Overview

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is Sega’s answer to the mascot kart racer, built by Sumo Digital, the studio that had already thrown Sega’s cast onto a tennis court in Sega Superstars Tennis. It arrived on Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and PC in February 2010, and as the name suggests, Sonic’s world gets top billing: his gang fills a big slice of the roster and three of the eight race locations come from Sonic Heroes.

Everyone else is pure Sega nostalgia. AiAi rolls up in a banana, B.D. Joe brings his Crazy Taxi, Ulala glides in from Space Channel 5 and Opa-Opa simply is his own vehicle. Each racer gets a car, bike or hovercraft, the tracks are littered with items to fire and drop, and drifting or pulling off a stunt in the air earns a boost. Fall behind and the game hands you an All-Star Move, a short-lived super power such as Super Sonic.

Critics were kind to it, with IGN and GameSpot both scoring it 8 out of 10, and it passed a million copies within weeks. It also set up a bigger, louder sequel: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Quick Answers

The short answers, with the detail further down the page.

Plot / Story

There is no plot here, and that is rather the point. All-Stars Racing is a celebration: Sega’s heroes, villains and oddballs line up on one starting grid, on circuits built from the places they made famous, and the only question is who crosses the line first. The single-player game is split into Grand Prix cups, Single Race, Time Trial and a long list of Missions, while friends can fight it out in split screen or online.

How a race works

Every racer drives one of three kinds of machine. Cars differ in weight and speed and take to some surfaces better than others; bikes accelerate quickly and can trick on the ground for extra boost, but heavier rivals shove them around; hovercraft ignore the terrain and can chain several tricks after a jump, at the cost of loose handling and slow acceleration.

Boost is earned, not just collected. Hold a drift and the longer it lasts the bigger the boost when you let go, and stunts in mid-air pay out too. Items work like rock, paper, scissors, with some able to block others, and when you are lucky enough to grab three of a kind you can fire the whole set at once.

The great leveller is the All-Star Move. Run near the back and your character gets a personal super power, from Sonic turning Super to AiAi rolling off in his monkey ball, and the further behind you are the longer it lasts. The moves are disabled online, which Sumo blamed on network lag.

Items on the track

Ten pick-ups are scattered round each circuit: the High Speed Shoe (a burst of speed), the K.O. Glove (fired straight ahead, bouncing off walls), the homing Rocket, the Mine, a one-hit Shield, a Giant Rocket you detonate yourself, the Mega Horn shock wave, the Confusing Star that flips a rival’s screen upside down, the Pocket Rainbow that dazzles whoever drives into it, and the Bowling Bomb. Shoes, gloves, rockets, mines and bombs can all come as a set of three.

Modes and Sega Miles

Racing earns Sega Miles, the game’s currency, which you spend in an in-game shop on new characters, tracks and music; many of the racers start locked. Up to four players can share a screen in Race, Knockout, King of the Hill, Grab and Capture the Chao, and the console versions take eight players online. The DS version handles four online, while the PC release shipped with split screen only.

The 24 tracks

Eight locations, three tracks each, all drawn from Sega games: three from Sonic Heroes, plus Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Samba de Amigo, Jet Set Radio Future and The House of the Dead.

Who made it

Names from Wikipedia and Sega Retro.

How it was made

Sega announced the game on 28 May 2009, and Sumo spent the following months showing it off at fan events before a February 2010 launch.

From the tennis court to the track

Fresh from Sega Superstars Tennis, Sumo Digital wanted to make a racer next, and the studio already knew Sega driving games from its work on recent Out Run titles. The All-Star Moves came across from the tennis game.

The prototype where Sonic ran

Sumo’s earliest build was a mixed bag of transport. Sonic simply ran, Eggman’s ride was a legged Egg Pod, Tails had his biplane and Amy her car, while Golden Axe’s dwarf warrior Gilius sat on a Chickenleg. The mix did not survive testing: the racers were wildly different sizes and drifting made no sense for someone on foot. Sumo put the whole roster into cars, bikes and flying machines instead.

Who did not make the cut

Several names came close. Mario was briefly considered as a Wii exclusive before Sega decided against crossing him over outside the Olympic series. ToeJam & Earl were meant to drive their spaceship, but talks with the duo’s creators ran out of time. Segata Sanshiro, the Saturn’s martial-arts mascot, was discussed with a Sega Saturn as his vehicle, and Lycett mentioned Skies of Arcadia’s Vyse in an interview. Gilius and Vyse finally got their seats in the sequel.

Banjo, Avatars and Miis

Each console got something of its own. Rare worked with Sumo to put Banjo and Kazooie on the Xbox 360, sharing its asset library and designing and modelling their car itself, and the Xbox version also let players race as their Avatars. Wii owners got their Miis.

Demos and fan events

Lycett and lead designer Travis Ryan took questions at Summer of Sonic 2009, where fans could play the PS3 demo already shown at Comic-Con. France got the first hands-on with the DS version, at a press event on 25 November 2009. Free demos followed on Xbox Live on 8 February 2010, on the Wii’s Nintendo Channel (for the DS version) on 15 February and on the PlayStation Store on 18 February.

Music

Music is something you earn. Every track starts with a single song, and the rest of its playlist, from old Sega favourites to newly written songs, is bought with Sega Miles. The composers and arrangers are listed under the people who made it, above; the DS game has its own arrangements of the music.

Downloadable content

Producer Omar Woodley confirmed add-ons for Xbox 360 and PS3; the Wii missed out because of storage limits. PAL players who pre-ordered got a version of Ryo Hazuki who drives his forklift full time, and that racer went on general sale on 1 April 2010. Xbox 360 owners could also buy an unlock-everything pass (16 March 2010) and Avatar clothes and props (25 March). The big one was Metal Sonic, bundled with a Death Egg course. Sonic Retro’s DLC table has it out in the UK and Europe first, on 1 April 2010; North American Xbox Live players got it on 8 April, and the North American PlayStation Store followed on 22 April.

Firsts: what this game introduced

What this game brought to the Sega All-Stars series.

Glitches, exploits and oddities

Our sources document no famous bugs, but the different versions have some odd quirks.

No super powers online

All-Star Moves are switched off in online races. Sonic Retro puts it down to “bandwidth issues”; Wikipedia calls it network latency.

The PC version’s missing online mode

The Windows release could only be played against friends in split screen. Sonic Retro notes that online racing was added later in the Mac OS X version.

One driver per car on DS

The DS cartridge drops the passengers: Zobio, Jacky, Chuih and Mobo race on their own, and Jacky’s All-Star Move was changed because Akira is missing. Several DS courses were also reworked from the console layouts.

No downloads for Wii

Metal Sonic and the forklift never reached the Wii. Steve Lycett said there was not enough storage space for downloadable content on that console.

Trivia & facts

• Mario very nearly raced. He was considered as a Wii-only character before Sega and Nintendo agreed that their crossovers belonged in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

• 

  The three Sonic locations, Seaside Hill, Casino Park and Final Fortress, are all stages from Sonic Heroes.
• NiGHTS is in the game, but not as a racer: after a fan campaign Sumo made the character the flagman who starts each race.

• 

  The downloadable Death Egg track hides a cameo from Ristar, Sega’s star-shaped platform hero.
• Segata Sanshiro, the Sega Saturn’s martial-arts mascot, was discussed as a racer who would have driven a Sega Saturn.

• 

  The European DS box advertises “19 favourite characters” and 24 tracks for up to four players.
• Japan never got the console versions; it had the mobile ones instead, the iPhone and iPad game on 24 November 2011 (¥400) and an Android release in September 2013.
• On Xbox 360 the full title is “Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie”.

The arcade and mobile versions

The 2011 arcade cabinet trimmed the game to 13 characters and 13 tracks and added a ticket payout. The phone versions were a bigger story: Wikipedia says the iOS game passed 16.7 million downloads across North America and Europe by 2013, a figure that includes a week in June 2012 when it was free. A separate Java version for older phones carried 10 characters and 8 tracks.

Transformed

Sega confirmed a sequel to Kotaku at New York’s 2012 Toy Fair, where it also showed toys based on the game, and named it on 30 April 2012: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, again by Sumo Digital, with cars that turn into boats and planes. Gilius and Vyse, both cut from this game, finally got to race.

Sales & reviews

Sales

Sega’s investor figures put the game at 1.07 million copies across PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS by March 2010, only about five weeks after launch. Sonic Retro links the Sega IR report the number comes from.

• 1.07mCopies by March 2010 (four consoles)
• 16.7miOS downloads, North America and Europe, by 2013
• 78Metacritic, Wii and DS
• 89Metacritic, iOS

Reviews

Every publication in Wikipedia’s cited review table, one bar each (32 scores across six platforms). Where an outlet scored versions differently, the bar shows its average and the label lists each score. The mean of all 32 scores is 77%. Metacritic scores were 78 (Wii and DS), 77 (PS3), 75 (Xbox 360), 65 (PC) and 89 (iOS).

Most critics enjoyed it. IGN summed it up as “a clone that gets it right”, GameSpot liked how tightly it handled and how well the tracks were laid out, and GameTrailers also gave it 8.0. GamesMaster rated it the best kart racer on Xbox 360 and PS3 while noting that it had not quite toppled Mario Kart.

The grumbles were about depth. Kotaku enjoyed the nostalgia but wished the tracks and music dug as far into Sega’s back catalogue as the roster did, and GamesRadar found the weapons unimaginative. The handheld versions split opinion: GamesMaster gave the DS game 70% and Nintendo Power 6/10, while the later iOS version won 5/5 from Pocket Gamer.
