Sonic and Mario’s rivalry may have cooled down since they started competing in the Olympics together, but Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds may be the closest to a Mario Kart beater we’ve seen in a while.
The game has found success with a “kitchen sink” approach, with tons of characters, worlds, and upgrades coming from across SEGA’s IP and beyond, and now you can save large on it Black Friday.
The Black Friday sale at Target lowered the price PS5 AND Nintendo Switch version down to $44.99 – $25 off a game that didn’t release until behind schedule September.
This time, the biggest attraction is not only that the vehicles in the game change between different modes, but also that during the same race, competitors will travel through dimensions to different tracks. This keeps everyone in suspense, and the go-kart must be the first to choose one of two options.
