Sumo Digital's Steve Lycett recently commented in an interview that he thinks the Mario Kart franchise can learn a thing or two from the recently released Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
A decade later, Sega's iconic racer is still a formidable foe to the Mario Kart franchise.
Yes, yes it is! Damn shame that Sega never made another sequel or even updated this one with new tracks and characters.
"The platform of choice, however, is the Xbox Series X."
Yessir, the game runs extremely smooth because of the frame rate boost. Still, till this day I play Sonic ASR with friends.
What are the best titles to feature the Blue Blur?
Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.
I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.
R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.
Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.
My top top5 (After mid 2000's sadly I stopped playing sonic)
Sonic 2
Sonic adventure

Honorable Mentions: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine,Sonic Spinball
1. Sonic adventure 2
2. Sonic rush
3. Sonic unleashed ( day time stages)
4. Sonic generations
5. Sonic advance 2
CFIUS needs to greenlight Tencent's buying Sumo Digital due to concerns of national security, Sumo and Tencent agree to work together to ensure the deal comes through
I really hope the American security panel puts a stop to this game company being sold to Tencent.
Tencent in my opinion has too many ties to the Chinese Communist Party and giving them control of Sumo Digital makes no sense to me.
Every weapon should be evade-able like in Transformed, for starters.
BS items are the reason I stopped playing Mario Kart.
What can Mario Kart learn from Sega All-Stars?
Mario Kart can pretty much learn from most racing games out there. It hasn't really evolved in almost two decades since it came out. Mario Kart Double Dash was a nice attempt that they, of course, gave up on with later releases.

I'm pretty sure Mario Kart doesn't need any advice..
I kinda have to agree. Mario Kart has been playing it rather irritatingly safe over the years. I'd like if they sped the racing up a bit with more ambitious tracks and new ideas. Just something to evolve.
And get rid of blue shells, ugh...
