What is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed?

This game is a racing adventure where you can control many popular characters from Sega's history. Unlike regular racing games, your vehicle can change! It transforms between a car, a boat, and an airplane. This happens right in the middle of a race, depending on the part of the track you are on.

How Does the Game Work?

The main idea is to race against other characters on tracks that change as you play. When you drive onto water, your car turns into a boat. When you hit a jump or a special ramp, it might become an airplane. This makes every race feel fresh and exciting. You need to master driving, sailing, and flying to win!
