Players select from 23 characters drawn from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, each with distinct statistics that affect speed, handling, and durability.
Vehicles can be chosen from a pool of 45 cars and hoverboards, further modified with up to 70 gadget attachments that provide stat bonuses or special abilities.
Races feature 12 participants across 24 tracks, with hazards, shortcuts, and collectible power-ups influencing the outcome.
A defining feature is the CrossWorlds mechanic.
During the second lap of a race, the leading player can activate a Travel Ring that transports the entire group to one of 15 alternate courses.
This can either be a predetermined track or a random selection, introducing an element of unpredictability into each event.
The final race of a grand prix uses this mechanic to cycle through multiple previously played tracks across its three laps.
Modes include Grand Prix tournaments, single races, Time Trials with global ghost data, and Race Park, a set of alternate multiplayer modes with team-based rules.
Both online play (supporting up to 12 racers) and four-player split-screen are included.
The game also features a rival system in single-player, assigning one competitor as a direct adversary for additional rewards.
Progression revolves around unlocking gadgets, vehicles, and cosmetic options using in-game currency earned through racing.
Difficulty tiers are defined by race speeds, with higher settings such as "Super Sonic Speed" demanding mastery of drifting, trick-based boosts, and optimal racing lines.
Presentation emphasizes bright and exaggerated visuals, with character banter at the start of races and a mix of classic and modern Sonic soundtrack selections.

About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Sonic Racing: Crossworlds for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sonic Racing: Crossworlds to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2025.
