Sonic Racing is a solid, colorful kart racer that does a great job bringing the 'Team' mechanic to mobile. The visuals are bright and run smoothly, even during intense multiplayer matches. While it might not have the complexity of Mario Kart, the team-sharing aspect adds a layer of strategy that you don't often see in the genre.
I really enjoyed the character variety—playing as a 'Power' type like Knuckles feels noticeably different from a 'Speed' type like Sonic. The multiplayer is the heart of the game, and finding a good team makes the experience significantly more fun. It’s a great pick for quick sessions or competing with friends online.
15 playable characters from 3 distinct types
Real-time 4v4 multiplayer battles
Extensive car customization and upgrades
Classic Sonic tracks with modern visuals
Team-based scoring and power-up sharing
Winning isn't just about being first; it's about helping your team. Use the item-sharing mechanic to give your speed-boost Wisps to teammates who are falling behind to ensure your collective team score stays high.
Wisps act as your primary offensive and defensive tools. Collect them from boxes on the track to launch rockets, drop oil slicks, or gain a burst of speed. Timing your Team Overdrive is key to turning the tide in the final lap.
It's a separate game built specifically for mobile/Apple Arcade, but it shares the team-based mechanics and many assets from the console version.
