Editing Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (section)

===Development===
*The game used to be called "'''''SEGA Superstars Racer'''''".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Products|url=http://www.samneale.co.uk/SamNeale_Products.html|work=Sam Neale Products}}</ref>
*Ever since the game was announced, fans were complaining and constantly asking, "Why is Sonic in a car?" Executive producer, Steve Lycett, answered the question, and said that they originally tried making the game with Sonic and friends racing on foot instead. Size and proportion issues occurred however, and drifting was deemed impossible for characters outside of vehicles. After several attempts at tweaking the engine, it was decided that all characters should have a vehicle for easier play.<ref name="ASR diary 1"/>
**There was a joke about this in the Off Panel comic of [[Archie Sonic Universe Issue 45|''Sonic Universe'' #45]], where Sonic, on foot, wins the race in a millisecond.
**This would also be referenced in [[Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]] Wreck-It Ralph Trailer where Ralph asks why Sonic is in a car in the trailer.
*This is the final ''Sonic''-related game to ever feature voice actors from [[4Kids Entertainment]]. From then on, they were all replaced with voice actors from [[Studiopolis]] and [[Funimation]], excluding [[Mike Pollock]].
**As such, this is the final game to feature [[Jason Griffith]] as Sonic and Shadow, [[Amy Palant]] as Tails, [[Lisa Ortiz]] as Amy Rose, and [[Dan Green]] as Knuckles. Oliver Wyman would later reprise his role as Big the Cat in the Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack for ''LEGO Dimensions''.
*An interview with Omar Woodley states that the game was previously going to have 50 characters, but for some reason the idea was scrapped.
*Sonic and Billy Hatcher make the same exact pose, only mirrored, in their character artwork. Also, Jacky & Akira's artwork is taken directly from ''Virtua Fighter 5''.
*The artwork for Chuih, ChuPea, ChuBei, & ChuBach in this game is very similar to their artwork for ''ChuChu Rocket!''. The only differences being that Chuih & ChuBei's tails are not seen (most likely due to the fact that they are looking straight ahead) and ChuPea & ChuBach are slightly turned to the side (ChuPea faces left, ChuBach faces right).
*Japanese Sega Saturn mascot [[Segata Sanshiro]] was originally considered to be a playable character in this game.
*An arcade edition of ''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing'', ported by Sega Amusements, exists in random arcades. It was seen at a Skokie, Illinois Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant. It was believed to be there temporarily as part of a location test, but is now available through the Sega Amusements website. One was also located in the UK in Bournemouth, inside the former SegaWorld location there. it has since been removed.
*In the iOS version, Knuckles, Shadow and Ulala were not characters until an update.
**The same thing happened to Sun Fair.
**Another update had Ocean Ruin, Bingo Party, and Monkey Target to be playable stages.
