Sega recreates video from the the 16-bit console wars of the ’90s to promote Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
Characters from Yakuza, Virtua Fighter, and Sonic the Hedgehog want to give you a boost on test day or in your job interview.
Sega video game star to embark on a multiverse “journey of self-discovery and redemption.”

Sonic’s butt, Jim Carrey’s Snidley Whiplash mustache, and “Gangsta’s Paradise” in a preview that we’re not sure if we’re supposed to take seriously.

Sega mascot plans to stay at Tokyo branches of the boob-centric restaurant for almost two months.

The Nintendo star is seen getting around like his old rival in Super Mario Odyssey.
One other Sega franchise will join Sonic on the special train, which will be in service in Tokyo for one month.
