Jack-ted 2,269 Posted May 15, 2019 I noticed 3 things about some of the returning tracks: Spoiler Whale Lagoon: they added a cool shortcut you can't find on the map, with crabmeats in it. Pinball Highway: now there are a couple of bouncing balls on the Pinball route along with those bumpers. Bingo Party: they removed that weird fiches shortcut but added obstacles and the path is now with Green Hill theme. Pretty cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jango 6,007 Posted May 15, 2019 Apparently, the Final Egg remix we heard in the customization trailer is used in one of the returning Final Fortress tracks from All-Stars Racing, probably Dark Arsenal. Kinda lame. It would've been better to actually have a track based on Final Egg... Oh well. At least the remix is rad. There's also a remix of Final Fortress itself. No one has upload Sky Road's music yet, I'm curious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really been keeping up with these things, but if this one is anything to go by, I'm kinda mixed. On one hand, it is legit cool to see this type of character driven thing being done and it can sometimes help give a little more definition with some of the lesser utilized characters. On the other, since it is directly translated, you can't help but notice how half of that stuff is awkwardly worded and sometimes a bit "This makes me feel angry." I'm most curious about the Team Eggman one for a number of reasons. With that said, I couldn't help but notice the folowing narration compared Team Rose as almost two teams in one and then contrast Team Eggman as the reverse. What's that about? Who is SS, btw? Oh and one more thing Quote ...speaks in mannish manner. 😕 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You better apologize to Lost Palace right this instant : P The Casino Park remix is really addictive as well, it's all just that good. Nothing on the Final Fortress tracks yet..there's some tracks that would fit Egg Hangar, but they could as well be used for "boss" races or Turbine Loop, I guess. At this point I'll probably just wait to find out myself, which should be very soon. It's weird how those tracks seemingly aren't part of Grand Prix though.

The honourifics is probably to be polite, but the tilde is to prolong a sound. Where we might do “Ah...” as “Ahhh...,” would happen as “あ…” being ”あ〜…“ It’s different with things like shouting that we might do as “AAAAA”, because that becomes “あああああ” instead. In a nutshell, it’s just standard writing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaN 211 Posted May 16, 2019 I’m still a little sad that there seems to be no secret characters/tracks. I kinda expected something like Classic Sonic or Dodonpa itself and Radiant Emerald as the ultimate R reference. Heck, not even Eggpawn which is actually ready. Nothing... there’s still hope for DLC’s... I know this is a huge leap, but imagine if this game sells well enough we could have a massive Expansion a la Ultimate Team Sonic Racing with 15 more characters and 15 more stages. No way huh? 😂 1 Snowragnarok reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StellarBlur 61 Posted May 16, 2019 I don't understand why Egg Pawn isn't an extra 16th playable character than can be any of the 3 classes. It just doesn't make sense to me. His car and model are in the game and since he's a robot he doesn't require them to do much voice work, just use egg pawn sound effects. Sure, perhaps they don't want to implement customization for him but I personally would have been fine with him not having it tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
