The roster for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing seems to have around 2,000 racers at this point. If your favorite SEGA character hasn’t been announced yet, fear not. SEGA’s European blog has confirmed even more playable characters.  Virtua Fighter’s Jacky and Akira are set to race in a red Ferrari. Of course the red Ferrari was my ride of choice in SEGA’s arcade racer OutRun, an inclusion that’s too perfect to not be intentional.

Additionally, old school characters Mobo and Robo will be joining the game. The two are known from the Sega Genesis title Bonanza Bros. Additionally, SEGA announced that while not included as a playable character, NiGHTS is getting represented.

We’ve given NiGHTS a very important role. He starts all the races, and also finishes them too! He also resides over Time Trial, whenever you set a new lap record, you’ll have NiGHTS flying along with you celebrating!

You’ve really got to hand it to SEGA for going all out on this racer. February 23rd can’t come soon enough.
