Much like in other kart racing games, characters race through multiple tracks and collect special items to finish the final lap in first place. Executing successful drifts or performing tricks midair also earns the racer boosts. Each character has an All-Star Move unique to them, such as Banjo and Kazooie's [[Jiggy Rain]] move where they use [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to attack their opponents with falling [[Jiggy|Jiggies]].


Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a racing game currently in production for Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Microsoft Windows, featuring characters from many Sega franchises, as well as guest characters. It is being published by Sega and developed by U.K.-based Sumo Digital. It was announced on May 28, 2009 and was originally due to come out on February 10, 2010[3], but has recently been pushed back to sometime in March, 2010.[4]
Vehicles in ''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie'' are found in four categories: racing, off-road, bike and hovercraft. They perform differently depending on the terrain they are in, and work better in specific courses. For example, Banjo and Kazooie's car, the [[Bolt Bucket]], is a racing-type vehicle and drives best on solid terrain like wood or concrete but drives poorly on soft surfaces like snow and mud.


The game is a mascot kart racing game, very similar to other games in its genre like Mario Kart, Konami Krazy Racers and Crash Team Racing. Characters race through various race circuits themed on different Sega franchises and collect power-ups to boost their speed or hamper their opponents. Additional boost can be earned by successfully executing drift turns, or performing tricks whilst in midair. Like Sumo's previous Sega game, Sega Superstars Tennis, each character has a special ability (called an "All-Star Move") unique to them that they may use to their advantage (such as Sonic transforming into Super Sonic and AiAi riding in marbles), which they can obtain if they are running behind in the race.

Vehicles are separated into four different categories: racing, off-road, bike and hovercraft. As the terrain on the tracks will vary, vehicles can be either assisted or hindered by the surfaces they drive upon. For example, racing-type vehicles perform best on hard surfaces such as wood or concrete, but are hampered by soft terrain such as mud, sand or snow. The opposite is true for off-road type vehicles. Hovercraft are not affected by any terrain and are able to perform multiple boosts after a jump, but they are unable to drift and have low acceleration. All of the vehicles also have their own specific engine sounds.

{{Banjo-Kazooie series}}
 
As TSSZ News yesterday reported, Sega themselves did upload to their official website the definitive box arts for this third party title, coming in early 2010. The surprise came from the Xbox 360 box art, which was the only one featuring a console specific character: on it, Banjo and Kazooie are chasing Sonic in a big red car which doesn’t look very similar to their Nuts & Bolts contraptions.
