Acceleration - Higher number means it takes less time to reach the top speed. Handling - Vehicles with higher handling are easier to control. Dash - Dash affects speed from the speed boosts (including drifting). Weight - Heavier vehicles grips to the road better. =============================================================================== ______________________________ \ #03 - Character overview \ ________________________________\ There are 20 characters in total. Twelve of them drive a car, four ride a bike and the remaining four are using a hovercraft. Since all characters have a set vehicle, they will be classified here by the one they're driving. Every all-star move provides invincibility for the duration and a speed boost, even if not stated in the description. If the speed boost is mentioned, then it is more significant than the basic speed boost. =============================================================================== ______________________________ \ #04 - Cars (characters) \ ________________________________\ Cars are the most common vehicles of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. They vary in weight, which affects their performance on different terrain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Sonic the Hedgehog SPECIES | Anthropomorphic hedgehog ALL-STAR MUSIC | Sonic Heroes - Jingle: Invincible FIRST APPEARANCE | Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) - Sega Mega Drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | Blue sports convertible ALL-STAR MOVE | Sonic transforms into Super Sonic, allowing him to gain | incredible speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 6 | [][][][][][] ACCELERATION | 6 | [][][][][][] HANDLING | 8 | [][][][][][][][] DASH | 10 | [][][][][][][][][][] WEIGHT | 5 | [][][][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Amy Rose SPECIES | Anthropomorphic hedgehog ALL-STAR MUSIC | Sonic Adventure - My Sweet Passion FIRST APPEARANCE | Sonic the Hedgehog CD (1993) - Sega Mega CD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | Pink convertible ALL-STAR MOVE | Amy pulls out her Piko Piko hammer and uses it to attack | racers she passes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 7 | [][][][][][][] ACCELERATION | 7 | [][][][][][][] HANDLING | 8 | [][][][][][][][] DASH | 7 | [][][][][][][] WEIGHT | 4 | [][][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Dr. Eggman (real name: Dr. Ivo Robotnik) SPECIES | Human ALL-STAR MUSIC | Sonic Heroes - Egg Albatross FIRST APPEARANCE | Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) - Sega Mega Drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | Eggmobile mounted on large wheels ALL-STAR MOVE | Rocket launchers allows Eggman to attack all racers | in front of him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 10 | [][][][][][][][][][] ACCELERATION | 5 | [][][][][] HANDLING | 4 | [][][][] DASH | 9 | [][][][][][][][][] WEIGHT | 9 | [][][][][][][][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Aiai SPECIES | Monkey ALL-STAR MUSIC | Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - Bonus Stage FIRST APPEARANCE | Monkey Ball (2000) - Arcade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | Yellow banana-shaped car ALL-STAR MOVE | Aiai rolls forward in a plastic ball, squishing everything | in his path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 6 | [][][][][][] ACCELERATION | 6 | [][][][][][] HANDLING | 8 | [][][][][][][][] DASH | 8 | [][][][][][][][] WEIGHT | 5 | [][][][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Billy Hatcher SPECIES | Human ALL-STAR MUSIC | Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - Chant This Charm FIRST APPEARANCE | B.H. and the Giant Egg (2003) - Nintendo GameCube ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | White rooster-styled sports convertible ALL-STAR MOVE | Billy balances on a giant unstoppable rolling egg that | squishes everything in its path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 7 | [][][][][][][] ACCELERATION | 7 | [][][][][][][] HANDLING | 8 | [][][][][][][][] DASH | 7 | [][][][][][][] WEIGHT | 4 | [][][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Amigo SPECIES | Monkey ALL-STAR MUSIC | Samba de Amigo - Samba de Party FIRST APPEARANCE | Samba de Amigo (1999) - Arcade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE | Orange dune buggy ALL-STAR MOVE | Loud music slows down all other racers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEED | 5 | [][][][][] ACCELERATION | 10 | [][][][][][][][][][] HANDLING | 9 | [][][][][][][][][] DASH | 4 | [][][][] WEIGHT | 3 | [][][] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER NAME | Knuckles the Echidna SPECIES | Anthropomorphic echidna ALL-STAR MUSIC | Sonic Adventure 2 - Unknown from M.E.
