[[caption-width-right:327:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw-FCACT6hk SEEEEEEGAAA!]]]]
A series of MassiveMultiplayerCrossover games, each of a completely different genre, published by {{Sega}} and, except for the first one, developed by British company Sumo Digital. As the name implies, they feature a good deal of Sega's major and {{cult classic}} franchises.
'''''Sega Superstars''''': The first one, a 2004 MinigameGame by Sonic Team for the {{PlayStation 2}} [=EyeToy=] accessory. It's 12 simple minigames in one, using (as with every other [=EyeToy=] game) your body to control them. Descriptions of the minigames are forthcoming.
Also notable is that it isn't a crossover in the proper sense. Each series is sequestered to its own minigame, with no interaction otherwise save for the opening cutscene.
'''''Sega Superstars Tennis''''': In which Sumo Digital picked up the mantle and followed suit with. Building on their own experience with the ''Virtua Tennis'' series, the game is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also features a bunch of Sega-themed tennis minigames.
'''''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing''''' ("[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg With]] {{Banjo-Kazooie}}" on the {{Xbox 360}} version, at Microsoft's request): [[GrowingTheBeard The one game that made the series stand out]], and thus the most likely reason you are on this page. Released in February 2010, it can be easily described as "''VideoGame/MarioKart'' [[XMeetsY meets]] Sumo's ''[=OutRun=]'' games". That is, you get the item-filled WackyRacing of the former combined with the arcade racing action, handling and speed of the latter.
While ''All-Stars Racing'' might be [[FollowTheLeader completely shameless about its inspirations]], it does its elements so well (and [[YourMileageMayVary to some]], the actual racing gameplay is better than that of ''Mario Kart''; a given when one considers Sumo's resume) that, to the surprise of just about everyone, it received a very high amount of praise for that reason alone, joining the likes of ''DiddyKongRacing'' and ''[[CrashBandicoot Crash Team Racing]]'' in that regard.

The series features a large stable of series and games produced by Sega over the years (and in one case, a series bought out after the death of its original publisher, and in another, a non-Sega franchise tossed in ''All-Stars Racing'' after Microsoft was impressed with the game). Here's what represented in at least one of the three games, including those with just mere in-game cameos:
* ''AfterBurner''
* ''AlexKidd''
* ''{{Banjo-Kazooie}}'' (Xbox 360 only)
* ''BillyHatcherAndTheGiantEgg''
* ''BonanzaBros.''
* ''CrazyTaxi''
* ''ChuChuRocket!''
* ''FantasyZone''
* ''GoldenAxe''
* ''[[HouseOfTheDead House of the D]]''--- uhhh, we mean "[[NeverSayDie Curien]] [[BannedInChina Mansion]]"
* ''JetSetRadio''
* ''NightsIntoDreams''
* ''OutRun''[[hottip:Note:But not in the game you're actually expecting that one to appear in, natch.]]
* ''PuyoPuyo''
* ''{{Ristar}}'' [[hottip:* :Only as a cameo in ''All-Stars Racing''']]
* ''SambaDeAmigo''
* ''{{Shenmue}}''
* ''SonicTheHedgehog''
* ''{{Space Channel 5}}''
* ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier''
* ''SuperMonkeyBall''
* ''VirtuaCop''
* ''VirtuaFighter''
* ''VirtuaStriker''
* Technically speaking, any Xbox 360 game that has related Avatar gear.
** Not to mention, any Wii game that has Miis in it. Let alone any Mii that ressembles someone from other works of fiction or real life.
----
!!The series provides examples of:
* GoKartingWithBowser: Uhh, Eggman. And playing tennis with [[NightsIntoDreams Reala]]. And go karting with Metal Sonic and the Bonanza Bros.[[hottip:* :Their in-game bio makes it clear that they have been reverted to their Japanese backstory, in which they were {{villain protagonist}}s.]]
* NeverSayDie[=/=]GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Yes, it's possible for the same case to embody these two conflicting tropes at once, the case being all references to ''House of the Dead'' being labelled as "Curien Mansion" or abbreviated as "HOTD".
** The NeverSayDie portion comes from the fact that Sumo aimed for these games to be family-friendly. (This is now HilariousInHindsight, as the last Curien Mansion track in ''All-Stars Racing'' is called "'''Deadly''' Route".)
** The Getting Crap Past the Radar bit is because ''HOTD'' is [[BannedInChina Banned In Germany]]. They didn't feel like making a special localization just for the Germans, so...
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover
* SuperMode[=/=]LimitBreak: Super Sonic and Super Shadow in the original's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' minigame, Superstar Mode in ''Tennis'', All-Star Moves in ''Racing''.
!!''Sega Superstars'' provides examples of:
* MinigameGame
!!''Sega Superstars Tennis'' provides examples of:
* GoKartingWithBowser: Sonic can play against Eggman, NiGHTS can play against Reala, and Ulala can play against Pudding. So far, the only one that ''doesn't'' have a great deal of fun doing so is Pudding.
* TheCameo: Chao, Morolians, Nightopians and zombies all appear from Sonic, Space Channel 5, NiGHTs and House of the Dead respectively. Many Sonic characters like Knuckles and [[SonicCD Metal Sonic]] appear on the court as well. Others include [[LargeHam Professor K]] from Jet Set Radio and even the Outrun Flagman!
* TheVoiceless: Amigo somehow communicates through random music that comes out of nowhere, mostly songs from the soundtrack of his game. This account for many a funny splurge of terrible trumpet music whenever he does something wrong.
!!''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing'' provides examples of:
* AnnouncerChatter: He's quite hungry for intense racing action. He's also quite a {{jerkass}}.
** He also has a thing for Ulala.
* AscendedExtra: The chuchu pilots' only appearance prior to this game was the instructions manual to both versions of ''[=ChuChu=] Rocket!''. They're mentioned briefly on one page to add a little spice to the ExcusePlot and nowhere in the game itself.
* AscendedMeme: The loading screen blurb: [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sonic Says..."]]. See Loading Screen below.
* BrickJoke: An early mission has Robotnik finding Chaos Emeralds hidden in Seaside Hill. A late mission has Sonic take back those Chaos Emeralds from Final Fortress.
* TheCameo: Ristar can be seen on the side of the Death Egg track waving at the racers.
** Also, for those with the Wii version and PC versions, there is also some art of Sonia of SonicUnderground seen briefly during the Casino Park level.
* CasinoPark: Three tracks based on the TropeNamer!
* ComebackMechanic: As is standard in a kart racer. It's not as strong as in MarioKart, but it's made up for by All-Star Moves, at least in offline play.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Zobiko.
* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]LargeHam: The announcer.
* DemotedToExtra: [=NiGHTS=], who is reduced to flag [[PronounTrouble gir-... bo-... waver]] in this game.
* DownloadableContent: For the [=360/PS3=] versions. So far includes:
** An unlock key to let the player select Ryo Hazuki driving his forklift from the get-go.
** Metal Sonic and a Death Egg racetrack (with a {{Ristar}} cameo and music from ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' and ''ShadowTheHedgehog'').
* DummiedOut: The Final Fortress tracks reference laser gates and a cameo in Dark Arsenal that are no longer there. It's speculated that the laser gates were taken out because they messed up the game's pace, and the cameo was Metal Sonic, who was instead turned to DLC.
* EternalEngine: The Final Fortress levels.
* ForkliftFu: Ryo Hazuki's All-Star move causes him to get off his motorcycle and get in a forklift. The forklift knocks enemies behind Ryo by flipping them. There's also an achievement where you have to use it to take out Jacky and Akira.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: They forgot to censor the word "ass" out of the song "[[JetSetRadio The Concept of Love]]". The game got rated E anyway.
** Until the radar finally [[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp?title=Sonic+and+Sega&fromHome=fromHome# caught up]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: Eggman is just driving alongside.
* GuestFighter: Banjo in the Xbox 360 version [[DiddyKongRacing returns to his roots as a guest star]].
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Opa-Opa, the most expensive of the buyable racers, has no vehicle to drive in. Rather, being a sentient starship, he flies ''as himself.''
* HeyItsThatVoice: With the exception of Mike Pollock, this game marks the final vocal appearances of the 4Kids cast for the Sonic characters.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Zobio & Zobiko; made more apparent during their All-Star.
* InterfaceScrew: A few of the powerups. One of them flips your screen upside-down, while another covers the screen with a rainbow that can barely be seen through ([[JetSetRadio Beat]]'s All-Star has a similar effect, covering you with graffiti).
* JungleJapes: Treetops.
* LethalLavaLand: Lava Lair, natch.
* LoadingScreen with a MythologyGag: [[AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sonic Says..."]] At least they're not AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle here.
** CaptainObvious: Thanks to Sonic, we'll be able to figure out such ingenious strategies as hitting an item capsule to get an item. [[hottip:* :Admittedly, he does give a few helpful hints, such as using the boost from a drift to plow through obstacles, or tapping the accelerate button during a drift to better handle sharp corners.]]
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Zobio and Zobiko, a pair of in-love [[strike:zombies]] ex-humans, from the Japan-only arcade game ''[[strike:House of the Dead EX]]'' "HOTD EX" debuted in this game.
* NotUsingTheZWord: "[[HouseOfTheDead Curien Mansion]]" is a popular (and {{narm}}y) Sega series where you shoot at "Creatures". And the series representatives are "Ex-Humans".
* PalmtreePanic: All three Seaside Hill courses, as well as Monkey Target.
* RetroactiveWish: Occasionally when a racer has an All-Star move ready:
-->'''[[AnnouncerChatter Announcer]]:''' I wish there was an All Star on the track! What's that? There is!? SAH-WEET!!
* SceneryPorn: Lampshaded in the profile for one of the Casino Park maps, telling you to not get too distracted by the environment while you're racing. They're not kidding.
* ShiftingSandLand: Sandy Drifts.
* ShoutOut: {{Ristar}} in Egg Hangar.
* ShownTheirWork:
** [[Trivia/SegaSuperstars A great deal of the achievements/trophies/challenges' names]] fall under this.
** The four Chuchus have individual names in their in-game bio. Those names are brought up in nowhere else '''but''' the ''[=ChuChu Rocket!=]'' [[AllThereInTheManual instruction book]].
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The first two ''Billy Hatcher'' tracks.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In the ''Billy Hatcher'' tracks-- "[[LethalLavaLand Volcanic Orchestra]]" and "[[FinalBoss Billy's Cou]][[NightmareFuel rage]]" can be played in [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Icicle Valley or Rampart Road]], while the other three songs ("Tumbling Xylophone", "Bossa Nova of Briny Air", and "A Jack-in-the-Box!") can be played in [[LethalLavaLand Lava Lair]].

A series of MassiveMultiplayerCrossover games, each of a completely different genre, published by {{Sega}} and, except for the first one, developed by British company Sumo Digital. As the name implies, they feature a good deal of Sega's major and {{cult classic}} franchises.
'''''Sega Superstars''''': The first one, a 2004 MinigameGame by Sonic Team for the {{PlayStation 2}} [=EyeToy=] accessory. It's 12 simple minigames in one, using (as with every other [=EyeToy=] game) your body to control them. Descriptions of the minigames are forthcoming.
Also notable is that it isn't a crossover in the proper sense. Each series is sequestered to its own minigame, with no interaction otherwise save for the opening cutscene.
'''''Sega Superstars Tennis''''': In which Sumo Digital picked up the mantle and followed suit with. Building on their own experience with the ''Virtua Tennis'' series, the game is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Also features a bunch of Sega-themed tennis minigames.
'''''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing''''' ("[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg With]] {{Banjo-Kazooie}}" on the {{Xbox 360}} version, at Microsoft's request): [[GrowingTheBeard The one game that made the series stand out]], and thus the most likely reason you are on this page. Released in February 2010, it can be easily described as "''VideoGame/MarioKart'' [[XMeetsY meets]] Sumo's ''[=OutRun=]'' games". That is, you get the item-filled WackyRacing of the former combined with the arcade racing action, handling and speed of the latter.
While ''All-Stars Racing'' might be [[FollowTheLeader completely shameless about its inspirations]], it does its elements so well (and [[YourMileageMayVary to some]], the actual racing gameplay is better than that of ''Mario Kart''; a given when one considers Sumo's resume) that, to the surprise of just about everyone, it received a very high amount of praise for that reason alone, joining the likes of ''DiddyKongRacing'' and ''[[CrashBandicoot Crash Team Racing]]'' in that regard.
See also ''FightersMegamix'', an earlier, unrelated Sega crossover game.

The series features a large stable of series and games produced by Sega over the years (and in one case, a series bought out after the death of its original publisher, and in another, a non-Sega franchise tossed in ''All-Stars Racing'' after Microsoft was impressed with the game). Here's what represented in at least one of the three games, including those with just mere in-game cameos:
* ''AfterBurner''
* ''AlexKidd''
* ''{{Banjo-Kazooie}}'' (Xbox 360 only)
* ''BillyHatcherAndTheGiantEgg''
* ''BonanzaBros.''
* ''CrazyTaxi''
* ''ChuChuRocket!''
* ''FantasyZone''
* ''GoldenAxe''
* ''[[HouseOfTheDead House of the D]]''--- uhhh, we mean "[[NeverSayDie Curien]] [[BannedInChina Mansion]]"
* ''JetSetRadio''
* ''NightsIntoDreams''
* ''OutRun''[[hottip:Note:But not in the game you're actually expecting that one to appear in, natch.]]
* ''PuyoPuyo''
* ''{{Ristar}}'' [[hottip:* :Only as a cameo in ''All-Stars Racing''']]
* ''SambaDeAmigo''
* ''{{Shenmue}}''
* ''SonicTheHedgehog''
* ''{{Space Channel 5}}''
* ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier''
* ''SuperMonkeyBall''
* ''VirtuaCop''
* ''VirtuaFighter''
* ''VirtuaStriker''
* Technically speaking, any Xbox 360 game that has related Avatar gear.
** Not to mention, any Wii game that has Miis in it. Let alone any Mii that ressembles someone from other works of fiction or real life.
----
!!The series provides examples of:
* GoKartingWithBowser: Uhh, Eggman. And playing tennis with [[NightsIntoDreams Reala]]. And go karting with Metal Sonic and the Bonanza Bros.[[hottip:* :Their in-game bio makes it clear that they have been reverted to their Japanese backstory, in which they were {{villain protagonist}}s.]]
* NeverSayDie[=/=]GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Yes, it's possible for the same case to embody these two conflicting tropes at once, the case being all references to ''House of the Dead'' being labelled as "Curien Mansion" or abbreviated as "HOTD".
** The NeverSayDie portion comes from the fact that Sumo aimed for these games to be family-friendly. (This is now HilariousInHindsight, as the last Curien Mansion track in ''All-Stars Racing'' is called "'''Deadly''' Route".)
** The Getting Crap Past the Radar bit is because ''HOTD'' is [[BannedInChina Banned In Germany]]. They didn't feel like making a special localization just for the Germans, so...
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover
* SuperMode[=/=]LimitBreak: Super Sonic and Super Shadow in the original's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' minigame, Superstar Mode in ''Tennis'', All-Star Moves in ''Racing''.
!!''Sega Superstars'' provides examples of:
* MinigameGame
!!''Sega Superstars Tennis'' provides examples of:
* GoKartingWithBowser: Sonic can play against Eggman, NiGHTS can play against Reala, and Ulala can play against Pudding. So far, the only one that ''doesn't'' have a great deal of fun doing so is Pudding.
* TheCameo: Chao, Morolians, Nightopians and zombies all appear from Sonic, Space Channel 5, NiGHTs and House of the Dead respectively. Many Sonic characters like Knuckles and [[SonicCD Metal Sonic]] appear on the court as well. Others include [[LargeHam Professor K]] from Jet Set Radio and even the Outrun Flagman!
* TheVoiceless: Amigo somehow communicates through random music that comes out of nowhere, mostly songs from the soundtrack of his game. This account for many a funny splurge of terrible trumpet music whenever he does something wrong.
!!''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing'' provides examples of:
* AnnouncerChatter: He's quite hungry for intense racing action. He's also quite a {{jerkass}}.
** He also has a thing for Ulala.
* AscendedExtra: The chuchu pilots' only appearance prior to this game was the instructions manual to both versions of ''[=ChuChu=] Rocket!''. They're mentioned briefly on one page to add a little spice to the ExcusePlot and nowhere in the game itself.
* AscendedMeme: The loading screen blurb: [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sonic Says..."]]. See Loading Screen below.
* BrickJoke: An early mission has Robotnik finding Chaos Emeralds hidden in Seaside Hill. A late mission has Sonic take back those Chaos Emeralds from Final Fortress.
* TheCameo: Ristar can be seen on the side of the Death Egg track waving at the racers.
** Also, for those with the Wii version and PC versions, there is also some art of Sonia of SonicUnderground seen briefly during the Casino Park level.
* CasinoPark: Three tracks based on the TropeNamer!
* ComebackMechanic: As is standard in a kart racer. It's not as strong as in MarioKart, but it's made up for by All-Star Moves, at least in offline play.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Zobiko.
* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]LargeHam: The announcer.
* DemotedToExtra: [=NiGHTS=], who is reduced to flag [[PronounTrouble gir-... bo-... waver]] in this game.
* DownloadableContent: For the [=360/PS3=] versions. So far includes:
** An unlock key to let the player select Ryo Hazuki driving his forklift from the get-go.
** Metal Sonic and a Death Egg racetrack (with a {{Ristar}} cameo and music from ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' and ''ShadowTheHedgehog'').
* DummiedOut: The Final Fortress tracks reference laser gates and a cameo in Dark Arsenal that are no longer there. It's speculated that the laser gates were taken out because they messed up the game's pace, and the cameo was Metal Sonic, who was instead turned to DLC.
* EternalEngine: The Final Fortress levels.
* ForkliftFu: Ryo Hazuki's All-Star move causes him to get off his motorcycle and get in a forklift. The forklift knocks enemies behind Ryo by flipping them. There's also an achievement where you have to use it to take out Jacky and Akira.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: They forgot to censor the word "ass" out of the song "[[JetSetRadio The Concept of Love]]". The game got rated E anyway.
** Until the radar finally [[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp?title=Sonic+and+Sega&fromHome=fromHome# caught up]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: Eggman is just driving alongside.
* GuestFighter: Banjo in the Xbox 360 version [[DiddyKongRacing returns to his roots as a guest star]].
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Opa-Opa, the most expensive of the buyable racers, has no vehicle to drive in. Rather, being a sentient starship, he flies ''as himself.''
* HeyItsThatVoice: With the exception of Mike Pollock, this game marks the final vocal appearances of the 4Kids cast for the Sonic characters.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Zobio & Zobiko; made more apparent during their All-Star.
* InterfaceScrew: A few of the powerups. One of them flips your screen upside-down, while another covers the screen with a rainbow that can barely be seen through ([[JetSetRadio Beat]]'s All-Star has a similar effect, covering you with graffiti).
* JungleJapes: Treetops.
* LethalLavaLand: Lava Lair, natch.
* LoadingScreen with a MythologyGag: [[AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sonic Says..."]] At least they're not AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle here.
** CaptainObvious: Thanks to Sonic, we'll be able to figure out such ingenious strategies as hitting an item capsule to get an item. [[hottip:* :Admittedly, he does give a few helpful hints, such as using the boost from a drift to plow through obstacles, or tapping the accelerate button during a drift to better handle sharp corners.]]
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Zobio and Zobiko, a pair of in-love [[strike:zombies]] ex-humans, from the Japan-only arcade game ''[[strike:House of the Dead EX]]'' "HOTD EX" debuted in this game.
* NotUsingTheZWord: "[[HouseOfTheDead Curien Mansion]]" is a popular (and {{narm}}y) Sega series where you shoot at "Creatures". And the series representatives are "Ex-Humans".
* PalmtreePanic: All three Seaside Hill courses, as well as Monkey Target.
* RetroactiveWish: Occasionally when a racer has an All-Star move ready:
-->'''[[AnnouncerChatter Announcer]]:''' I wish there was an All Star on the track! What's that? There is!? SAH-WEET!!
* SceneryPorn: Lampshaded in the profile for one of the Casino Park maps, telling you to not get too distracted by the environment while you're racing. They're not kidding.
* ShiftingSandLand: Sandy Drifts.
* ShoutOut: {{Ristar}} in Egg Hangar.
* ShownTheirWork:
** [[Trivia/SegaSuperstars A great deal of the achievements/trophies/challenges' names]] fall under this.
** The four Chuchus have individual names in their in-game bio. Those names are brought up in nowhere else '''but''' the ''[=ChuChu Rocket!=]'' [[AllThereInTheManual instruction book]].
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The first two ''Billy Hatcher'' tracks.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In the ''Billy Hatcher'' tracks-- "[[LethalLavaLand Volcanic Orchestra]]" and "[[FinalBoss Billy's Cou]][[NightmareFuel rage]]" can be played in [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Icicle Valley or Rampart Road]], while the other three songs ("Tumbling Xylophone", "Bossa Nova of Briny Air", and "A Jack-in-the-Box!") can be played in [[LethalLavaLand Lava Lair]].
* SpotlightStealingTitle
* TheVoiceless: The Bonanza Bros., the [=ChuChus=], Amigo, Opa-Opa, and Metal Sonic (for those who managed to get him early) only make sighs, chirps, [[BeyondTheImpossible maraca shaking]], retro-sounding beeps, and robotic noises respectively.
** If you want to get technical, Akira and Zobiko actually don't have ''any'' voice clips for their characters at all; Jacky and Zobio do all the talking when you're playing as them.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: One or two of the ''Samba de Amigo'' racetracks, but especially Sunshine Tour.
* WhosLaughingNow: Metal Sonic's All Star move gives him the same laser wall that he was scrapped by in Sonic CD AND speed boosts whenever he desires.
* WolverinePublicity: No doubt [[JustifiedTrope justifiable]], but yes, Sonic's name is separate and unique from the "Sega" banner in this game.
