Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds may not have Mario Kart World's Metacritic score, but it does come on multiple platforms, with cross-play for maximum karting carnage. Sonic and his many rivals from across Sega canon are available to race on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and Switch 2 with players able to challenge each other across all of them.
