Team Sonic Racing has 15 playable characters at launch. This is less than Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which featured over 20 characters, including non-Sonic Sega characters. While some fans may miss the non-Sonic characters in Team Sonic Racing, it still features most of the biggest characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise itself.
Here is a list of all the Team Sonic Racing characters:
Amy Big the Cat Blaze Chao E-123 Omega Eggman Knuckles Metal Sonic Rouge Shadow Silver Sonic Tails Vector Zavok
The gimmick of Team Sonic Racing is that players have to work cooperatively with their teammates to win races. This means that characters are categorized into three different classes, with each class represented on each team. Character types include Speed (fastest characters), Technique (immune to hazards for limited time), and Power (can break through obstacles and use more powerful Wisps).
With that in mind, here are the characters categorized by team and type.
Team Sonic
Sonic (Speed) Tails (Technique) Knuckles (Power)
Team Dark
Shadow (Speed) Rouge (Technique) E-123 Omega (Power)
Team Amy
Amy (Speed) Chao (Technique) Big the Cat (Power)
Team Vector
Blaze (Speed) Silver (Technique) Vector (Power)
Team Eggman
Metal Sonic (Speed) Eggman (Technique) Zavok (Power)
As illustrated by the lineup of playable characters in Team Sonic Racing, many major characters from the franchise are represented. However, there are also some missing characters that fans may be sad to see aren’t in the lineup of playable racers. However, it’s possible Sega may release DLC for Team Sonic Racing one day to fill out the roster, but for now, players will just have to master the 15 characters already available to them.
Team Sonic Racing is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
