The blue hedgehog has seen them in all colors. One of the most important icons in the video game industry, he has tried a wide variety of genres and styles throughout his long history.

However, unless you’re a really staunch Sonic fan, chances are you’ve never heard of Sonic Kart 3DX. Indeed, it is a title in which the Sega mascot gets on the controls of a vehicle and pilot around numerous tracks.

The most striking thing about this game, and its general ignorance, is that it was released for Sega Sonic Cafe in 2005. It is an exclusive service for Japan, which lasted between 2001 and 2007 when they closed their servers and mainly offered a monthly subscription on mobile devices.

In this way, access to a large catalog of titles from the Japanese company was granted to download and play. Obviously, taking into account all its peculiarities, the vast majority of the world’s population he does not know him and much less has he been able to see him. Up to now.

A Japanese YouTube channel shared in December 2020 until 18 minutes of Sonic Kart 3DX footage, but it has not been until now when it has come to light. The truth is that it is curious to see how Sonic rides in a kart that will surely go slower than him, but there he goes. In addition, it is a secuela de Sonic Racing Kart, launched on the same service a couple of years earlier.

The truth is that the game looks really good considering the system for which it was designed. Among its modes is the possibility of compete against other users in races, as well as beat the best times of each circuit. We don’t know if this user keeps a ROM and will distribute it so that we can all take Sonic for a spin, but we hope so.
