Fair enough!
@LikelySatan: Let a guy be a nosy see you next Tuesday!

@SpringDivorce agreed Transformed is brilliant, this looks damn promising. Obviously you love Outrun as well. An absolute classic 👌

@Banjo- I have faith in Sega so I’m hoping for option 1.🤞🏻

@OneArmedGiant I think it's more likely, yes. 😊

There's Sonic Prime skins (characters?) coming. I wonder if anything from the comics could show up...

I'd love to see Red and Blue from Gunstar Heroes make it in. They weren't in either of the All Stars game and it would be cool for them to finally be included.

No one from Golden Axe or Streets of Rage made it in either so it would be cool to get some representation there.

Never played a Sonic racing game besides maybe riders. Think I might give this one a go. If it is like Mario Kart then I'd probably enjoy it

Probably a pipe dream at this point but I’d like to see them add Surge from the IDW comic series.

I'm trying the network test to see if I like it enough to drop 90$ on.
Never played a sonic game, I'm just here for Minecraft Steve vs Miku tbh

That's good and all, but there will be a way to get Werehog that isn't the pre-order bonus, right? I'm not really the greatest fan of pre-order bonuses because of the potential of missing out on game content if you don't get the game on launch day.

Geez, I wonder if the people that see anti-consumer practice in everything Nintendo does are gonna bat en eye on this one 🙄

Judging by the comment section : nope.
The game is not out yet but we already have paid DLC.

@Oldstalk
Ngl I'm not a fan of the roster choices or the price. 90 bucks for a Sonic game for DLC that doesn't even have Sonic characters is disappointing.

I would genuinely take Mephiles, Infinite, and even Elise--yes, that Elise from 06--over all these crossovers I don't care about. I want Sonic characters in my Sonic game.

It's weird that Sonic is keeping the Deadly 6 canon despite their popularity being weak and that Lost World was a relative flop.

While not completely what I had in mind. I was mainly hoping for Sonics end we'd get what we got in Crossworlds, but add deeper cuts like Tikal and Chaos from SA1, Sally and Tangled, maybe classic era from the hooligans, mighty and ray. With a handful of Sega IPs. Though that all is still possible depending on what's picked for the free guests.
And I overall take what's going on so far with Nickelodeon and the TMNT over Mario Kart World going after a sea of generic minions and creatures while cutting the bosses, kongs and koopalings.

@Axecon This is the same company that included levels from Sonic 06 into Sonic and Shadow Generations.

We definitely need Banjo Kazooie back in this game series!

And how about Goemon from Mystical Ninja?
