Pac-Man Joins The 'Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' Roster Later This Week

Can confirm this runs beautifully on S2, and looking forward to playing as the Great Old Devourer!

Played CrossWorlds for the first time yesterday. Pretty fun. Was not expecting it to be as challenging as it is.
Currently don't know how to feel about the rubberbanding, it feels like it takes a full lap of impeccable driving + a King Boom Boo just to catch up to your rival, but all it takes is one stray item for you to slow to a crawl and lose 7 positions. But I've only just started so it could be a skill issue.

The game is fantastic and looks gorgeous on the Switch 2. My only complaint is the online mode, which is plagued by bots and the lack of lobbies, forcing you to wait a minute after each race to find new player, unlike Mario Kart.

Excited to jump back into the single player with this DLC. A new GP to beat, red rings to collect and time trials to get A ranks in.

Won’t be bothering with the online Festival event that happens this weekend though, will be playing Splatfest and FF Tactics during that timespan.

Oh the mutant mayhem version of turtles, oh well not the best interpretation oh them but hey it is a kids game so whatever

I love Pac Man so can't wait to play the new track. Kirby Air Riders sucks by the way.

@Nintendontyouknow lol, love the concluding jibe 🤣

This is the only DLC in the season pass that I have any real interest in. Pac-Man not only had his own racing game (World Rally) but also crossed over with Mario in them (Arcade GP series and technically MK8 as a Mii suit) so this fits better than the others.

@Kingy There's a lot of turns where taking your foot of the gas is necessary even on lower speeds compared to Mario Kart. Aside from that, even without learning shortcuts or the best paths, just learning the tracks, items, & gadgets is enough.

@Sindayl Do you have CrossPlay off? Virtually everyone plays with it on since it's the default, and it's been a known thing that so few people play with it off that people use it to purposefully get Bot Lobbies to increase their Rank easily.

@shoeses
It’s a kart racer you should never want to take your foot off the gas, Sumo’s games nailed this aspect. In Mario Kart you never have to do this even on 200CC it’s why it has brake drifting.

@SalvorHardin It has brake drifting though. You can do either, it's just a preference of which one you find easier or more effective for you.

@shoeses crossplay is on for me 😌

I got this on Xbox as a Christmas present. (Digital Deluxe). I don’t like the rubber banding feels like someone thought that was a good part of Mario Kart. Only trying on the last lap is not a strategy that makes for a fun game for me. Getting the hang of the gadget where if you do a Switch drift you get a full boost level is seeming fun though.

Pac! I was surprised when he was first announced.. between Pac-Man, TMNT (Rogen turtles though... bleh.) and Avatar, this DLC seemed tailor made for me. Looking forward to his stage, shame the DLC characters feel so cheap with the lack of voice acting though.

got it last week by combining the sw1 version deluxe discounted, and the sw2 upgrade.. got the deluxe because of the nice dlc pics...
really needing aiai though

@JR150 yup, will play to mk gp on my Wii to celebrate... sonic
CW racing feels quite like those mario kart arcade games

@Sindayl weird how it searchesa for a new lobby everytime... feels so stupid..
