May is certainly turning out to be a month of firsts for the #SuperOldGameSaturday program, from the first RPG we're playing, the first music rhythm game we're playing in the next video and this 5th entry in the #SuperSonicGameSaturday initiative that marks the first racing game for the channel. On the request of ElecVerse, we played Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the second and best entry in Sega and Sumo Digital's kart racing trilogy starring Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, of course, but also tons of characters from basically every Sega franchise big and small (and also, Danica Patrick and Wreck-It-Ralph, for reasons to be explained). This was something of a Sega love-in on the part of myself and the chat, as we pointed out every reference that's in this, discussed the games and series of origin on everything and, thanks to the chat, noticed the strangeness of some of the things, like how the Shinobi references in this have playable character Joe Musashi dressed as his father, Jiro Musashi, from Shinobi 3DS with All-Star move music of Hotsuma's from Shinobi PS2. As such, we all added to the discussion and learned more from each other, which is what I feel the appeal of this program is, along with all of the surprises that came about during the time we played (of which there was a big one here about halfway through), looking at each and every course, character and mode, including the Xbox 360 version's DLC and online play (though if you have a choice, the PC version has more characters available and runs at 60 FPS, so that would be the one I'd suggest if you haven't played this fun game). That being said, I must apologize for the lesser sound quality, which I explain at the beginning of the video and with an appendment to it at the end to cover something I forgot to show off during the stream. Still, this was a great time for me and, presumably, the chat, so hope you enjoy all the Sega goodness in this first racing game for the channel and the May entry into #SuperSonicGameSaturday (and if you like what you see here, stop by https://www.twitch.tv/captainditrag each Saturday at 7 PM EST to see these streams live and join/help drive the conversations on what we play each week and the Sonic games we'll cover for each month this year)!
