Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed guest characters Danica Patrick and Wreck-It Ralph have their vehicles on display in two new promo photos. Danica’s images are the most interesting, as up until now we have yet to see anything of her in-game self. Danica’s car might look familiar, as it is based off the design of a fictional car she designed with Hot Wheels for a toy car. Ralph remains unchanged from when we saw him last at the Sonic Boom event. After the break, check out Ralph’s image.

BRACE FOR BITCHFEEEEEEEST~!
Damn, Danica should have driven a rebuild of the Hornet from Daytona USA. What’s the point here ? They could have made a hit with their mistake, paying homage to a classic but hey, it’s SEGA, so let’s do bad decisions again.
My hopes were obviously too high for this game.
wow you must be really fun at parties
Oh brother. Yes, because what car a bonus character has obviously makes or breaks the entire game. XP
I just find it odd she’s driving something similar to a F-1 vehicle when she’s a Nascar driver.
She was an F-1 driver before getting involved in NASCAR. I actually think she still participates in F-1 too.
“The more you know.”
Not F1, but IndyCar. I know they’re similar, but they’re not the same.
Sumo has hinted that the final unlockable racer will cover more than one IP, so there is still hope for a vehicle that is Hornet on land, another IP on air and a third IP on sea. Perhaps with a super sweet driver to operate it.
Besides, Danica doesn’t deserve the Hornet!
At least the car looks cool. Plus, this will finally give Danice a chance to win a race!
Weird fun fact: SEGA teamed up with Hot Wheels in 2003 to create a line of cars. Each car represented an IP: Space Channel 5, House of the Dead, Shinobi, Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio Future. All of those IPs are in All-Stars Racing Transformed.
I remember those. I almost bought some of them, but couldn’t find them all so I just never did.
Sweet trivia.
She’s looking great
I agree. I really like her character model.
No wonder this game is coming out at $39.99. Between Nascar’s Danica Patrick, her Hot Wheels and Go Daddy decked-out car and Wreck it Ralph, the cross promotion practically pays for the entire game. XD
That $40 price point is so f***ing sweet.
So when does the game come out?
I see Ralph from the new Wreck it Ralph film will be joining Danica also along with the rest of the roster cast, never knew till now.
Have to agree with comments here, there’s no point bringing out something classic if you are going to change it too much, the Hornet was iconic as it is.
It’s becoming more increasingly common for companies to fix what ain’t broke.
End of November 🙂
I would appreciated something a bit more caricatured but I suppose this fits nicely with fully proportioned characters like Akira or Shinobi.
Her eyes kinda weird me out. Reminds me of Xena.
….this isn’t even NASCAR race car! It’s an indy car. How stupid is that Sega?
See RT’s reply. She’s an F-1 driver as well.
She’s a Indy racer too, dang it! Where is Jacky Bryant when you need him. He’s a Indy racer too.
No Bare Knuckle, Gunstar Heroes, Sakura Taisen, Puyopuyo, Phantasy Star, Shining… but, hey, they have Eternal Arcadia!! A big classic that everybody knows and got a lot of sequels!
-____-;
I agree with STORM! since Sumo is trying to push for a Japan release. SumoRex said that they would have to rework the game for the Japanese market.
I don’t think he would mean new characters/tracks by “rework”.
I’m puzzled why SEGA won’t release this in Japan.
It may be lacking some characters from some other sega franchises, but u people gotta admit it… it’s a roster way better than ANY kart/racing game to date..
Every time a new character is revealed I say “What? No way!? He/She??”
Since when did Keira Knightly sign up for this game?
I’m loving everything about this game but 2 things. No announcement of Alex Kid, Bonanza Bros & Billy Hatcher, my 3 main characters from the original All-Stars Racing. Also Denica Patrick, not that I hate her, but it’s me personally hating to realistic of characters to be included. It’s like Nathan Drake in PlayStation All-Stars, I hate how out of place he is, since he’s just a regular guy, though, I guess he was going to be in it no matter what.
So a Billy Hatcher Snow level is confirmed, so
All 4 Classic returns are also announced, shame the 3rd Monkey Ball stage won’t return, would have fit the criteria quite easily.
SunShine Tour
Egg Hangar
Shibuya Downtown
Roulette Road
Also announced allsonic stages were revealed (5).
Ocean View
Sky Sanctuary
Galactic Parade
Egg Hangar
Roulette Road
Now if only Billy Hatcher is in, a Alex Kid stage and character and a form of RiStar in a stage or as a character
What about Ryo Hazuki or Segata San Shiro?
If they don’t make it in at some point, then the original will always have something over the sequel.
It’s nice to see a fresh face or two in Sonic’s new racing game, even if they’re 3rd party. Danica’s car looks great, and it’s also in my favorite color. Wreck-it Ralph also has a nice ride, though I’d like a better view of boat-mode. Also the last time I saw a 6-wheel car with 4-wheel steering was on Mario Kart Double Dash!!, it was Bowser’s.
