Explained simply
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a kart racing game in which players race as characters from the Sonic series and guest franchises. Like other games in the genre, it combines character abilities, vehicles and themed courses, and its roster can expand through paid add-on content.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four crime-fighting brothers: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo. They began in comics and have since appeared in television, films and games, making them familiar guest characters for a game built around crossovers.
Sega publishes the Sonic racing game and has also announced plans for more guest franchises, including Godzilla and Evangelion. These additions show how the game’s appeal depends partly on bringing together characters and settings from different entertainment series.
