Someone put their son's Sonic OCs in the game?
Is SonicChu playable?

• A wealth of secrets to find

SonicChu?

Not gonna lie, never been a Sonic fan, but the fact the game has "ludicrously" list of courses and characters, makes it sound interesting.
I'm imagining every Sonic lore related character being playable.

Also, this trailer is really good, like those commercials from SNES & Genesis era.

I watched the trailer, and it looks really impressive for a fan game! I haven't looked into it, but I hear SRB2Kart has a huge community of modders and contributors.

Between Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path and Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, it seems like Sega fans really know how to show their dedication

Looks insane! Great to see Robotnik standing caringly over his son Tails in the logo

I wouldn't say no to a Wii U port

jesus you need help lol

i remember playing really old versions of srb2 kart, this new one looks fun

 

[LightBeam]

Looks fun, I liked RB2 and RB2 Kart but I can't drag my friends into playing stuff like that lol
Still going to try this out tho, a Switch port would be neat

I love this game already! Tutorial's kinda lengthy though...

 

[Exnor]

Looks very good.
Kudos to the devs.

What's the difference in this and SRBK?

 

[PotatoStatic]

Damn. I need this on my Deck to scratch that Mario Kart itch. I also find it amusing this was made in the Doom Legacy engine.

Doom Legacy?

Ain't that a old long-abandoned Doom source port from the 2000s that in fact was really an adaption of the Quake engine to run Doom?

Sure, maybe they want true 3D, but why not just base the mod on the vanilla Quake engine in that case?

Nah, the updates seem relatively consistent. The last update to the engine was December 2023. It seems to get one to two updates a year.

There's absolutely no excuse for me to not include it. Of course I want a Wii U port as well.
