Gameplay

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a kart racing game, similar to its predecessor, Team Sonic Racing (2019), although CrossWorlds does not retain that game's cooperative team racing mechanic in normal gameplay. Players race against up to 11 opponents in three-lap races around a track, similar to other games in the genre such as the Mario Kart series. Like previous Sonic racing games, a strong emphasis is placed on drifting to maneuver around tight turns and build up additional speed. Players can also earn speed boosts by performing consecutive mid-air tricks after jumping off ramps. Rings are scattered around the track, which players can gather to increase their maximum speed; players lose rings when they make contact with walls, obstacles, or other racers. Item capsules can also be obtained, which can be used to increase the player's speed or attack other opponents. Players can choose between standard race cars, which transform to boats and planes at different points in the race similar to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (2012), or Extreme Gear hoverboards, which were previously featured in the Sonic Riders sub-series.

A total of 45 different vehicles can be unlocked, with players also able to combine parts from the vehicles they have unlocked to create custom vehicles. By competing in races and completing special challenge objectives, players can earn "Donpa Tickets", which can be used to purchase additional vehicle parts and customization items like paint and decals. Tickets can also be spent to retry a race during a Grand Prix, or gifted to characters to increase their friendship rating and earn rewards. Before starting a race, players can choose from over 70 unlockable gadgets to equip that provide them passive advantages, such as drawing in distant rings, increasing trick speeds, or prioritizing specific items; up to six…
