For decades, Mario has held the kart racing crown. However, after a week with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, I'm convinced the blue blur has finally lapped the plumber. Sega hasn’t just delivered an adequate a rival — it’s built a racer that feels faster, fresher, and frankly, streets ahead of Nintendo's newest racing game, Mario Kart World.
Trust me, this is the last thing anyone who knows me would expect me to admit. Back in the '90s, I was that kid passionately defending Mario against my misguided classmates who dared to side with Sonic. Of course, this was long before Sega dropped out of the console race entirely.
