Team Sonic Racing[6] (チームソニックレーシング, Chīmu Sonikku Rēshingu?) is a kart racing video game, serving as a spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game is developed by Sumo Digital and published by Sega and was released on 21 May 2019. It received both a physical and digital release for the PlayStation 4,[7] Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and a digital-only release on Steam[8] for the PC.[9] Unlike Sumo Digital's Sega All-Stars racing games (Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed), Team Sonic Racing only features characters from the Sonic universe, as the team wanted to expand the series' world and character roster.
The team sought to make Team Sonic Racing stand out in comparison to other racing games. Sonic Team head and game producer Takashi Iizuka conceived the cooperative gameplay, and Sumo Digital used the team-based Sonic Heroes as a point of reference.[10] The existence of the game came to light when a Sumo Digital memo leaked in January 2018. Sega would later officially confirm its existence in May 2018. Its marketing campaign included appearances at trade shows, a one-shot comic from IDW Publishing, and a two-part animated series. Upon its release, Team Sonic Racing was met with lukewarm reviews, with critics praising the gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack. However, most were critical of the story and its presentation, and many deemed the game inferior to the Sega All-Stars games.
When Team Sonic receives a vaguely worded invitation to the Ultimate Test of Racing Skill, curiosity soon gets the better of Sonic, Knuckles and Tails, who make a beeline for the rendezvous at the beach. There, they come across Amy, Big and Omochao, who are having a picnic. After Sonic explains their reasons for coming, Amy remarks that Team Rose did not get any invitations. Soon after, an enigmatic stranger approached, a Tanuki calling himself Dodon Pa. He explains to them, in a condescending and vague manner, that he wants them to test the most technologically advanced racing vehicles ever built on his perilous custom circuits in a Grand Prix where teamwork is the key. Not satisfied with Dodon Pa's answer, Amy notices that Dodon Pa's manner of speaking is suspiciously Eggman-esque. Knuckles himself does not trust Dodon Pa either. While Sonic agrees with his friends that the situation seems sketchy, Sonic is curious to test out these super cars and convinces his friends to join him by promising them that nothing bad can happen as long as he is around. As Dodon Pa gets ready to take Team Sonic with him in his spaceship to Planet Wisp where the first race awaits, Big wants to come along, prompting the rest of Team Rose to join Dodon Pa and Team Sonic's adventure, making them official competitors in Dodon Pa's Grand Prix.
On Planet Wisp, Dodon Pa goes over his Grand Prix, and explains that the winner of the tournament gets to keep their super cars. Tails finds this too good to be true though, and suspects that Dodon Pa is untrustworthy. The suspicion only intensifies as Dodon Pa expresses a disregard for the racers' safety after the first race. Amy herself even notices that Dodon Pa chuckles much like Eggman. Amy soon shares her suspicion with the guys, as Dodon Pa's whole idea about inviting strangers to compete in dangerous races does not add up. Tails agrees with this, and, finding this whole set-up similar to an Eggman plot, suspects that Eggman and Dodon Pa are working together. Big, on the other hand, sees no reason to mistrust Dodon Pa, who eventually shows up to explain the Cosmetic Mods. As the races progress, Sonic and the gang start to have fun. However, Tails and Knuckles still question Dodon Pa's motives, as they wonder whose limits he is testing. In addition, Tails' curiosity is peeked by the tech Dodon Pa is using, which is advanced, even for him. However, Dodon Pa does not give a concrete answer to their questions. Later, between the races, Amy and Omochao take their time to admire Dodon Pa's cars, whose operating principles are explained by Omochao. Soon after, Tails makes contact with an unseen individual, whom he tells to report back to him as soon as they find anything. Big catches Tails in the act, but Tails convinces Big that he was talking to nobody. As Dodon Pa later takes things up a notch with the introduction of his Survival Races, Tails grows more suspicious of the Tanuki's motives while Sonic gets more intrigued by the challenge. After the race, Amy tries to ask Dodon Pa about his reasons for putting them through all these brutal trials, but Dodon Pa dodges the question by saying that it is "technical".
As the Grand Prix moves along, Silver and Blaze show up as well, having received the same mysterious invitations from Dodon Pa. The two meet up with each other at the competition, along with Vector, who did not get an invitation but had been told by his "sources" to meet them there. When Dodon Pa then shows up to invite the trio into his competition, Blaze backs out, refusing to trust a Tanuki (who are notorious tricksters). When Dodon Pa tries to persuade Blaze with a large cash prize though, Vector tries convincing the other two to form Team Vector with him. Silver and Blaze agree, but only to bail Vector out of trouble when it happens. Team Vector soon after meets up with Teams Sonic and Rose to discuss Dodon Pa. While Amy does not trust Dodon Pa, Sonic instead stays focused on the competition. Furthermore, the teams become more concerned with Dodon Pa and the competition after learning from Blaze and Silver that Dodon Pa possesses technology that lets him send objects through time and space. Realizing that their host has more power than they thought, they all agree to continue competing while keeping a close eye on Dodon Pa. In the meantime, Dr. Eggman shows up, ready to throw a wrench into the heroes' plan.
Before one of the races, Knuckles walks in on Tails and Vector as they are having a secret conversation. When he confronts them, Tails claims they are only having small talk, but Knuckles does not believe him. Knuckles also questions Vector why he did not join the competition with his usual team, Team Chaotix, with Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee. In response, Vector claims he is out freelancing. Knuckles subsequently tells Sonic that he saw Tails sneaking around, and Sonic goes to confront Tails himself. Tails admits to Sonic he is working on something and Sonic replies that that is good enough for him, knowing Tails will tell him what he is doing when he needs to know.
After a few more races, Dodon Pa informs the competing teams that Team Dark, consisting of Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega, and Team Eggman, consisting of the doctor himself and his Eggpawns, have now joined the competition. Tails accuses Eggman of being behind everything, but Eggman promptly denies this and insists that he is only here to compete like everyone else. In the meantime, Eggman has Orbot and Cubot watch his Final Fortress since Eggman did not choose them to join his team.
Regardless of his claims, Eggman's appearance puts Sonic and Tails on edge. Sonic, knowing Shadow would work with Eggman if it helped his goal, asks him if he is working with Eggman, but Shadow tells him he came to stop Eggman himself and discover where Dodon Pa's loyalties lie. The two of them then argue over who gets to stop Eggman, leading Sonic to challenge Shadow to a race. While the two hedgehogs are busy, Silver spots Eggman talking to Dodon Pa about something to do with a "Ultimate Energy Engine". Silver informs the others of this, who all conclude that Eggman and Dodon Pa are working together. However, because they cannot stop them if they do not know what they are doing, Tails decides they should continue to go along with the races but keep an eye on both of them.
Rouge soon meets up with Sonic and Shadow after their showdown and tells them of what they have discovered while trying to persuade them to put their rivalry aside for a while. Omega in particular encourages the elimination of both Eggman and Dodon Pa. Having heard this conversation, Big has Omochao explain to him what "eliminate" means. After hearing this, Big cannot understand why everyone seems to dislike Dodon Pa, as he sees no reason to mistrust him. Amy tries to explain to Big about why Dodon Pa cannot be trusted with an analogy but gets nowhere. Meanwhile, Blaze is getting tired of performing for Dodon Pa, who is using the information he has gathered from watching the racers for some unknown project. Later, after being beaten by Sonic in another race, Eggman decides to up his game. Eventually, he brings hordes of Eggpawns onto the racetracks, which the racers take care of (for the time being). Meanwhile, Dodon Pa permits Eggman's little game, knowing it would test the teams' teamwork even further.
Omochao later detects some strange telemetric signals coming from Dodon Pa. Apparently, Dodon Pa is sending the information on the teams' teamwork to an unknown receiver after each race. Rouge suspects that the receiver is Eggman. At this point, everyone but Big is convinced that Dodon Pa is evil and is giving their secrets to Eggman. Big, however, still thinks that Dodon Pa is nice due to one reason: he is working with the Wisps, and Wisps only help nice people. Realizing that Big is right, Amy suspects that Dodon Pa might not be evil after all.
As the races continue, Sonic and Amy agree that Eggman is no threat to them in the competition. Meanwhile, Eggman, in an attempt to remedy his losing streak, decides to have Metal Sonic and his Formula M join his team. This change in Eggman's strategy unnerves the other racers, except for Sonic. Later, before another race, Sonic tries trash talking with Silver, but the latter is too distracted by something on his mind. After a few races, Blaze starts to notice Silver's absentmindedness. Eventually, she gets Silver to admit that he is having a feeling that something bad is about to happen, but Blaze assures him that they will be ready for it. In the meantime, Eggman is communicating with an unseen operative of his who is on an unknown mission. Eggman then tells Metal Sonic that they should keep racing while his operative carries out his mission. Soon after, Team Rose has a strategy discussion when Big notices a big guy hiding in the shadows. However, his short attention span makes Amy dismiss his observation.
