Big the Cat’s hanging up his fishing rod in favour of four wheels, as three new characters join the roster of Team Sonic Racing. The frog-obsessed feline will be joined by the forever friend-zoned Amy Rose and four different Chao characters – all driving in the, ahem, same car. The newcomers were revealed as part of a Sonic the Hedgehog anniversary event in Tokyo this weekend.
As you’d expect, Big the Cat favours more powerful racing, while Amy Rose is a speed demon. Meanwhile, the Chao – who are certainly the most unusual additions to the title thus far – focus on technique to topple their opponents. The arcade racer’s due out later this year on the PlayStation 4.

I hated using Big on Sonic Adventure. My least favorite Sonic character.
Everyone's favorites....right?
His name's Big because he's big.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If they’re going for the sonic heroes aproach with the same teams, where’s cream the rabbit?
Who?
I like Amy and the four Chaos as one is pretty neat.
Big is... meh.
I'd rather play the frog.
I'm actually really excited for this game! The team mechanic seems super cool!
"We made one of the best arcade racing games which pays homage to our rich history and everything that made us a successful company!"
Great, now strip it down to shove our overrated "mascot" into the limelight again...great one Sega! 🙄
Chao's why not Cream she would make more sense?
I never got the hate for Big. Yeah his fishing gameplay in SA1 was janky and out of place but as an actual character he's inoffensive - the dude just wants to chill out with his Frog buddy and he's (formerly) voiced by Duke Nukem, what's not to love? People seem to like him more now though, even if it's an ironic meme.
@FullbringIchigo Yeah, the Chao would make more sense in a team with Tikal and Chaos, not sure why Cream is being given the shaft here.
theres so many sonic characters they can use,i'd like to see chaotix,ray and mighty,silver,metal,chaos,and various badniks...i just hope it can get near mario karts goodness..(we know it wont surpass it!!)
Urgh.
Don't know why Cream has been snubbed by Sega, she's one of Sonic's least annoying friends.
@unionjack3rd There are still teams to be announced.
Sonic & All Stars Transformed is easily a better game than MK8.
Go Big or go home!
I may enjoy this down the line when it's dirt cheap, but just dont have the time for racing games anymore.
