Team Sonic Racing 2

Team Sonic Racing 2 is a 2024 kart racing game and a spin-off from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series and sequel to 2019 kart racing game Team Sonic Racing. Controlling one of 36 characters from the series' cast, players compete in races using sports cars. They view gameplay from a third-person perspective while performing tricks, drifting, and collecting power-ups. Team Sonic Racing differs from traditional kart racers because of its focus on cooperative gameplay, similar to the kind featured in Splatoon (2015) and Overwatch (2016)—players are part of a team of racers and win races through efficiency rather than speed. Game modes include competing to earn points, time trials, customizing the racing rules, and a story-driven tutorial campaign.
