Luckily, your AI teammates won’t fail you. Actually, your team’s position in the standings is ultimately the most important factor overall and decides whether you’re going to win the cup or not. You’re of course at the center of the team and your teammates are largely there to offer you support, although racers are ranked by both individual and team-based performance. That said, since it was a limited demo, there’s a good chance I didn’t experience everything courses will have to offer in the final product.Īs a solo experience (and I suspect that the game’s Team Adventure campaign is going to be delightful), the team gameplay really works. Items, which are also based on Wisps, simply lack the gusto of Mario’s dreaded blue shell or the impervious star power. Power-ups, which involve a combination of projectiles and speed boosts, are less successful due to the fact that there’s just not enough variety.
Drifting, for example, feels really good once you get the hang of it, a smooth way to get a speed boost during a winding turn. It’s enough to pick up the flavor of Team Sonic Racing‘s gameplay, though. To be fair, Sega offered a relatively short demo: one race on one course (inspired by the Planet Wisp Zone from Sonic Colors), three laps. At the very least, I couldn’t stop playing even after my E3 demo was over. Yet, there’s something really charming about Sonic and friends zipping through race tracks inspired by Zones from the platformer series, this time in teams of three that protect, boost, and help each other to the finish line. On the surface, Team Sonic Racing may very well be a Mario Kart clone with all the bells and whistles offered by Nintendo’s racer - including power-ups, weapons, and even a drifting ability - but with the Sonic family of characters. It’s difficult not to make the obvious comparison. Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing specifically come to mind, and now Sega’s latest Sonic endeavor, Team Sonic Racing, may be joining that list. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been other landmark karting games to give Mario a run for his money.

It’s for good reason: the game is basically perfect, a showcase of everything the series has done right since it first appeared on the SNES. For the last few years, Mario Kart 8 has been the undisputed champion of video game kart racing.
