Sega is diving deep into crossover territory with its newest reveal for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, officially confirming a SpongeBob SquarePants crossover set to make waves when the game launches this September. The anticipated kart racer is bringing Bikini Bottom to the speedway, complete with beloved characters, themed vehicles, and an aquatic race track straight from the world of SpongeBob.
🌊 Welcome to Bikini Bottom… at Full Speed
The brand-new trailer, revealed during Summer Game Fest and later confirmed by VGC, showcases SpongeBob and Patrick Star as playable racers. The duo joins the roster with their own “Krabby Patty”-themed vehicle and a colorful Bikini Bottom racetrack that features familiar landmarks like SpongeBob’s pineapple house, the Krusty Krab, and the Jellyfish Fields.
The underwater track offers a glimpse at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds’ new Boat Mode, allowing players to navigate watery terrain with unique physics and handling mechanics.
🧽 More Nickelodeon on the Way
In addition to SpongeBob and Patrick, the trailer teased future Nickelodeon-themed content, including hints at potential crossovers with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Avatar: The Last Airbender. This further positions CrossWorlds as a major hub for crossover content, not just within Sega franchises but across popular entertainment IPs.
This crossover follows earlier announcements featuring characters like Hatsune Miku, Ichiban Kasuga (Like a Dragon), and Minecraft’s Steve and Alex, signaling Sega’s full embrace of multi-universe madness in their answer to Mario Kart World.
🚀 A Fresh Take on Sonic Racing
CrossWorlds isn’t just riding on cameos. Sega is introducing a variety of gameplay innovations, including:
-
Flight Mode, where players race across aerial tracks
-
Boat Mode, perfect for SpongeBob’s underwater chaos
-
Multiple crossover-inspired courses
-
Deep customization and unlockable content
These updates aim to modernize the Sonic Racing experience while keeping the blue blur’s legacy intact.
With the SpongeBob SquarePants crossover, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds cements itself as one of the most ambitious racing titles in Sega’s lineup. Fans can dive in when the game launches later this year.
