Reminder: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Another Free Guest Character Today

Waiting for Sega to announce Danica Patrick and make her the worst racer in the game, because she has to follow the laws of physics.

I really don't like crossover characters. It makes everything feel janky and inconsistent to have just a regular man racing alongside Spongebob and Hatsune Miku in a Sonic racer. I'm glad MKW did away with the MK8DX's crossover characters, quite frankly.

@UpsideDownRowlet There's one without crossover and low budget and it's for you.

Team Sonic Racing

@Erigen seems like being lighter would be an advantage, I know it takes a a lot of strength and endurance to drive those cars for hours on end. I mean being lighter is better for jockeys.

Haha and i seriously thought we got a new like a dragon game haha.

Assume he's available outside the 5 days?

Lipstick for men

@SlimeDragon festival events are just online gameplay modes. Characters are automatically added to the roster forever when you turn the game on.

@Sonicka cool thanks! Waiting on the Switch 2 release but didn't wanna miss out

@SlimeDragon no worries 🙂 but yeah, all the free SEGA IP characters, music, and karts they are providing you’ll receive as soon as you turn the game on 😉

Is he going to be mute like the other guest characters and alt skins? It makes them feel cheap, like in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 1.

Can we have the switch 2 update instead

@Sindayl To be fair, the only thing that’s really interesting with the voices is the offline GP rival interactions which are a very minimal part of most people’s experience with the game.

Even when I was playing the GP mode I found myself irritated because I didn’t want to always swap my racer out to hear a lot of different ones, and although there are a few deep cut references here and there, there are a ton of super boring mute interactions too.

The majority of the game’s voices are your character’s clips being constantly cut off with “ye-aweso-yea-jammin!!” as they do flips throughout the races.

So far the sound effects for the characters who use them have been absolutely sufficient for me, for what it’s worth to anyone on the fence. To be honest, I really wouldn’t want to hear Spongbob’s voice all the time while racing anyway.

Keep trying, Sega. You'll beat Mario Kart eventually.

I decided to buy this game for my PS4. Being that I wanted a physical copy, but Sega of America decided to go digital only for the PS4, I bought a European import. It wasn't until I opened it and saw the card about more characters, vehicles, and tracks coming soon that I realized I may have goofed. I'm not sure I can get any of that being that I have an "out of region" copy. I'm not big on crossover characters... Why is a Yakusa guy in a Sonic game? But I would like to get additional tracks. And responding to the last poster @calbeau, I honestly thought they did beat Mario Kart with AST on Wii U. That game was amazing.

Fair addition. Bit safe though. Also what a crossover. Never appeared in prior ones but still. Similiar audience no but either way.

We won't see any Valkyria Chronciels characters any time soon. Then again to many it would be like seeing many Fire Emblem characters in Smash comparison for sure there. XD

Wonder If Joker will notice this guy's life is startlingly similar to that Dragon: Like a Yakuza movie he watched with Makoto.

Ryo Hazuki in a forklift or we riot.

...well, I'll riot, anyway. Me and the other weirdos who enjoyed Shenmue III. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I mean, even if we're only two dozen strong, that's still technically "dozens"... two is still technically- okayfine. Blah. I bummed myself out a little with my own dumb joke, haha... 🙄.

I mean technically Ichiban is not a member of the Yakuza. He's a billionaire Confectionist and resort owner.
