"From the very first seconds"
Watching your vehicle morph into a speedster, a boat then a plane over a single track: this constant transformation shakes up the race and makes it unpredictable. Dropping items, grazing the edge and snatching victory in a group trigger shouts of joy. Colourful, snappy and fiercely convivial, a kart racer as spectacular as it is addictive.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Wii U) price, value & rarity
Is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed still worth playing in 2026?
A racing game from Sumo Digital, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed gathers Sega's mascots on tracks that morph mid race, alternating driving, sailing and aerial flying thanks to transforming vehicles. The variety of layouts, the sense of spectacle and the joyful multiplayer make it one of the best kart racers outside Mario. The sometimes harsh solo difficulty shows. An excellent racing game for Sega fans and lovers of snappy multiplayer karting on Wii U.
