==Overview==
thumb|255x255px|Team Sonic Racing Overdrive LogoTeam Sonic Racing Overdrive is an animation made for the Team Sonic Racing video game and was uploaded on both Sonic Team and Sonic America's Youtube Channels. Three teams from the Team Sonic Racing game appear in this animation. Those teams are: Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Rose. This animation has been cut into two different parts when first released. A video containing both parts was later posted after the first two initial videos. You can see both animations on either the Sonic Team's or Sonic America's official Youtube Channels. Although it is posted on a Japanese Youtube Channel, since the animation has both their voices and text in English, you can still watch it on either Sonic Team or Sonic America's Youtube Channel.

A video showing the behind the scenes sketches before it's finalized was shown on Sonic America's official Youtube Channel. In the video you can see that some things were changed from the original idea to the finalized product.
==Summary==
This animation takes place on the Wisp Planet Racetrack. The first two teams introduced are Team Sonic and Team Rose. It starts with seeing the first two teams compete with each other to stay in the lead. Some Wisp power ups are used to turn the tides which makes Team Sonic get pushed behind. Team Dark is then later introduced in front of Team Sonic.left|thumb|255x255px|Sonic and Shadow Before Sonic Drives Ahead of Shadow and Smirks at HimAs the race is going on, Eggman is shown and tries to interrupt their race through several schemes. One such scheme catches the attention of Big where one of Eggman's Badniks is giving away free Froggy T-Shirts. Big has a hard time getting to the products due to all the cars passing by, but he is later determined to get it no matter the cost due to it being free. He later causes a crash to happen between Sonic, Shadow, Amy and the Chaos due to walking out onto the middle of the racetrack. Big thinks nothing of it as is instead happy with his new items. As Team Rose drives off, the Badnik then changes the products to Chao Black Market items and hammers to get Team Rose's attention. After this, they are out of the race and don't appear again.
While Big was trying to get the items, the animation shows Sonic and Shadow competing with each other in two different scenes. Amy then appears in front of them and Chao rams his car into Shadow to get to the front. As they race, they eventually see Big on the racetrack and all crash together. This is the end of part 1.thumb|255x255px|Sonic Smiling After Finding a ShortcutPart two of the animation starts with showing Knuckles and Rouge compete with each other. Because of Rouge popping Knuckles' car tire with the Spikes Wisp, Knuckles' car is temporarily put out of commission. This infuriates Knuckles. Though due to Eggman's interfering by making his Badnik dressed as a cat go in the middle of the racetrack, Rouge crashes her car into a rock, which then made her car out of commission. Rouge and Knuckles are then stuck with both of their cars stranded on the side of the road. Rouge then tries an idea to ask Omega for help, though due to her phone call, Omega crashes into her car and now has his car also out of commission. Tails then comes by and fixes Knuckles' car. He then drives away with Tails while laughing at Rouge. Rouge then spots Shadow and tries to ask for his help, but he simply drives by without paying them any mind. Rouge then kicks Omega's car in frustration. Omega follows suit which results in the cars exploding. Rouge and Omega are then out of the race from this.left|thumb|255x255px|Shadow Looking Behind at Sonic and Tails Before he Hits them with a Cube WispEggman tries to use the same trick he did on Rouge to Shadow, but Shadow simply runs over the Badnik without a second thought. This surprises Eggman. Tails is then shown a bit as he drives carefree. Slowly from behind him, Shadow catches up. Shadow then uses an Eagle Wisp to hit Tails so that he can drive past him and take the lead. As he drives by Tails, he smirks at him. Sonic then appears and helps Tails stop from spinning. As Sonic and Tails drive behind Shadow and try too catch up, Shadow stops them again by using a Cube Wisp to make them both spin. They both turn their cars back straight before Knuckles makes a sudden appearance. Knuckles then lands next to Shadow and both start competing with each other for the lead. Sonic and Tails follow close behind. Sonic then asks Knuckles for some help. Knuckles throws a power-up bottle that contains three Boost Wisps, but the bottle ends up going to Tails. This helps Tails catch up to Knuckles and Shadow. Sonic then tries to look for a way where he can catch up. He spots a shortcut and decides to take it. This helps him catch up with his team.thumb|255x255px|Shadow Smirking After Pulling Ahead of TailsJust as it looks like Shadow is about to win, Sonic makes his appearance from taking the shortcut he found. They then in unison use the Team Ultimate to ram past Shadow and get first place. Before Shadow's car gets flung into the air by their impact, Shadow teleports out of his car then back to the racetrack. He then walks up to the cheering stand where his other two teammates are and sits with them. It then cuts to showing Team Sonic winning and getting the first prize. After Sonic gives Tails the trophy and is distracted with Knuckles, Eggman steals the trophy from Tails and gloats like he won the entire race. Just as he was rubbing it in everyone's faces, Eggman gets buried under Shadow's car that was flung into the air earlier. The trophy is then flung into the air and goes back into Sonic's arms. Sonic's team shrugs it off and continues to relish in their victory as a Badnik behind them is in agony from what happened to Eggman.
==Moments==
As Big was trying to get the Froggy merchandise, scenes between Sonic and Shadow were shown. One such scene was Shadow driving up to Sonic as he was looking at him.thumb|255x255px|Sonic Smirking at ShadowAnother scene not too long after the first shows Sonic and Shadow driving next to each other. Sonic then takes the opportunity to drive in front of Shadow, but while going in reverse. He then looks at Shadow and smirks at him once he steadies his car in front of him. This surprises Shadow at first, but he then looks at him upset. Shadow is then chasing after Sonic until they crash due to Big being in the middle of the racetrack.
From the impact of the crash, both Sonic and Shadow's cars are somewhat turned on their side next to each other. They both lay sprawled out on their cars in an awkward position as they stare at Big walking casually across the racetrack to get his Froggy merchandise.
