A recent patch for the Nintendo Wii U version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed fixes Boost Mode bugs and other variances.
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.
Transformed is my favorite of the series. Even Team racing (the next iteration) is pretty good too but I liked transformed better.
I tried team racing and it just didn't click with me as much as Transformed did.
I seriously just wish Sega would do another sequel to that game instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
It was the best alternative to Mario Kart on Xbox/PS
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.
Yeah, the first game will always be a classic, but I believe Sonic 2 and 3 moved the chains for the series quite a bit. Sonic CD definitely innovated as well, particularly with its amazing soundtracks and 3D bonus stage. :D
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)

1. Sonic adventure 2
2. Sonic rush
3. Sonic unleashed ( day time stages)
4. Sonic generations
5. Sonic advance 2
Good picks! But...SA 2 kinda fell backward on those digging segments. Great rap song tho!

I've downloaded the Demo on the eShop and now want to buy it.
Bout time!
In time, patches fix everything!
Too bad it doesn't fix the terrible mechanics. LBP Karting is also still more fun.
I'm really shocked. I didn't expect much from the game but Sega is really stepping it up.
Kinda wish they patched up Sonic 06 though.
