Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing is an upcoming game for the Nintendo DS and Wii, set for release in 2010. It will star various Sega stars in a kart racing game, combining features of Sega Superstars Tennis with the Sonic Racing series. Multiplayer mode will feature up to four players and online mode will feature up to eight. The game will also be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

Gameplay
Players will choose one of twenty Sega characters to participate in a race on various Sega-themed courses. Vehicles vary by character and have advantages or disadvantages depending on the course.

Special items will be placed around the track, such as turbos, traps, or weapons. They will be acquired by driving through special item cases similar to those in recent Sonic games.

Much like Sueprstars Tennis, each character has a special ability to put him or her at an advantage.

Steering will vary by system. While little is known about gameplay thus far, it can be assumed that the PS3 and 360 versions will be steered using the analog sticks while accelleration and braking among other features will implement the ABXY buttons. The Wii version will most likely use the remote in a steering feature similar to Mario Kart Wii, using the Wii Wheel if preferred. The trigger on the back of the remote will likely be used for items. The 360's triggers will likely be used for items as well as jumping. The DS version will most likely use the D-pad for most characters while using the stylus for characters like Tails. Much like the 360 and PS3, the DS will likely impliment the ABXY buttons for accelleration and breaking among other features while using the L&amp;R buttons as triggers for items or jumping.
