What are Wisps

wisps are a diminutive, yet powerful alien species from Planet Wisp that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. In Team Sonic Racing they are items that can either be used while racing to give you an edge or to sabotage your opponents progress. There are different kinds of Wisps and knowing what each does and whether you should use it yourself or offer it to a teammate is essential to maximising their effect. Our What are Wisps page will give you a better understanding of each of the Wisps.
