Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was announced on April 30, 2012. It is the sequel to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and is being directed by Gareth Wilson, the former lead designer of Blur, a similar racing game that also uses power-ups as a prominent feature.

Gameplay

The game's sur-name comes from its new transforming vehicle system, which allows players to traverse land, sea, and sky by transforming their vehicles mid-race, allowing for much more varied tracks. The courses also change with different features during each lap.

Characters

The game has characters from several of Sega's previous franchises making their debut in the All-Stars Racing series, including Gilius Thunderhead and Vyse who both were cut from the previous title's roster. Along with new Sega franchise characters and characters from Non-Sega franchises with additional characters planned for DLC. The two Non-Sega characters include Ralph from the upcoming Walt Disney movie Wreck-it Ralph and real professional Nascar racer Danica Patrick.
