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. 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. 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. However, Team Sonic Racing’s team mechanics and brilliant approach to time trials just might be enough for players to give it a shot.

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. 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. 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. 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. Doing these actions builds up an ultimate ability that grants invincibility and a major blast of speed. 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. Mark of the Deep

There are 15 playable characters with three character classes: speed, power, and technique. 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. I found it fun to ride around as four chaos and it is hilarious to see the large Omega in a cramped buggy. 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. Parts can then be added to create easy to select loadouts, as well as decals and colors. 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.
