1. * The Character: Red & Blue
   * The Series: Gunstar Heroes
   * The Vehicle: The Golden Silver (a hovering ship-like craft based aethetically on this ship http://ui27.gamefaqs.com/1978/gfs_80820_2_11.jpg
   * The All-Star Move: Seven Force (Gunstar Green comes to aid his friend with his shape shifting robot, which speeds along and fires projectiles determined by which shape he is at that point)
   * And why they’d make a good addition: The Gunstars are unsung heroes of the Mega Drive era, but to those who played the game they are held dear. The fast paced co-operative gameplay of the original could lead to a truely animated character base for the game

2. This is a intresting comp im gunna have ago ^_^

   * The Character – Crash Bandicoot & Aku Aku (PS4 & Xbox 720 exclusive character)
   * The Series – Crash Bandicoot
   * The Vehicle – His Motorbike from Crash 3 Warped
   * The All-Star Move – Puts on Aku Aku Mask on and runs mad at other drivers (like his invincable thing when after getting 3 aku aku boxes from the early crash games)
   * And why they’d make a good addition – Crash Bandicoot has had a great success being in both Platform and Kart racing games of his own he would be a great addition to the game

3. My Sonic and SEGA All Stars 2 Entry
   The Character: Silver The Hedgehog
   The Series: Sonic the Hedgehog
   The Vehicle: A Hover Car
   The All Star Move: Psychic Blast (Random objects appear, which Silver throws at nearby racers, causing them to spin.)
   A Good Edition Because: He’s one of the coolest characters in any Sonic game, and every Sonic fan will be pleased to see him.

4. * The Character – Ristar
   * The Series – Ristar
   * The Vehicle – The Shooting Star http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab108/MarcelloF91/ShootingStar.png , that but better. I just drew that quickly, to show the main design :/. I made it up, just in case someone doesn’t know 😛
   * The All-Star Move – He goes into his shooting star mode, that you see in between levels, and starts going super fast. Sorta like Super Sonic >_>. Here are pics: http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab108/MarcelloF91/ShootingRistar.png and here the ones on the bottom: http://spriters-resource.com/genesis/ristar/sheet/12671
   * And why they’d make a good addition: First of all, he is a STAR. So it would fit to All-Stars. >_< Haha. Now, seriously: He's (And his game) popular by old-school fans, and I'm sure, thanks to his design, newer players would also like him. He's one of the most wished characters for the first game and DLC.

5. Character: Megaman & Rush (All Consoles)
   Series: Megaman
   Vehicle: Rush
   All-Star Move: A bolt of lightning would power rush and he would speed faster and ram other drivers out of the way while megaman would be able to blast other drivers too.
   Why Include Them: along with Sonic, Mario and Zelda, The Megaman series has also been a long running series with great sucess and would be available on all platforms since the Megaman series wasnt a console Exclusive in the Old days.

6. Hrmm… a competition that might possibly add in more characters based on our concept arts? I’ll give it a go. Woulda done Segata Sanshiro, but I know they’ve made concept arts for him, so I’ll hold hope that he might get some form of appearance.

   – The Character – Sketch Turner with pet rat Roadkill.
   – The Series – Comix Zone.
   – The Vehicle – The Roadkill, a car named after his pet, which produces worded comic sound effects based on action (eg. “Screeeeeech” for drifting)
   – The All-Star Move – “Super Sketch”, in which Sketch turns into his superhero persona and flies ahead, while punching anybody near by. And is still accompanied by sound effects.
   – And why they’d make a good addition – Due to being a good cult classic among Sega fans, as well as a means of introducing the character to newer fans who know nothing about this obscure character.

7. * The Character – Carbuncle (Has-Bean in Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine) (The little orange guy who dances in the middle of the screen for those who don’t know)

   * The Series – Puyo Puyo

   * The Vehicle – A giant “Puyo-Mobile”. Think along the lines of the Chao Machines from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle’s multiplayer. Just a Puyo with a glass dome on top which Carbuncle is controlling through some levers, with wheels at the bottom that are rather small in comparison to the bulkiness of the body.

   * The All-Star Move – The ‘Puyo-Mobile’ splits into several Puyos, one for each colour in the games (that’s about 4-5) with line alongside each other in a row. The vehicle now gains a speed boost and any racer ahead who’s caught in the row of puyos is absorbed through them and spat out the back in a dizzying spin.

   * And why they’d make a good addition – Well, besides there being no actual representation of the Puyo Puyo series in the current game (a series which has been with Sega since 1991), Carbuncle is just one of the cutest characters around and even has a much bigger role in the continuing series. The idea of playing in a Puyo car could be expanded with the choice of colour (or even playing as one of the broken puyos that looks like a rock) would give the player a good chance to customize. Even having the different colours as downloadable skins like Ryo’s Forklift could be possible.

   My e-mail address is beezer9aug@hotmail.com =) Good luck to everyone else entering, I’ve liked reading the entries before mine already.

8. Character: Sketch Turner

   Series: Comix Zone

   Vehicle: Paperplane: A gigantic Paper Airplane that Sketch is somehow able to ride like a hovercraft. It’s speed and handling are magnificent, but it takes a while to get up to top speed and it can be hard to get a grip on the track.

   The All-Star Move: Super Sketch- Sketch uses a powerful artifact to become a genuine superhero. In this form, he blazes down the track, carrying a huge pencil and scribbling all over his opponents as he pass them, spinning them out and obscuring their vision.

   Why They’d Make a Good Addition: Comix Zone is a very well-known, very well recieved obscure game from SEGA’s past. It’s protagonist is also radically different from most of the characters already present in the first ASR, allowing for a bit more variety among characters with his colorful style, but mature-oriented game.

9. Character:Ecco the Dolphin
   Series:Ecco the Dolphin
   Vehicle:The Coral Cart (It would be shaped like a dolphin and its Color would be the color of crystal clear blue water, with a few bits of coral sticking on the car. Finally, the part of the car where the driver would normally sit, would instead be a large bubble made out of water. Here, Ecco would paddle his tail fin, like he was swimming, to make the car drive).
   All Star Move:Dolphin’s Eccos(Ecco uses waves of echolocation to stop other racers and make them confused.
   Why is he a good addition:Ecco the dolphin is one of Sega’s best franchises, and hasent appeared in any Sega games in a while. He deserves to be in the spotlight again.

10. *The Character: Captain Falcon (Wii2)
    *The Series: F-Zero
    *The Vehicle: Blue Falcon
    *The All-Star Move: Captain Falcon Jumps on top of his blue falcon to deliver his Falcon Punch. When he punches fire comes out in the shape of a falcon and hit whoever is and font of him. It can be done multiple times till the All-Star Move runs out.
    *Why they’d make a good addition:Sega Developed F-Zero Gx for the Nintendo GameCube. If Mario is to afraid to race Sonic then let someone represent Nintendo who knows what true speed really is. Plus it might be easier to get him for a console exclusive then Mario.

11. •Character: Rolf (Phantasy Star 2)
    •Series: Phantasy Star
    •Vehicle: The Land Rover from Phantasy Star 4: The End of the Millenium
    •All-Star Move: Megid, a magical technique available in nearly all Phantasy Star games. The move in the game consists of all characters except the user losing half their HP and it combining to attack the enemy. Here Rolf could cause opponents to drive at half their max speed for a short time limit.
    •And why they’d make a good addition: Phantasy Star was and is still a fan favourite and a perfect example of a RPG. I chose the lead character from PS2, Rolf, because he is often seen as the “face” of Phantasy Star. Yuji Naka was too involved with the creation and design of the Phantasy Star saga, so that is a Sonic connection as well as the series being a Mega Drive classic. Gamespot listed it in its Greatest Games of All Time list and Nintendo Power claimed it was one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

12. The Character: Goldman

    The Series: House of the Dead

    The Vehicle: “Type-01 Wheels of Fate” (an homage to the “Type-XX” style of naming HotD bosses, and the “Wheel of Fate” final boss of HotD3. I imagine the car would be something fancy-looking to suit Goldman’s tastes, but have a twisted/warped zombie element as well. Perhaps the front would be “normal” and the back all mutated and strange.)

    All-Star Move: Goldman summons “The Emperor” (his final boss creation from HotD2) to jump onto the track and push his car from behind, giving him a boost in speed while the glowing orbs that always surround The Emperor circle the car and damage anyone who gets too close.

    Why: First of all, why was it decided to use Zobio and Zobiko as the representatives of the House of the Dead series in the first place? We never even got to play the House of the Dead EX, the game they starred in! Whenever I think of the HotD series, only Goldman comes to mind. Yes, Goldman, the horribly-acted evil guy from House of the Dead 2. He stands for the silly voice acting and strangeness that the series was famous for.
    Second, he’s freakin’ Goldman! I can just hear the squeals of nerdish glee when he pops up on a character selection screen, monotoning “People of the AMS… I am Goldman.” Every time he passes another racer, you’d hear his “Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hrrrrm” evil-ish laugh. To add to the sillyness of the character, his All-Star move amounts to getting a push from behind from his ultimate creation. I feel it would be a great addition to the “wackyness” of the game, and a more fitting representation of the House of the Dead franchise.

13. The Character: Spyro the Dragon (an exclusive for Playstation)

    The Series: The original Spyro games (Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon)

    The Vehicle: A Rocket Skateboard (Who didn’t love those awesome skateboarding levels?) It’d be awesome to be blasting along with everyone else on an awesome skateboard reminiscent of Spyro’s old board, but with a few improvements. 😉 Two jet engines attached to the back to add a bit of an added boast to the old board, some new all terrain tires, and a new paint job (perhaps of flames or even depicting his epic battle with the Gnorc, Ripto, or the Sorceress?)

    The All-Star Move: Spyro actually leaps off his rocket skateboard and barrels forward as if he’s on a Supercharge track, making him fast and invincible and very dangerous to any that he crashes into along the way

    Why He’d Make a Good Addition: Who doesn’t remember those old Spyro games and the joy they brought to those who played them. That purple, fun, adventure loving dragon stole my heart many years ago and I still go back and replay the classics quite often. What would be better than having a game with soo many of my favorite classic game characters all in a test of speed? Sonic’s already here, let’s get Spyro in on this too. =D

14. OK, here goes something:

    The Character – Sonic the Werehog

    The Vehicle – A dark blue monster truck version of Sonic’s original racecar, with less speed but increased grip

    The All-Star Move – Werehog leaps out the front of the monster truck and races ahead on all fours. Pressing A makes him stretch his arms out and swipe in an arc.

    Why He’d Make a Good Addition – Well, why not really? If we can have Big the Cat, then we can surely have Sonic the Werehog 😛 Nah, in all seriousness, I think he’d add to the Sonic side of the All-Stars II roster, and is a character that many people wouldn’t expect to be in the game.

15. *Character-Chip From Sonic Unleashed (Wii2 Exclusive)
    *The Vehicle-The Chocolate Mobile
    *The All Star Move- He eats a Chocolate Sundae Supreme then turns giant and squishes everybody
    *Why he would be a good addition- Because..HE’S A DAMN SONIC CHARACTER SO WHY NOT

    K done hope i win XD

16. I like the way you felt the need to mention NiGHTS would be in an ASR2 should it exist XD

    You know, i’m gonna really go for it with this one. I’m not even going to choose any character from a NiGHTS game. Better yet, not even a Sonic Team game. I’m gonna break that purple-wall and give you something interesting to consider for an ASR2 character, lol.

    Here we go –

    The Characters – Michael ‘Rage’ Hardy and Janet ‘Janet’ Marshell. http://cyberot.free.fr/Virtua_Cop_2-front.jpg
    The Series – Virtua Cop (Virtua Cop 2, to be precise)
    The Vehicle – A convertible version of the VCPD Cop Car. Janet would be driving.
    The All-Star Move – Rage brings out a Red virtua gun and a Blue virtua gun (the kind that were used in the arcades for Virtua Cop. figured this would remind those who played the game in the arcades of the whole red-gun/blue-gun thing) and fires them both at the other racers as they pass by them. (a bit harsh, i know. but come on, they’re from the 90’s. And Shadows been busting guns since 2005).
    Why They Would Make A Good Addition –
    A few reasons
    1 – With Janet Marshell driving that brings another female character in to the game that’s selectable. It evens out the roster a bit.
    2 – The current ASR doesn’t really focus much on the Saturn era. And the Saturn era was a mid-90’s point in time when a lot of teenagers were really getting in to gaming.
    3 – I wanted to pick a series from the Saturn but i wanted to limit myself and i didn’t want to choose a Sonic Team series. Virtua Cop seems like a really interesting choice and the characters could fit nicely in to a racing game as they’ve driven a vehicle before. Plus, Janet Marshell appeared in Fighters Megamix and became somewhat of a cult hero in the UK thanks to Sega Saturn Magazine when they gave her their own nickname called Janet ‘Hubcaps’ Marhsell. She drove the VCPD cop car, you see 🙂

    Anyways, there ya go. A Saturn era game that was successful and is not made by Sonic Team. Virtua Cop 2 is my choice 🙂

17. * The Character – ToeJam & Earl
    * The Series – ToeJam & Earl
    * The Vehicle – Their funky spacecraft
    * The All-Star Move – ToeJam & Earl open up a present and get a pair of rocket-skate shoes, which they use to plow through the other racers
    * And why they’d make a good addition: Almost every Sega fan loves ToeJam & Earl. And since they were close to making it into the first All-Stars Racing, it only makes sense to put them in the sequel!

18. •The Character Hidekazu Yukawa (AKA Mr. Sega)
    •The Series – He was in the Dreamcast Commercials and was the Senior Managing Director of Sega
    •The Vehicle – A car that looks like a dreamcast
    •The All-Star Move – The YES!!!! This moves cause everyone to slow down.
    •And why they’d make a good addition – HE’S MR SEGA!!!

    If anymore info need on Mr. Sega please look at
    http://www.giantbomb.com/hidekazu-yukawa/72-90306/

19. great idea to bring life in sw aauk.

    character: Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher (PS4 exclusive)
    franchise: Uncharted
    vehicle: the orange truck from chapter 21 (Uncharted 2)
    
    like in 4:27 (Drake on the car throwing items)
    All-star move: “bad luck”
    Drake gets himself a rocket launcher and shoots on the other drivers (like Eggman only slower but with a bigger explosion area)
    The truck is also driving faster.

    thye would be awesome and very unique exclusive characters.
    and Drake’s awesome lines would really fit.

20. * The Character – Tikal the Echidna

    * The Series – Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Adventure)

    * The Vehicle – Chaos Bike. Yep, you guessed it, Chaos transformed into a bike. It’s quite a small, compact bike, obviously to accomodate Tikal. Think of when Chaos absorbed extra emeralds and he got the ‘bones’ in his body? They make up the frame of the bike. Green lights (Chaos’ eyes). I’ve always loved the watery texture Chaos has. It also comes complete with a horn that goes ‘Chao’ every time it’s pressed.

    * The All-Star Move – Mystic Winds. Tikal gains a massive hurricane around her, sucking up other racers and depositing them to an earlier place in the track. (Part of Tikal being close to nature and all that stuff and the ‘mystic’ part because of the Mystic Ruins in SA1)

    * And why they’d make a good addition – I feel that Tikal is one of the more ‘forgotton’ characters to younger fans. Also, she was a change from a dramatic character, to someone who just wanted to thwart evil in the world. Even though she’s inside the Master Emerald and/or having tea parties with Chaos, she would drop all that for a chance to race!

21. As a huge fan of PSO, I’m gonna vote for a character from PSO, of course. What character? RAG RAPPY.

    Rag Rappy would be driving a car, covered in feathers. He’d have stats similar to Sonic’s as they are now, except slightly slower speed, and faster tricks. For one of his tricks, he’d hop out of the car and flap his wings. The other? He’d play dead, then pop back up when the trick ends.

    All star move would be interesting- A Hildebear would fall out of the sky, pick up the rappy and his car, and would run down the track at full speed. Pressing attack would cause the Hildebear to punch out racers that are close to it. At the end of the ASM, the hildebear would throw the car down the track a little ways then disappear.

    The great part about the rappy, is that there would be a 1/50 chance every time you race as him to be an Al rappy instead- the car and the rappy itself are blue, and the hildebear would be a hildeblue instead, as well.

    Rappy’s music would be Phantasy Star IV’s battle music. When he activates all-star, it’d be the Dragon music from PSO.

    What do you think?

22. The Character-Sparkster

    The Series-Rocket Knight Adventures

    The Vehicle-The Galiant:A unique creation on my part, essentially similar in build to that of Sonics Speed Star Kart. A medieval knight helmet visor covers the front portion of the car, all the way up to the drivers seat. Too avoid being too similar in appearance to that of the Speed Star the kart would be purple instead of the expected blue, this also acts as a homage to the Rocket Knight character Axel Gear who wears purple armour.

    The All-Star Move-His all star is pretty much what anyone would expect who has played the games, he jumps out of his kart and activates his jetpack giving him a significant speed increase. Although inferior in speed to Super Sonic, he posseses the ability to send projectiles shooting out of his sword which causes anyone they hit to spin out.

    And why they’d make a good addition:He was overshadowed by the more popular mascots of the time such as Sonic and Mario, so Sonic really owes him some screen time. He gathered a cult following and his games are widely regarded as top tier material. Plus it’s not every day you get to see a possum wielding a sword propelled around a race track by the jetpack fixed to his back.

23. The character: Abe (PS4/XBox720 exclusive)
    The series: Oddworld
    The vehicle: Elum (two legged animal)
    The All-Stars Move: Shrykull- Abe transforms into this mighty creature that can run faster and knock out the others racers.
    Why would he make a good addition: Abe comes from a beloved serie of good games and needs to come back. He would also be comical, with his famous lines “Hello”, “Follow me”, “Sorry” when he knocks other racers, he would even farts and laugh.

24. Since my email ( sonicdooms@gmail.com ) Was deleted from the comments, I’m forced to repost.

    Character: Sketch Turner

    Series: Comix Zone

    Vehicle: Paperplane: A gigantic Paper Airplane that Sketch is somehow able to ride like a hovercraft. It’s speed and handling are magnificent, but it takes a while to get up to top speed and it can be hard to get a grip on the track.

    The All-Star Move: Super Sketch- Sketch uses a powerful artifact to become a genuine superhero. In this form, he blazes down the track, carrying a huge pencil and scribbling all over his opponents as he pass them, spinning them out and obscuring their vision.

    Why They’d Make a Good Addition: Comix Zone is a very well-known, very well recieved obscure game from SEGA’s past. It’s protagonist is also radically different from most of the characters already present in the first ASR, allowing for a bit more variety among characters with his colorful style, but mature-oriented game.

25. the character=metal sonic
    the series=sonic the hedgehog
    the veicle=a more robotic version of sonics
    the all star move= metal jumps out of car and uses his turbine torso to zoom ahead like the super charcters
    why=beacuase he has always been in sonic multiplayer sequels like mario and sonic in the winter olympic games

26. *The character-Axel
    *The Series-Crazy Taxi
    *The vehicle- Taxi
    *The All-Star Move-He would probably pick up a passenger, and then proceed to speed past erveryone else, then drop the passenger off.
    *Why he’d make a good addition-Crazy Taxi was one of those SEGA games that sticks in your head no matter how hard you try to forget it, with it’s catchy music and fun,fast paced stages, Axel would be perfect for a game like S&SASR

27. The Character – Selvaria Bles
    The Series – Valkyria Chronicles
    The Vehicle – An Imperial tank
    The All-Star Move – Selvaria would go into her Valkyria form, complete with lance and shield, and shoot energy blasts at other racers.
    And why they’d make a good addition – Valkyria Chronicles is one of Sega’s latest franchises and is critically acclaimed. Selvaria may not be the main character from the series but she is one of the most iconic characters from the game so she would be one of the best choices to represent the series. Her inclusion would also spark interest in the series for those who don’t know about it and potentially promote sales for the game and it’s a good series that more people should be aware of.

28. Character: Jack
    Series: MadWorld
    Vehicle: His chopper
    All-Star Move: Chainsaw Rampage (Jack speeds forward and slices anything in his path out of the way. No gore of course, being E-Rated.)
    Why: MadWorld is a new and popular title, Jack already has a signature vehicle, and being published by Sega (at least in America) I can forsee it working out.

29. The Charater: Sparkster
    The Series: Rocket Knight Adventures
    The Vehicle: The head of the robot (http://retromedia.ign.com/retro/image/article/931/931005/sparkster-20081117021629830_640w.jpg). It would be the head only with four wheels.
    The All Star Move: Sparkster will activate his Jet-Pack, and he’ll put his goggles down. He then jumps off the car, and begins to fly at full speed. If you press the action button he will fire energy out of his sword.
    Why he would make a good edition: Rocket Knight Adventures was a fantastic game when it came out on the Genesis. It has a following, and people do love the possum!

30. The Character
    Blaze & Blaze (Blaze Fielding & Blaze the Cat)

    The Series
    Streets of Rage & Sonic Rush

    The Vehicle
    Trail Blazer: An open-top hot rod with a flame decal on the front and police lights on the back. Blaze Fielding sits in the driver’s seat while Blaze the Cat perches on the back. Possibly standing like Sonic does with the Tornado’s wings.

    The All-Star Move
    Twin Blaze – Fire lights up in both Blaze’s eyes, Blaze Fielding’s -bare knuckles- turn white as she grips the wheel and activates the nitro, while Blaze the Cat uses the Sol Emeralds to become Burning Blaze.
    Burning Blaze hops onto the rear of the vehicle facing away and acts as a feline flamethrower, propelling the vehicle yet further.

    Why they’d make a good addition
    I noticed some people wanting some Streets of Rage action in ASR, I like Blaze the Cat, and I just thought the idea of a crossover was funny.

31. * The Character – Jigglypuff
    * The Series – Pokemon
    * The Vehicle – A little pink Jigglypuff styled car.
    * The All-Star Move – Jigglypuff does her rollout attack as seen in the Super Smash Bros Series. Going at amazing speeds she knocks her opponents out of the way like Bowling Pins.
    * And why they’d make a good addition – Jigglypuff would be a Wii-Exclusive character because she is part of Nintendo. People would say Mario but he was actually declined to be in this game to avoid confusion with the Mario & Sonic Series. Jigglypuff is a lovable character and one of the most recognized pokemon and I think it would be cool to see Jigglypuff as a DLC. I have the 360 version and not the Wii but if Jigglypuff was available I would buy it just for Jigglypuff.

32. * The Character – Pulseman
    * The Series – Pulseman
    * The Vehicle – A bike, light blue color with steaks of white like lightning across the sides. Would have good accelleration but poor top speed.
    * The All-Star Move – Voltteccer: Pulseman would become surrounded in a flash of light, then shoot forward in a blue ball of energy. Anyone touching him would get shocked and spin out for a bit.
    * And why they’d make a good addition: Pulseman was relased on Virtual Console not long ago, so gamers would actually know who he is. And those who don’t would become more interested in who he is, and might buy his game to try it out.

33. *The Characters – Dreadknux & Roaraye
    *The Series – Summer of Sonic
    *The Vehicle – The Essex Fogorn
    *The All-Star Move – “Sonic Hour” – Other players are blighted with in-game commentary that they cannot turn off for 60 minutes.
    *Why they’d make a good addition – Target practice.

    T

34. The Character – Amitie
    * The Series – Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop
    * The Vehicle – Red Puyo Car
    * The All-Star Move – Bayoeen, Amitie unleashes the famed signiture move unleashing flowers all over the track forcing drivers whom touch them into spin outs, while she boosts forward
    * And why they’d make a good addition: Puyo Pop/Puyo Puyo while unpopular outside of japan is a very unique series branching off many spin offs, not to mention Amitie is a fun character who generally would be a cute addition to the roster.

35. * Character : Tempo the Cricket & Katy the Butterfly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGr9heUXsjA
    * Series: Tempo series (32X, Game Gear, Sega Saturn)
    * The Vehicle: A two-seater love buggy (get it?)
    * The All-Star Move: Randomly chooses Tempo or Katy to become Super Tempo or Super Katy. If Super Tempo is chosen then he puts on a cowsuit and becomes big and muscular, then flies down the track like a superhero with Katy riding on his back, leaving a trail of bubbles which trap other racers temporarily if they touch them. If Super Katy is chosen then she puts on boxing gloves and becomes really tall and sexy and flies down the track with Tempo on her back punching other racers out of the way.
    * And why they’d make a good addition: Tempo is one of Sega’s most underrated franchises of all time. It was never recognized for its incredible animation and superb sound quality for the 32X, yet also spawned a number of great sequels. This series needs to be recognized!

36. The Character: Chuck D Head
    The Series: Decap Attack
    The Vehicle: The Mummy Mobile – A pick-up truck with a bandage style all-over decal design.
    The All-Star Move: Chuck calls in head, who is used as a homing missile to whack other racers off the road!
    Why he’d make a good addition: Decap Attack was a comedic game, an almost parody of “Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure.” With Zobio and Zobiko from the Japanese House of the Dead: EX already in, it would be fun to have an undead character that most die-hard SEGA fans could identify with.

    email: superhedgie@gmail.com

37. The Character- Blaze (All consoles)
    The Series- Sonic the Hedgehog
    The Vehicle- A white and purple convertible with flames along the side, and shoots out fire when drifting.
    The All-Star Move- Blaze jumps out of her car and spins in tornado of fire destroying players in it path. When you press A/X she would leave flames behind her.
    Why she would be a good addition-
    1)Blaze is one of the more better received characters in the franchise latley.
    2)It would be good to have another female in the roster, and Blaze would be a very good candidate for that, because she would be good female figure.
    3)She would make a good girl rival to Sonic in terms of speed.
    Yeah so that’s it. Hope I win!

38. Hmmm… Not sure if anyone has ever contemplated this, but:

    1.) The Character – Michael Jackson.
    2.) The Series – Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. (You know, that one Sega Genesis/Arcade game.)
    3.) The Vehicle – The silver sports car that he transforms into in the movie. Only in this case, it would be modified so that he is driving a convertible version of said sports car; he would NOT be the car itself. Michael Jackson would be wearing his Smooth Criminal outfit – a white suit and white fedora.
    4.) The All-Star Move – Michael Jackson catches a shooting star and his car transforms into the giant robot. He would speed up as the robot flies and would be able to shoot missles/lazers at other racers.
    5.) Justification for Inclusion – Love him or hate him, Michael Jackson is just plain iconic. Fans of Michael Jackson would have fun racing as him and non-fans would have fun beating him in a race. Michael Jackson was also a fan of video games and showed up in many other SEGA games. Why not add the King of Pop to the list of All-stars?

    Of course, this inclusion would probably hard to do. Getting permission to do this would be difficult.

39. The Character: Honey The Cat
    The Series: Sonic The Hedgehog / Fighting Vipers
    The Vehicle: Probably something Small and sporty,with a yellow-red-Black colorscheme. You know,something that’d fit a cat well.
    The All-Star Move:This one would be tricky. I’d say She gains a speedboost and automatically scratches anyone that you shunt into from the side,making them spin?
    And finally,why would she be a good addition: Well,for a character that wasnt actually in a retail game BUT Has her own fanclub has to count for something,right? Besides,she would count for both Sonic AND Fighting Viper fans!
    And there you have it.(Also,I almost crapped a brick seeing as Digi Posted 2 above me. Didnt he make NiGHTs music..?)

40. I’ll give it a shot.

    The Character – Blaze the Cat

    The Series – Sonic the Hedgehog

    The Vehicle – “Shooting Star” a purple racecar that’s similar to her own design (kinda like how Sonic’s car resembles him a bit)

    The All-Star Move – Burning Blaze (Blaze uses the Sol Emeralds to turn super, and blasts through the field. Can throw fireballs at rivals)

    And why they’d make a good addition – 1) One of the better new characters, very well developed and can stand on her own; 2) Amy shouldn’t be the only female from the Sonic series; 3) Surely she would be more appeasing to fans than Big would, yet he made it in the first game. ^^; No offense to Big fans.

41. * The Character – Chicken 1 and 2 (Columns III)
    * The Series – Columns
    * The Vehicle – Obviously the jewels from Columns–fast speed, but poor handling, as turning to the side has never been a part of the game. 😀 A chariot pulled by the Sphinx would be a nice touch, though.
    * The All-Star Move – The dreaded Crush Bar lifts players off the track, suspending them and allowing for clear steering by Chicken 1 and 2.
    * Why they’d make a good addition: As the supporting characters of one of the most underrated puzzle games, Chicken 1 and 2 would bring the fun of Columns to modern gamers while being tongue-in-cheek about a classic Sega franchise. Not to mention we’d probably find out what their names are. 😛

42. * The Character – Vectorman
    * The Series – Vectorman
    * The Vehicle – Dune Buggy Morph (he IS his dune buggy)
    * The All-Star Move – Vectorman unmorphs and rockets down the course in his sludge barge. Pressing the Use Item button initiates the after-burners. On corners, he spills some sludge, causing a shorter version of the Pocket Rainbow’s effect.
    * And why they’d make a good addition –
    1) He’s as requested now (along with Ristar) as NiGHTS was before he became the flag-bearer.
    2) He needs some love after the whole Vectorman PS2 episode.
    3) His series is awesome.
    4) He’s Vectorman. ‘Nuff said.

43. Ahhh, sweet! i actually drew this just in case such things would happen!!!

    >>> http://magicwaffles123.deviantart.com/art/Silver-the-Hedgehog-Hover-Bike-155692124 <<<

    Character – Silver the Hedgehog

    Series – Sonic the Hedgehog

    Vehicle – Future Psycle (A hover bike with a single floating wheel that glows as silver touches it)

    All Star – Super Silver (Silver uses the emeralds to glow and zoom forward! using his powered telekinesis he grabs nearby players and pushes them to the sides!)

    Why is he a good addison- I think silver would make a great addison to the team of racers! he has such unique characteristics and access to future capabilities. Silver has been in many sonic the hedgehog games, and though only a few show you his story, i still consider him one of the three main hedgehogs!

44. Just so you know thewafflefactory, I’ve already did Silver. Just so you know.

    Doesn’t matter you can choose the same character if you want! 🙂

45. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/9687/27022010089.jpg

    *The Character – T-Bird
    *The Series – Magic Merch time, With T-Bird
    *The Vehicle – Das AutoStetson
    *The All-Star Move – “”all-star claw machine fail” T-Bird uses a giant claw he nicked from Alton Towers in an attempt to pick up other racers from their cars, which fails and is followed by profanity.
    *Why they’d make a good addition – The hat.

46. *The Character – Sackboy (PS3/PS4 exclusive).
    * The Series – Little Big Planet.
    * The Vehicle – A hybrid car made from different. materials. Really straightforward looking like a kid designed it.
    * The All-star Move – Sackboy uses his Jetpack that he uses during creation mode and flies forward, meanwhile random shaped materials fall from the sky (Somewhat like Banjo’s All-star on the 360 version). He mimics the look of the last character he hit with it and stays looking that way until the end of the race.
    *Why he/she/it would make a good addition – Sackboy is a great family character like the rest of the SaSAR roster and fits in perfectly.

47. Email: LoneShadowWolf7@hotmail.com

    * The Character – Cloud (PS4 only)

    * The Series – FF7

    * The Vehicle – Fenrir (Motorcycle)
    http://www.templates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/5-fenrir_test_vray_studio3_by_wen_jr.jpg

    * The All-Star Move – ‘Ultima Break’ Cloud’s unleashes his black wing as he flies pass his opponents, hitting them with his Buster Sword.

    * Why he’d make a good addition –
    1) Sony needs to have an awesome exclusive character.
    2) Who doesn’t want to bash little noobs around with a all-star move that uses a huge sword like that.
    3) His series is awesome.
    4) His Bike is awesome.
    5) He’s Cloud. Need we say more.

48. i hope you guys will like this =)

    *The Character – BUG!
    *The Series – BUG!

    *The Vehicle – the BUG! mobile

    *The All-Star Move – “SUPER BUG!” (if you recall at the end of each stage bug turns into a multi-colored flying version of himself so if it would act like sonic’s invincibility and if it hits the other racers it would cause them to be bounced back with a little spin for style)

    *Why they’d make a good addition – he is another one of the forgotten SEGA characters mostly because he appeared in two games for SEGA SATURN and then PC but mostly because of his beastly stinger and bad-ass smack talk >=D

49. *The Character: Ristar

    *The Series: Ristar (duh)

    *The Vehicle: His car should be something wacky and cartoony, like Aiai’s banana car, except in the shape of a shooting star. He should have good handling, with good acceleration and a short boost charge time but low-to-moderate top speed.

    *The All-Star Move: A spin pole appears over Ristar’s car. He grabs onto it with his arms and spins around rapidly before launching himself like a shooting star out of the car and forward into his opponents. Works similar to Super Sonic (though not quite as fast), and Ristar can stretch out his arms ahead of him to rubber band into opponents, attacking them and gaining even more speed.

    Why Ristar deserves to be in ASR2: Ristar is one of the very best games SonicTeam has ever produced, and is in my opinion one of the best platformers ever made (alongside Sonic 2 and SMB3). The character design is also excellent, and I know there are a lot of Genesis/Mega Drive fans out there who long to see the little star’s return. ASR has a lot of SEGA characters from the Dreamcast, post-SEGA console, and even Master System days, but other than Sonic its Genesis/Mega Drive-era representation is pretty much nonexistent. Ristar is a true gem of the 16-bit era and is the perfect choice to represent this part of SEGA’s history.

    EXTRA! Race Tracks: I think that Planet Sonata (the music level) would be a great motif for a race track. There could be drums on certain points in the track which launch cars into the air, and spikes which slow you down. Classic Ristar enemies like the little goomba look-a-likes could appear as obstacles, and since it’s a music-themed level, the horn item could have a higher chance of appearing. It could also have horns that blow racers off the track like in that one Samba de Amigo course. Another good level motif would be the lava level with metal pipes sticking out of the rock walls and flames shooting out of the ground at certain points. There could even be switches on the track that switch walls of fire on temporarily when attacked or run over.

50. The Character: Ristar

    The Series: Ristar, the Shooting Star- 1995

    The Vehicle: A rocket car, with all sorts of Ristar-related insignia on it. If possible, the wheels’ axles depict Kaiser Greedy sticking his tongue out at the camera. Top Speed is top-notch, but handling suffers as a result.

    The All-Star Move: Shooting Star (Grabbing the crank atop his vehicle, and swinging around it in similar fashion to the cranks in his game (the ones leading to Bonus Stages), Ristar blasts forward, a trail of stars in his wake. The camera then quickly switches position to directly above Ristar, so that the player can control him just like one would in his own game. A throwback, indeed.)

    The Reason Why: Ristar debuted really late in the Genesis era, so his popularity isn’t nearly as high as it could be.

51. Must get Big the Cat print!!!!

    Character: Vyse & Aika (Vyse driving, Aika on lookout)
    Series: Skies of Arcadia
    Vehicle: The Broken Mast (A small Sky Pirate ship that can no longer take full flight but still able to hover)
    All Star Move: Pirate’s Wrath (Aika takes the helm while Vyse storms ahead bringing sword based justice to all)
    Good Addition: 1) Pirates > Ninjas (sorry Espio) 2) After Valkyrie Chronicles they need to get back to their Sky Pirate roots 3) Need more double team cars.

    Damn typing on DS is hard

52. I was thinking of someone who is not from the gaming world but loved just as much worldwide.

    Charactor: The Doctor

    Serise: BBC TV Show Doctor Who

    Vehicle: TARDIS

    All Star Move: He time travels throught the Time Vortex putting him in the lead or a better position in the race while the time vortex slows down the other racers.

    why they’d make a good addition: i think The Doctor would make a great new charctor because he would invite a whole new set of people buying the game. For me it would make it extra exra awsome Sonic and The Doctor together in a game Pure heaven for me.

53. The Character: Gum

    The Series: Jet Set Radio/Jet Grind Radio

    The Vehicle: A green convertible with white stripes along the sides. Graffiti artwork of “GUM” on the hood. The wheels are the same as Gum’s roller skates’ wheels, where they come out and a cross.

    The All-Star Move: A Tokyo-To styled tank appears behind her and begins chasing her. She jumps out of her car and hops on the tank, while the tank runs the course (the person driving it would be trying to get her off). The player takes control of the tank and is able to shoot at other racers. When the move is over, Gum sprays spray paint in the tank driver’s eyes and hops back in her car (which had disappeared) as the tank gets left behind.

    Why they’d be a good addition: Gum is undoubtedly one of the more popular characters of Jet Set Radio, and to be honest, I find it odd to see Beat represent JSRF in this game even though he’s not the main character.

54. The Character: Agent G (driver) & Issac Washington (passenger)

    The Series: House of the Dead

    The Vehicle: Ice Cream truck (from HOTD:Overkill)

    The All-Star Move: G puts the pedal to the medal and speeds up while Issac opens the back doors throwing ice cream buckets on the floor tripping any racer behind them with Issac insulting them (even an ocassional curse bleeped out by a car horn).

    And why they’d make a good addition: Their sense of humor makes them lovable characters and depending on your performance in the race the characters will either insult other racers or insult each other for hilarity.

55. •The Character – Sir Tongara de Pepperouchau III (“Pepper”)
    •The Series – Clockwork Knight
    •The Vehicle – Barobaro (his Noble Donkey Clockwork Steed)
    •The All-Star Move – Wind-Up Charge! – Pepper and Barobaro become invincible for a limited time, they speed up and Pepper launches Barobaro’s cork head at opponents in front
    •And why they’d make a good addition – i’ve always loved the clockwork knight series, i played it as a kid and was one of the most inventive and awesome games i’ve ever played… i think he fits the roll since he’s a forgotten SEGA classic, and he already seems fit to be part of the game since he already has somewhat of a vehicle!

56. Ok here goes for my entry. With this i will take you back to the days of the beloved sega saturn.

    Character = Hornet (Daytona car) – could put tom cruise in the drivers seat =0)

    Series = Fighters Megamix

    Vehicle = Red Hornet Daytona Car

    All-Star Move = The car would go Transformers on your opponent and transform into Hornet from Fighters Megamix to the sound Dayyyyytooooonnaaaaa!! Once tranformed runs doun the track shooting oil puddles in fornt of the racers.

    Why would this make a good charcater? Well apart from being one of Sega’s most recognized cars from one of Sega’s most sucessful arcade racers back in the day, it would be suited to to any racer. It may also bring back intrest for another fighters megamix game 😉

57. • The Character : Isara Gunther (pilot) and Welkin Gunther (all-star move) (maybe PS3/PSP exclusive)
    • The Series : Valkyria Chronicles
    • The Vehicle : highly mobile Gallian tank “Eldelweiss” (modified for racing)
    • The All-Star Move : Welkin opens the hatch of the “Edelweiss”, rifle to his shoulder, and orders to shoot. He closes the hatch and the Edelweiss fires shells on everything at its range.
    • Why they’d make a good addition : Valkyria Chronicles is a recent series of SEGA taking magnitude (Valkyria Chronicles 2 recently arrived in Japan on PSP), it would firstly be an interesting marketing operation,and also be very fun to drive a tank transformed into a racing beast.

58. Here’s the entry of a long time fan lost somewhere in France.

    * The Character: Fang the Sniper aka Nack the Weasel

    * The Series: Sonic the Hedgehog

    * The Vehicle: Upgraded Marvelous Queen

    * The All-Star Move: “Hail of Bullets”. Fang jump on the top of his vehicule, draw his cork-firing popgun and begin to shoot everywhere while spinning (and use the gun as a colt single action army holding down the trigger and “fanning” the hammer with the other hand) and anyone on his path while the Marvelous Queen accelerate. Then, he will put the revolver back in its holster like a true cowboy and will continue to race.

    * And why they’d make a good addition: In ASR, SUMO Digital tried to please many fans by including a lot of old characters that have been appreciated when they appeared along the regular Sonic’ characters but many of them where forgotten. That’s why many fans loved to see some Ryo or Alex Kidd in this game despite the fact that NiGHTS is not playable but it’s not a problem for me, we had the chance to play him in other SEGA party games so we had to use other forgottent characters like Fang who is probably the last one behind Mighty and Ray.

    Why another Sonic character and not another one ? This is simple: the main guest cast is old characters, right, but the Sonic cast ? Yes, Sonic, Tais, Shadow, Robotnik… They all are regular and not forgotten, even Big is back in the saddle since Sonic Adventure so we need a good old Sonic character back from the dead and Fang is the main good choice. Why ? He already have a vehicule, the Marvelous Queen ! Little upgrades and he will kicks ass on Grand Prix. He’s also a bad guy, we want to play bad guy and not only heroes as we did Bowser or Waluigi in Mario Kart. It’s a chance to see a way to bring him back, even in a cameo in a Sonic game with a new school style (a la Revolver Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 3 ? So cool !) and why not a voice actor. He will add some fun with unfair gimmicks and bring something many fans wants in the Sonic saga: somme good mostalgia among the usual Sonic friends cast because Sonic also have the right to have old characters in his playable characters cast and not classic ones with old characters from others game as guest.

59. Character: Team Chaotix (Vector, Charmy and Espio)

    Series: Sonic the Hedgehog

    Vehicle: The Car from Sonic Heroes (The one where Vector drive, Espio is a wheel and Charmy flies while holding it above so it can jump. You know the car.)

    All-Star Move: Mighty the Armadillo runs in and picks up the car over his head and runs with it. As he comes up on the other racers he slaps them with either Vector, Charmy or Espio as his weapon.

    Why Good addition?: This would be including 4 beloved Sonic characters in one racer (With Sonic’s name in the title they should squeeze in as many sonic characters as they can.) This would also be a triumphant return of Mighty the Armadillo which would be a major fan service. He being the all star move would educate newer gamers about how Mighty is the lost member of the chaotix.

60. Ok time to put my character in ^^.
    Character: Bean the Dynamite

    Series: Sonic The Hedgehog

    Vehicle: A green sports car

    All-Star Move: When Bean gets his all-star move his car gets a explosive turbo boost, plus he also throws cherry bombs at the other racers which might look harmless but they can really pack a punch.

    Why he should be in the game? Bean has only been in one game in his entire life, so I feel it’s time for the duck with the explosive gifts to make a comeback, he might not’ve the most popular character in the series but heck he was a good character and he was awesome back in the day and I just feel that now is the time for Bean to make his comeback.

61. Character: Bayonetta

    Series: Bayonetta

    Vehicle: ‘Umbran Motorcycle’ – Modified motorcyle used during Chapter VIII: Route 666.

    All-Star Move: ‘Scolopendra’ – Bayonetta summons this demonic centipede from the depths of inferno using her hair, which forms beneath her motorcylce and carries Bayonetta down the track, spinning out any racers that get in its way.

    Why they would make a good addition: Imaginative, stylish, powerful and alluring, Bayonetta is SEGA’s newest iconic action heroine. Recieving superb reception both in terms of gameplay and character design, the game has been a hit amongst a wide range of gamers, with difficulty and configurations allowing even the most casual player to pull off visually spectacular moves as well as the hardcore. Bayonetta surely deserves a chance to race amongst the All-Stars, being one of 2010’s greatest heroines and embodying the creative, stylish and unique image that a true SEGA character stands for.

62. Might as well have a go at this – should be fun to do

    Character: Gilder

    Series: Skies of Arcadia

    Vehicle: Claudiette, a potential smaller craft that allows the movement between the Claudia and main ports without needing to move the ship fully into dock. It not only makes it easier to investigate areas, it also serves as the perfect decoy for Clara. It would be more of a speed craft rather than anything else, in keeping with the agile sister ship it is based off of.

    All-Star Move: Claudia Call-in – Calls in the Claudia to rain various bombs upon the opposing racers. Depending upon position, the Claudia will fire more or less shots the further back or forward you are in the field (such as 6 salvos for a 3rd place move opposed to 10 for a last place move). There is also a 1/16 chance of the move bringing in the Delphinus, using its Moon Stone Cannon to devastate the opposing field. The time of the cannon will vary depending upon the location of Gilder in the pack. Further down the ranking = slight increase in the time the cannon fires.

    Reasons for inclusion: Skies of Arcadia is one of those game series that SEGA should promote its link to more. The fact that there are too few pirates in SEGA’s back catalogue means that if Gilder is included, SEGA have an opportunity to solve the age-old question of which is better: Pirates (SoA cast) or Ninjas (Espio et al). Surely that alone is worth the inclusion.

    Oh, you want more? Well, the game series (well, Arcadia and the revamp Legends, anyway) is often regarded as a hidden gem, and it would be great to see SEGA do a Shenmue on it and bring it out into a wider knowledge. Plus, it’d be nice to see more human-esque characters in the roster to contrast the Sonic crew

    And why Gilder and not Vyse and co? Personal preference – and he’d make more suitable quips whilst racing.

    That and he has a parrot.

63. http://PastytheHuman.deviantart.com/art/Earthworm-Jim-concept-art-156853251

    Earthworm Jim
    from… Earthworm Jim
    vehicle: pocket rocket
    company: interplay/shiny entertainment
    All-Star: BOVINE RETRIBUTION (Jim plays golden udders like bag pipes and cows rain from the sky, landing on the competition)
    But…but…but…why?: Because Jim made his debut on a Sega console and Shiny and Sega had a pretty good relationship back in the day. But more importantly, Sega Racing needs more zany humor. Yes, it has plenty of comic relief, but it needs ZANY comedy! Nothing would be more “groovy” than this delightful character’s induction into the Sega Racing world.

64. Character: Jet the Hawk

    Series: Sonic the Hedgehog

    Vehicle:: Legendary Wind Master. A green car with speed equal to Sonic, and has a beak at the front of it, and a bird tail at the back.

    All-Star move: Razor Leaf
    Jet unleashes a load of leaves that cut through the opponent.

    Reason for inclusion: Jet is a very underrated Sonic character, We hardly see him outisde of the Riders games. I think it would be good to see him in a racing game that isn’t Riders.

    E-mail: TurbotheHedgehog@gmail.com

65. The Character: Rick

    The Series: Splatterhouse

    The Vehicle: Tentacle monster from the lake level on SH2

    The All-Star Move: Becomes Super Rick, then chainsaws up somebody’s car, like how those two guys died in the beginning of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Also he could shoot somebody with a 12 gauge.

    Why they’d make a good addition: You know, it’s like, good or something to try to make a bright happy series darker. But seriously, it’s Rick. Try to tell me you wouldn’t love to see him be like “JENNIFER, I’LL SAVE YOU!” and then murder one of the sonic characters you hate.

66. The Character – Cream and Vanilla Rabbit (Vanilla driving, Cream using weapons).

    The Series – Sonic the Hedgehog

    The Vehicle – Gemerl Racer (A car shaped like Gemerl from Sonic Advance 3).

    The All-Star Move – Chao Blitz; Cheese and Chocola appear and strike down racers as Cream and Vanilla approach them.

    And why they’d make a good addition – Cream is probably the most developed Sonic character in the series. She has a known home, a known parent and family. She’s been out of the spotlight for a while, and is in need of a new appearance. It would also mark Vanilla’s and Gemerl’s 3D debut in the series.

67. Hope I’m not too late

    * The Character – Sakura Shinguji and Oogami Ichiro
    * The Series – Sakura Taisen
    * The Vehicle – Steam Koubu Car
    * The All-Star Move – Sakura and Oogami jump into their Koubu’s and performs the Wild Cherry Blossom Dance! Oka Ranbu! that would blast any racer who is caught in the blast.
    * And why they’d make a good addition – Sakura Shinguji and Oogami Ichiro are well known characters from Sega/Reds’s RPG Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars in the US.) The series is very well know in Japan and is demanded as one of most requested game that needs another sequel, along with Shenmue according to Famitsu.

68. The Character – Omochao

    The Series – Sonic the hedgehog series

    The Vehicle – A chao-like spaceship

    The All-Star Move – Using the omochao gun (from shadow the hedgehog) against all players, knocking them out.

    And why they’d make a good addition – This character has been hated by many fans, making him cool would make people think of him differently.

69. I’m copy/pasting My last post because I didn’t include my email. I would’ve figured our emails being found by looking into our accounts.

    Email: rgxsupersonic at AOL dot com

    “The Character: Agent G (driver) & Issac Washington (passenger)

    The Series: House of the Dead

    The Vehicle: Ice Cream truck (from HOTD:Overkill)

    The All-Star Move: G puts the pedal to the medal and speeds up while Issac opens the back doors throwing ice cream buckets on the floor tripping any racer behind them with Issac insulting them (even an occasional curse bleeped out by a car horn).

    And why they’d make a good addition: Their sense of humor makes them lovable characters and depending on your performance in the race the characters will either insult other racers or insult each other for hilarity.”
