Jogo muito bom! Bastante divertido e bem semelhante ao Mário Kart. Ainda assim têm as suas exclusividades como é o caso dos poderes dos personagens. Personagens estes que compõem uma boa diversidade de icónicos rostos da Sega.

A handheld port of the first Sonic & SEGA racing game, and a really good one at that. The track designs have been altered to fit the DS more, ensuring it runs smoothly, but it still has the full array of tracks and characters. Even though there’s no analogue stick, the handling feels extremely solid, particularly drifting, perhaps even feeling tighter than Mario Kart DS.

It’s much harder to defend yourself from items, so you’ll be hit a lot. The best defensive weapon is a Mega Horn, which sends out a shockwave of sounds that hits opponents and destroys incoming weapons (wait, that sounds familiar…).

The DS version of the game features a completely different mission mode to the home console versions. Instead of getting rankings, you gain stars for how well you perform, and stars unlock more missions. These can be races, elimination races, shooting or avoiding obstacles, drifting or driving through rings (some of which I found difficult due to colour choices). It won’t take too long to complete them all, but getting 10 stars on all of them is definitely a big challenge.

Sega’s version of a Mario kart that’s fun in its own way. This racing game is a bunch of mixed signals IMO. The track design could be improved, the AI is shockingly good, and the controls are decent for a DS game. Overall, I somewhat enjoyed my time with this game.

I have no idea why this game was so fun despite it not being Mario Kart. I played the DS version but even that version was fun! Underrated racing game.


Another post-Mario Kart racing game but with Sega properties.

Solid af racing game. Introduced me to other SEGA franchises lol

Another Mario Kart ripoff. It feels faster, but doesn't control nearly as well. The items are also unoriginal, and clearly the selling point was having SEGA IP's rather than a decent game. Not really worth the play.

Very cool, very fun. Always felt nice to unlock every character.

Banger of a racing game, good nostalgia

ONLINE DIDNT WORK! Mario Kart > Sonic Racing

I've never played the main console version (although I should rectify that soon) which means this DS port was my introduction to this big crossover of some of SEGA's beloved franchises and you know what? For a DS version of the game it's pretty dang good.

The racing feels good, there's a nice selection of characters to choose from and some fun levels as well.

The Monkey Ball levels are not very good though, shame cause I like that franchise a lot (or at least the first few games anyway) but these are just too twisty and turny for my liking with Monkey Target being the worst of the lot.

Still three rough levels can't bring down a game that's so much fun to play.

Easily one of the best handheld ports of a game I have seen, as its very close to its console counterpart other than looking worse, but its a pretty similar experience.

played out of nostalgia.. that one track is terrible (u know the one) but other than that fun! the npcs r actually kind of challenging or i just suck. i also really like the super-music.

Not as good as Xbox 360 version but it has it’s charm.

pretty good for a DS racer - i was addicted to it as a kid. I'd like to try it out again but my cartridge won't work anymore :(
