Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

While Mario Kart has made the leap to an open racing world on the Switch 2 (Mario Kart World), Sega's Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds remains a classic arcade racing game that is also family-friendly. Nevertheless, the game introduces new ideas, such as the eponymous 'CrossWorlds', which players can access by passing through travel rings on the track. These portals teleport drivers to different worlds in real time, changing the tracks and environments during the race. The controls and driving experience adapt to the new world with each change: the vehicle automatically switches between a car, a watercraft, or a flying object depending on the track's surface. Each form has its own unique driving feel. The lead driver also has the special ability to decide which CrossWorld the group will switch to next at certain points in the race, making the races dynamic and varied.
