![]() While Sonic may be the star, fans might want to cheer on the other teams. ![]() It’s a refreshing change of pace for a racing cartoon, when we’re used to characters only being out for themselves, and the sentiment adds some heart to the race. It’s the power of friendship that’ll help teams win. The race itself is at a constant momentum, but don’t expect it to be a straight forward race, because the main selling point is teamwork, so camaraderie drives this race’s dynamic. By the looks of it, flash animation was the tool used, but it’s stylistically shaded flash the kind of hip aesthetic needed for a Sonic cartoon. ![]() It’s impressive how vivid it all is, especially when the budget is clearly quite low for a video game promo. There’s no dialogue at all, so the animators have to rely entirely on visuals for the storytelling, with characters giving clear gestures or expressions to communicate team play or taunt a racetrack rival. I wouldn’t say that you need to be a Sonic fan to have fun watching it but I’m certain it’ll help you get more into it. Despite my lack of attachment to the Sonic franchise, I totally followed these cartoons pretty fine, getting the gist of each characters’ personality or a racing gadget’s purpose very easily. I’ve only a played a few Sonic games in my lifetime to be honest. Now, I’ve not played “Team Sonic Racing”. ![]() It has a simple plot that follows a race between Team Sonic, Team Rose, and Team Dark. Say what you will about the quality of the Sonic the Hedgehog games that Sega releases, but there is no denying that the animation that the developer has been putting out lately is top quality most definitely deserving of the recognition it has been getting from fans.“Team Sonic Racing: Overdrive” is a two part cartoon web series designed to promote the new video game Team Sonic Racing. This isn't the first time that Sega has done something like this, since when they were promoting the Sonic Mania Plus video game they also released a miniseries - very appropriately called Sonic Mania Adventures - in order to keep fans excited for the release of the new title. Team Sonic Racing Overdrive is part of the marketing campaign prior to the release of Team Sonic Racing, Sega's latest entry in their video game driving series that features characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Sega has released a new video that compares the animations during early development stages of the Team Sonic Racing Overdrive miniseries with the final product giving fans an idea of what the animatics look like before they are properly animated. ![]()
