Super Sonic Racing or Sonic R2 in Japan is an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game in the Sonic (series), that will be released in all major regions around March 2013. Super Sonic Racing is a 3D racing game, in which players will not ride on hoverboards like in Sonic Riders, but they will race on foot, similar to Sonic R with the footracing concept, but without characters being able to use vehicles and also similar to Sonic Rivals in which players race eachother but in more of 3D aspect, the main concept of the game is a sequel to Sonic R, but with better and new gameplay elements. Super Sonic Racing also uses a Gyroscope feature similar to that of what on Mario Kart 7, and this allows the game to show the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS, but also allow players to really feel like they're in the game.

Gameplay[]

Super Sonic Racing is a 3D racing game in which characters from the Sonic (series) participate in races from many courses from the games. The gameplay is somewhat very similar to Sonic R although all characters have to race on foot, and also it is very similar to Sonic Rivals but in 3D. Now on course at once, there will be 8 Racers. Every character will take there place at the starting line and wait for the host, Omochao, to say "Get ready!" and then the player can charge up by pressing the B button, and wait until Omochao then says "Go!" and all players must press the A button to start, the race will now begin and players will control their character through the chosen or set amount of laps, also characters will be able to take Type Shortcuts, depending on the type of shortcut, if it was a Speed type shortcut, Speed players would be able to use, if it was a Fly type shortcut, only Fly type character could use it and if it was a Power type shortcut only the Power characters could go through it. The players will race until they get to the finish and 1st place will be the winner. Players can also use their Special Ability on course such as Sonic's Spin Dash, or Tails' Tail Spin and so on, this Ability is unique to the player and only they can use it, except Metal Sonic can copy your character's ability as his ability. On every course there are coins, if a player picks up 20 coins, they can use a Special Move, a special move is similar to a Special Ability but it is much more powerful and very helpful. When the race has finished an Award Ceremony, will take place where 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are rewarded Racing Points for coming in that position, 50 points for 1st, 25 points for 2nd and 10 points for 3rd. These points can be used to buy lots of things at the shop, like new characters and courses. A new thing is Rival Race depending on your character they all have different rivals, after a race sometimes a cutscene will appear where they meet and talk then challenge eachother to a race, this is similar to the cutscenes in story mode, but these don't appear in story mode.
