Visuals? Fine. Music? Fantastic. Gameplay?... It tried. The odd lack of tracks (later grand prixs simply re-use tracks from previous cups), the disappointingly safe and flaccid character roster as well as the fact it had to contend with being released AFTER Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed means that it only feels like a step backward.

Oh, and the online multiplayer on the Switch version is embarrassingly bad. So many bizarre glitches, it'll make you laugh until you cry.
