Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is the sequel to Sonic &
Sega All-Stars Racing, the fourth installment in the Sega Superstars
series, and the eighth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a mascot-based racing
game in which players race against each other using characters from
various Sega franchises, although it features many new mechanics and
improvements from the last game. The most obvious is that, at certain
points in a race, vehicles can alternate between car, boat and plane
modes. The car mode handles similarly to the previous game, in which
players can earn boost by drifting around corners or performing tricks
whilst in the air. Boat mode features true boating physics, requiring
players to consider their vehicle's turbulence. They may also be
affected by waves made in the water, some of which can be used to leap
into the air and perform stunts. Plane mode, the fastest of the three
forms, gives players the freedom to move both vertically and
horizontally. Like the other modes, players can 'air-drift' around
corners to earn boost and can also perform rolls to quickly adjust their
position, earning boost for narrowly dodging obstacles. Players
alternate between these modes by driving through blue transformation
gates. Certain tracks in the game terraform as players proceed through
them, offering different playstyles between each lap.
Several new varieties of weapons have been added, including explosive
hot rod engines, freezing snowballs and swarms of wasps that appear at
the front of the pack. All-Star Moves return from the previous title,
though these are awarded slightly differently compared to the last game,
and can now be used in online multiplayer. During races, players can
collect star tokens, found scattered around the course or earned by
attacking opponents, which can be spent in a slot machine between events
to earn random bonuses, such as enhanced items or faster recovery from
certain weapons.
The main campaign is the Career Mode which, along with returning
features such as Grand Prix, Time Attack and Single Race, mainly
revolves around the World Tour mode. This mode involves going through a
branching series of events, ranging from standard races to various
challenges, including earning time by drifting, maneuvering through
traffic or fighting against large tanks. Completing these challenges on
various difficulties earn stars which are used to open up new branches
and unlock new characters and mods. Racing with each character in any
mode earns XP which unlock modifications that alter the stats of each
vehicle.[13] The game features 16 new tracks inspired by games like
Super Monkey Ball, Panzer Dragoon, Golden Axe, After Burner and Burning
Rangers, as well as four returning locations from the first game and
mirror versions of each track. The game also features online multiplayer
in all versions and four player split-screen multiplayer for the
console versions. Some of the career modes can also be played in
split-screen multiplayer. The Wii U version also features unique
minigames and features that utilize the Wii U GamePad and can support up
to five players via split-screen.
