With the announcement of Avatars as exclusive in-game characters for Microsoft’s version of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, there was little doubt that Nintendo’s Miis wouldn’t be invited to the party.  Today, SEGA has announced that Miis will be ready to race when the game launches. Don’t think that the Mii is just a shallow character, as a unique All-Star move will be available when you select to use your Mii characters (shown above). That All-Star move looks identical to the move shown in images for Xbox Avatars.

According to GoNintendo, SEGA also announced via their Facebook page a car creation mode that will allow players to customize their own rides.

Did you know that you can build your own custom vehicle in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing? What kind of vehicle are you going to build?

This game is looking better and better by the day.

UPDATE: SEGA has confirmed that there is no customization for vehicles.  That post was since deleted.
