Each level is filled with shortcuts and alternate routes and it’ll take several replays before you find them all. Even the Sonic stages, which you might expect to be the safest of the bunch, are filled with creative flourishes - from the barrier-free ribbon of undulating track in Galactic Parade that feels like a Rainbow Road tribute act to the crumbling masonry of Sanctuary Falls. An AfterBurner-themed stage sees you soar through skies before swooping down and drifting around an aircraft carrier, ready to line up your next take-off, while a Golden Axe track sees you plunging into a sea of gloopy orange lava. This makes for some truly adventurous tracks, many of which are entirely different on the second and third laps. At various scripted points the track will disappear beneath your wheels as Sega whispers in its best Doc Brown voice: “where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” You’ll hear a few brief metallic whirrs and clanks, accompanied by a vaguely familiar, Hasbro-baiting sound and your vehicle will either take to the skies or speed across the surface of the clearest, bluest waters you’ve seen since Wave Race. Journey through the All-Stars' world to take on a huge range of modes and challenges, including Grand Prix, Battle arenas and an incredible world tour.That’s because a good deal of the time you spend racing won’t be on a solid surface. Old rivalries can be settled and new ones created in up to 8 player online.The All-Star Moves also return, this time the more daring and stylishly you race, the more your All-Star meter increases allowing you to unleash carnage on your opponents!


It's not just your fellow racers you need to watch out for, as the road falls away beneath you, or the river runs dry, new routes emerge and your vehicle transforms to take advantage of the terrain. Master your driving skills as you drift, barrel role and boost to overtake your rivals, or use your weapons tactically and unleash your All-Star move to gain the winning advantage. Compete across land, water and air in incredible transforming vehicles that change from cars to boats to planes mid-race. Sonic and the All-Stars cast line up on the starting grid once again to battle for supremacy in the ultimate race.
