* TheOtherDarrin: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose & Shadow all have new voice actors following the majority of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' characters being recast since the first ''All-Stars Racing'' was released.

* Of all the series featured in the game, ''SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''{{Space Channel 5}}'' are the only two to have crossed over with non-Sega [=IP=]s. Beside both sharing ''{{Banjo-Kazooie}}'' on the Xbox 360 version of the game, Sonic has ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' and ''SuperSmashBros. Brawl'' whereas there was an unlockable Ulala {{cosplay}} in the {{Vocaloid}} LicensedGame ''Project Diva''.[[hottip:*:Somewhat odd to note that ''DonkeyKongCountry'' and ''Banjo'' would be [[DiddyKongRacing reconnected]] through the hedgehog and that Miku Hatsune now has some stretched out connection to those two animals and [[MetalGearSolid Snake!]]), but yeah.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** ToeJamAndEarl could have been in the game if Sega got proper licensing with the series' developers in time. They couldn't. They aren't in the sequel either.
** [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] [[http://seganerds.thekartel.com/blog/2010/02/22/exclusive_qa_with_sonic_and_sega_all-star_racings_producers was considered]] for the Wii version, but Sega felt [[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames they whored the plumber too much already]].
*** On a similar note, Sony were approached about RatchetAndClank making an appearance in the same vein as Banjo & Kazooie, but Sony refused to loan their characters out as they had [[ModNationRacers their own kart racer]] coming out a few months afterwards. Reportedly, Sony ''did'' change their minds on the matter, but it was too late in production to add them to the game.
** Also on the list in the above link: [[VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia Vyse]].
** Also considered, [[PhantasyStarII Nei]].
** [[GoldenAxe Gilius Thunderhead]] was playable in the prototype version of the game, but was [[IncrediblyLamePun axed]] from the final version. He and Vyse are set to appear in the sequel however.
** Advertising/SegataSanshiro [[http://www.tssznews.com/2009/12/02/segata-sanshiro-considered-for-asr-but-unlikely/ was seriously considered for this game.]]
** Depending on sales, DownloadableContent could have made these possibilities a reality, but the developer has since revealed that Sega only contracted them to create Metal Sonic, so nothing further will come out. However, a sequel is being made.
