Sonic & Sega All-Stars Snowfall Walls E3 Footage
Game Reactor TV had a chance to talk to David Corless, head of marketing for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, at the latest E3 event. David played through the Billy Hatcher themed Blizzard Castle race track, Snowfall Walls, choosing Sonic as his playable racer.
A few of the features shown during the demo were one of the short cuts to choose from during the stage, as well as your ability to drift around corners to gain a boost of speed. After Sonic fell into last place (not our Sonic), a special all-star move was activated, turning Sonic into Super Sonic as he blasted ahead to try a last second comeback. Check below to view the footage yourself and get some more insight into the much anticipated upcoming video game. Thanks to my good buddy, sonicsmashkirby, for sending me the link.
Better be a Phantasy Star level in there somewhere.
my news tip XD
Sorry about that, it’s late and I am sleepy.
I agree on the Phantasy Star request, I hope they do at least reference the game series some how.
■Andrew Paulson it ok but i should’t have freaked out about in the first place im just glad the news was posted and that’s what matters im sorry
I absolutely love the Drift Mechanic, it looks great.
“Magic Sonic”? Gees, where do they get these reviewers? Though, this guy explains much better of the games gimmick. I’m happy that there is only eight cars competing on the road, rather then twelve like in Mario Kart. So there might be possible fairness on online play.
Oooh… Wow… Magic Sonic!
The game looks good so far I`ll be happy if Billy gets confirmed playable
i really want to see someone play as tails at comicon if it’s playble that way
0:56 – David can’t say if Billy Hatcher is in the game…..
I smell CONSPIRACY!
Wow. SEGA may make mediocre games generally, but they usually look pretty damn good visually!
Love the sonic heroes reference, but the kart racing looks alittle slow to me. Also they should have more powerups then that.
Magic Sonic, huh? Gives me an idea…
T
Damnit, sent before finishing!
Anyway, the game looks great. I’m definitely going to sniff this out when released. 🙂
Not gonna lie, I laughed when Sonic thrusted his stuff on his car. 😛
… ‘K, I’ll shut up now.
Thank you now this is a Good Review this guy is not saying its a Mario Kart Rip Off and he is not bashing Sonic the game looks great so far and its still in the demo though =)
Simply the best racing game ever I BET!!! I love the game sound, visualty and the Super mechanics it has. I barely can’t wait to own and play this game!!! Love It!!!
EVERYBODY SUPER SONIC RACING!

Ok enough E3 stuff, Mr Sumo Digital. Plz confirm Shenmue or Honey from Fighting Vipers or heads will roll.
I really hope there’s a “House of the Dead” course. THAT WOULD BE KICKASS
It isn’t a reviewer, it’s David Corless, head of marketing for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, who made the Magic Sonic comment.
When I first saw they were making this game, I admit, I despised it, but it looks smooth now, and watching Sonic road rage is kind of funny.
C’mon Jet Grind Radio stage!
Jet…grind…radio!!! Or nights….or Spring yard zone…
Heh, I really like the characters spazzing about in the carsa. Nintendo should steal that for their game, really.
Certainly has a lot of posing and gesticulating to some comical effect. I just hope it plays well and has lots of cool characters AND stages. Jet Grind Radio would be a great insertion both stage and character wise, and most definitely RISTAR! That would be so cool. Also NiGHTs wouldn’t be bad either, considering this is about Sonic and SEGA ALL-STARS.
Seriously, man. Billy Hatcher, JGR, Alex Kidd, Kid C., Ristar, and more I’m hoping for to be in the game. So far there are 8 confirmed: Sonic, Amy, Tails, Eggman, Shadow, Big, AiAi, and Samba. If they really are going for 20, I hope they don’t end up filling up 5-10 spaces with Sonic characters. Actually, how many are left?
Let’s see, there’s Silver (fuck no!), Blaze (eh… maybe), Cream (no way, what for?), Marine (eh… no), the Chaotix crew (please god no), Knuckles (mmmMAYBE), Shade (uhh… really?), Rouge (no, and especially not with that car), Omega (NO!), Metal Sonic (he’s already in Winter Olympics, so NO!), Werehog (it’s still SONIC, dagnabbit!), and just for the hell of it, Mecha Sonic (actually, that might be pretty cool). Now that’s 13 potential characters for the game minus the cool but unlikely Mecha Sonic from S3&K. I’d rather not see any of them in the game, but seeing as how Silver seems to have a growing fanbase (Blaze as well), he may get thrown in there with Blaze, but I sincerely hope not.
The only other Sonic characters I wouldn’t mind seeing in the game are long unused characters Ray, Mighty, and Fang. THAT’S IT. Fill the remaining 9-12 spots with other popularly nostalgic and underused SEGA all-stars. And include stages relevant to their universes!
Magic Sonic, that guy should really play some more Sonic games.
Magic Sonic CONFIRMED FOR BRA- err, ASR.
Treleus : I`ll be happy if Knuckles & Blaze get confirmed since alot of Sonic Fans want those 2 be playable
■sonic41 that was David Corless, head of marketing for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing >.<
1. Isn’t it sad that he called it Magic Sonic?
2. ALRIGHT! I wanna play it now!
hey now that ive seen some drifting, this is looking even better! the levels are nice, and give plenty of opportunity for air tricks 😀
–> still hoping for Knuckles to be playable, because to be honest, seeing Big the cat and eggman being confirmed before him worries me. i bet they end up making the next sonic character silver because he’s probably got more fans now days… though i think Knuckles would be more varied in gameplay. (or personality wise)
