While I am definitely a Sonic apologist, I acknowledge that the little blue fella’s output has been less than stellar in the last 20 years. For every highlight, like a Sonic Mania, there’s been countless lowlights, like Sonic 4, Sonic Forces, and Guns For Some Reason Sonic. Funnily enough, over the last decade, the literally quick on his feet hedgehog has been at his most consistent when behind the wheel of a car.

Team Sonic Racing power-slides into stores todayhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-speeds-onto-pc-todayDominic TarasonTue, 21 May 2019 15:32:13 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-speeds-onto-pc-todayPartyTeam Sonic RacingSonic & All-Stars Racing TransformedRacingSegaSumo DigitalArcade

If we ignore the wonky Sonic R, then Sonic The Hedgehog has had a pretty good track record as far as mascot kart-racers go. Team Sonic Racing is out today and the latest from Sumo Digital, formerly of the excellent Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. This time, they've narrowed their focus a bit, swapping transforming omni-vehicles for regular cars  and focusing solely on Sonic and pals instead of the greater Sega universe. From what I've heard from folks who snagged the console version early, it's still a grand time despite missing out on Football Manager racing around Skies Of Arcadia. Below, a launch trailer.

Team Sonic Racing delayed into May 2019https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-delayed-to-may-2019Alice O'ConnorMon, 29 Oct 2018 16:37:45 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-delayed-to-may-2019delayTeam Sonic RacingRacingSegaSumo Digital

"Make haste!" Sonic is always saying, but even that zippy fella knows that too much haste will see you running face-first into a wall of spikes. And that's why Team Sonic Racing, the new spin-off racing game from the makers of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, has been delayed. Previously slated to launch this winter, the game is now due on May 21st, 2019. Team Sonic Racing seems a little less silly (and way more Sonic-y) than the crossover of All-Stars but ah g'wan, I'll wait for the hope of good karting.

On British wackiness and cooperation in Team Sonic Racinghttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-interviewMatt CoxFri, 05 Oct 2018 15:00:32 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-interviewTeam Sonic RacingRacingSegaSumo DigitalFeatureInterview

I'm no Sonichead, but I still got a kick out of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Instead of making you turn into planes and boats, Sumo Digital's new upcoming kart racer makes you turn to your friends. You race as a team of three, passing power-ups between you while boosting behind each other's bottoms.

I sat down with Team Sonic Racing design director Derek Littlewood at EGX, and asked him about how racers might feel about being dependent on other people. And maybe also opened the door for a reappearance from the Football Manager manager.

Team Sonic Racing breaks the sound barrier in trailerhttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-breaks-the-sound-barrier-in-trailerBrock WilburSun, 17 Jun 2018 21:56:34 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-breaks-the-sound-barrier-in-trailerSonic the HedgehogTeam Sonic RacingAtlusRacingSegaSumo DigitalE3 2018

Mr. Sonic the Small Blue Animal Guy With Good Rings is back into the racing circuit. It's certainly one of the lesser beloved game franchises, and I can't help but think that's because it would be ridiculous for a character whose super-power is being super-fast to trade that power for driving cars that are equally fast to all of his competitors. It just doesn't make sense, right? I mean, Sonic and Mario facing off at the Olympics was also a game, so I guess maybe logic doesn't matter here? Team Sonic Racing brings us back to the Sonic Racingverse, and I'm sure I'm in the minority, but this is that Game Content I crave. Check out the forthcoming Team Sonic Racing trailer with me.

Team Sonic Racing coming from Sonic & All-Stars devshttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-announcedAlice O'ConnorWed, 30 May 2018 15:40:54 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/team-sonic-racing-announcedSonic the HedgehogTeam Sonic RacingSonic & All-Stars Racing TransformedRacingSegaSumo Digital

Sonic is trading in his power sneakers for driving brogues again with a new kart racing game, Team Sonic Racing. Sega today announced the racer, which is coming this winter from Sumo Digital - the folks behind the unreasonably good Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Sadly, it seems Team Sonic Racing probably isn't another big wacky Sega crossover but hey, it is more racing from Sumo.
