I'll say it once and I'll say it plenty more times:



Sketch Turner. Don't really know about the car but him in a Paper Sail boat and Paper Aeroplane would be amazing to see.

As for Sonic characters I wouldn't mind seeing the Chaotix driving the Heroes cart again. Though I have a feeling Big's not coming back in, which is a shame really. It gives me a warm feeling inside to constantly win as a genuinely crap character.

Give me my boy Agent G of the House of the Dead Series, than Sega will get my money.

I would LOVE to see Sketch, but his chances are relatively low considering how obscure he is. I'm not sure about seeing him in paper vehicles. I'd rather see him in something that looks like a superhero-style vehicle, with the logo from his hero outfit on the front hood. I suppose it could be designed in a way that makes it look like it was inked by a comic artist but overall it should look like something a member of the Justice League would drive.

I have to say, some House of the Dead Overkill representation would be amazing, especially considering it's the most recent entry in the series, but god I don't think even "Curien Mansion" as the franchise source would be enough to distance that game from this one, lol.


Richard Jacques remixing "House Of The Dead" or "Torn Out Twisted" or "Overkill" though... *audiable drooling noises*

EDIT: Aaaa apologies. Dantemustdie's post is what triggered me to think HotD but I was speaking track-wise. Gosh these multiple topics do require one to pay attention.

The character I would love to see the most is Vectorman, I mean he would be his OWN vehicle, a motorcycle form for ground, his jet form for flying sections and his dolphin form for water sections. And his tank form as his All-star move. Wich brings me to...how will all-stars function on water / air, Supersonic makes sense as he just hovers on ground, hover on water and flying in air, but I cant just see Ryos forklift attacking on water o_O water/air all-star modifications? I bet thats a good question for S0L!

[PsychoJosh]

All-stars basically functioned like Bullet Bills in the last game. This time I assume it won't be an autopilot mode and be more of an attacking/offensive maneuver. For example I picture that Gilius will be able to aim and fire lightning bolts, Sonic would have to steer and boost to smack cars away (in full control, not like in the last game) and Vyse's vehicle grows broadside cannons to open fire with.

Actually... wait, what if all-star powers literally transform your vehicle into a machine of destruction? That would be really cool, each superpowered vehicle gets its own abilities.

[Ash Crimson]

I would kinda like an OutRun vehicle to be in the game.

Testarossa with Guy and girl from Outrun 2?

yes please.

their All Star could be Heart Break mode and puts the car into top speed drifting on a auto pilot, making you invincible and the hearts could attack racers or obscure their views while magical soundshower/ splash wave plays

haha i can see it happening!

Sketch Turner obscure? LOL Comix Zone was one of the most knowed game of the Mega Drive. I find Ristar more obscure actualy

yeah i didn't know about Ristar till i played the Megadrive Collection either, but i've always known Comix Zone

Sketch would be a cool character, with his pet rat and all haha

I've noticed something about the returners confirmed so far: Apart from Tails, they are all characters who drove a 4 wheeler on their own. Which leads me to speculate a few things.

-Billy Hatcher is the only one of that type who hasn't been confirmed - a sign he may have been cut?
-No bikes have been shown - are they being ditched and people like Shadow, Ryo and Alex Kidd (I think those 3 will make it in, they are too popular not to) will now get a car?
-Tails getting a car indicates that there will no longer be hover vehicles for the land parts. Ulala (let's face it she's pretty much a shoe in) is most likely getting a new vehicle, but I'm not sure what this could spell for Opa Opa and the Chu Chus who are not as flexible in that way...
-Multiple characters in one vehicle could go either way, but I think they have a good chance of being in.

Some food for thought there...

i think they may be removing the bikes since they had unfair advantages in ASR1 with wheelie boosting, way better handling, accelerated boost leveling and so on.

Sumo said they paid attention to the problems of the first, with All Stars only being used to play catch up, and no real way to halt First position holder (discarding Banjo's Jiggy Rain) they only really had the rocket, which could be cancelled out with items like traffic cones, punching gloves or the green shield.

i think all characters will have a 4 (or more) wheeled vehicle to keep things fair and even for all racers.

at least thats how i see it

[Jango]

Well, they can just remove the wheelie boost technique But I can't see bikes turning into boats and planes, I doubt Shadow will be removed, he will probaly just won a new GUN vehicle, but I'm not sure 'bout Alex and Ryo :/

Jet Skis and Hover Bikes

Though I'd love to see Shadow (maybe Rouge along side him) driving in a G.U.N. themed vehicle, their All Star Move, for the sake of being less redundant and a million times more awesome, could include the G.U.N. Truck coming out of no where and wreaking havoc (at least in the event that it isn't a racer on its own)

[PsychoJosh]

Rouge should be her own racer. I like her as a character and I don't much like the idea of racing pairs.

[ulalove]

I don't like pairs either. I like it more where each character has their own stuff and not sharing it with another racer. However characters like the zombie people and and the bonanza bros kinda make sense i guess.

[JezMM]

I think pair racing is fine, as long as the characters are seen as a pair like 90% of the time minimum. Sonic for example has had too many adventures on his own to be paired up with Tails in a celebratory game.

Shadow and Rouge together... hmm I'd be OKAY with it but generally speaking they're very competitive characters, so while they may love to team up, I doubt either of them would want to just sit there while the other drives, occasionally getting off their arse to help in a flashy All-Star move.

[Indigo Rush]

Alright, everyone.

Segata Sanshiro needs to be in this game. Not for his own glory, but for the benefit of your sanity and health. It is written in gaming lore and foretold in the stars in ancient 8-bit space shooters such as Galaga and Space Invaders that Segata Sanshiro is, in fact, the proverbial Chuck Norris of video games. He will have his return. He was resurrected after being seemingly obliterated while riding on a Sony-owned missile just to tell the crowd in a Dreamcast convention to cheer for Sonic's name or he'll snap their necks. You think people cared about Sonic at that point? Oh, no... no, they feared for their lives. If you take the sound sample from Sonic Adventure where the crowd is cheering for their Sonic at the final climax in the game, you can set it up to an advanced emotion detector (they have these at SEGA's HQ, they are run by Saturn technology) and the machine will explode from the fear they were expressiing after seeing Segata Sanshiro's resurrected (and beautiful) face, who was threatening their lives with a neck hold.

But enough about my childhood, how is Segata Sanshiro going to race in this game? Well, first of all, some ground rules. Sanshiro will not be playing on the PS3. He despises Sony after they tried to wipe out SEGA's HQ that one time, so Sony gets no Segata. Second, whenever you play as him, or whenever he is randomly selected for a race, the music dynamically changes, as S0L puts it, around HIM and HIS vehicle. Also, Sonic and Segata can not be in the same race. Segata is furious at Sonic for not putting out a good game for the Saturn. Well, it's less Segata being furious and more of Sonic being a scared pansy. That's right, if you pick Sonic and the game randomly selects Segata Sanshiro, you are forced to play as another racer against your will, most likely Big the Cat. Even if he isn't a racer you can usually play. Whenever Segata bumps into another racer, they immediately stop their engines and crawl out of their vehicles to cower in a fetal position for a few minutes. Yes, Segata is a little OP, but we need to stay true to his character.

So, what vehicle does he ride? Not a SEGA Saturn, not yet. We have plans for this. No, for ground, Segata Sanshiro rides the Super Hang-On, in true SEGA fashion. Besides, bikes are cool. He gets some good speed and handling. Then, when he hits the water, it turns into the jet-ski from Wave Runner. Finally, in the air, it's the F-14 Tomcat from After Burner. Oh, and the music changes to those game's respective themes. As the Tomcat, Segata has infinite ammo. This might be the most OP of all the transformations, but we can't exactly complain. He wanted this, and we have to oblige.

Oh... and his All Star Move? Here comes the SEGA Saturn TANK! It's a tank made in the style of a SEGA Saturn (white or black at random) and whenever it touches a racer, they explode and fly out of the track. In fact, you won't be able to play as them for 2 weeks of gameplay time. They need to recover from how hard their tails got handed to them. Except NiGHTS, because NiGHTS was on the SEGA Saturn, and that's A-O-K with Segata. The tank shoots nuclear bombs, and the music in the background is the chorus from his glorious theme song.



... Sega Satān, Shiro!!!

I can't believe you spent the time writing that. And really, what's the big deal about Segata Sanshiro anyway?

Yeah I don't understand the hype for him either, the commercials are cool and all but I doubt many people would get the reference. By all means give him a cameo but it's not like he played a massive part in SEGA's history.

I would say Bongo the Monkey would make an interesting character but we have too many SEGA monkeys already. Orguss would be cool for ultimate retro character that nobody's ever heard of though, plus robots!
