| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) | comment |
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game built using the 3D Doom Legacy engine and is regarded as one of the finer Sonic fan games to have ever hit an official release... And then someone wondered what would happen if you programmed a kart racer using Sonic Robo Blast 2's code base as a foundation.The result is the aptly titled Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: A Doom engine-powered kart racer starring Sonic and his friends, his enemies, and numerous Sega guest stars racing and battling it out on 100 maps. Or at least, only Sonic and his friends and only 100 maps to start with, as the game was designed with game mods in mind and even starts every player with some bonus characters to show off what can be done. The game allows for up to 4 players to play offline or go online for up to 16 player online matches, though it currently lacks any form of AI racers (well, not officially). It was officially released on November 16th 2018.A sequel to Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, titled Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, was released on April 24th 2024. Originally planned as a big update for the game, Kart Krew decided to change various mechanics of the game, to revamp some of the tracks, to emphasize on the Sonic content and to put away references to other companies, and to add some new content to the game, to the point that it ended as a completely different thing from the original, and so they changed the long name of the game (which can seem cryptic to those who never played SRB2) for a totally different one.The game starts on a long tutorial where Dr. Robotnik and Tails apparently became friends while trying to repair Metal Sonic (the player sees the former two with his visors), and after the reparation is finally complete, both test a new vehicle which uses Rings' energy as fuel: the Ring Racers. After a series of tests where both geniuses switch places as test subjects and analysts, the game finally starts: you can chose between one of the 9 default pilots, do the 5 tracks of the Ring Cup, and after that, either try to unlock the 7 cups the game has to offerspoilerand realize that it actually has 14 cups, and then discover it has 28 cups in total, not counting some bonus cups which have their own page, and that's just for the vanilla game, try your hand at the various Time Attack modes, or challenge players online. | |

The Artifact | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Certain tracks, such as Sapphire Coast Zone and Toxic Palace Zone, have large windows partway through the track. In Super SRB2 Kart Z, players could earn a Whirlwind Shield powerup from crossing the finish line (among abilities based on the other monitors in Sonic Robo Blast 2) and use it to jump through these openings and achieve huge skips. This power was since given to the Battle Mode-only Spring item as the ability to jump in regular races was deemed too broken and easy to exploit the tracks' intended pathing with. | |

Continuity Porn: The roster of the game, especially Ring Racers, includes a large number of one-shot Sonic characters that had only one key appearance and never showed up again. This includes the robots Heavy and Bomb from Knuckles Chaotix, Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles of Sonic R fame, Honey the Cat from Sonic the Fighters, and Emerl from Sonic Battle. The non-Sonic cast also gets a lot of love as both current and obscure Sega properties are represented- including most of the ones featured in Sega Superstars and then some. | |

Eternal Engine | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_19028da | comment |
Eternal Engine: Comes in two flavors: Petroleum Refinery Zone, which is barren save for the occasional ball and chain obstacle, and Red Barrage Area, a much busier track that doubles up on spiked balls (with or without chains) and even has switches that can enable or disable boost panels. Map Hell adds a third flavor in the form of Chemical Facility Zone, which is surrounded by hazardous chemicals and filled with conveyor belts that are all too happy to drag you into the toxic pool. | |

Fairy Companion: You can unlock a little companion who will fly around your character and warn you about racers and items coming right behind you. There are many of them, ranging from Flickies to Badniks and even the Barrel from Carnival Night. The Mystic Melody in particular is required to interact with the little hidden shrines taken from Sonic Adventure 2. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Several nods to both the Sonic franchise in general and Sonic Robo Blast 2 specifically are scattered throughout the game: Most items available in Item Boxes are available in monitors from the official Sonic games as well. Aside from series mainstays such as Invincibility and the Eggman Monitor, several come from more obscure sources: The Power Sneakers are among the most common power-ups in the series, but this game's implementation of them is specifically based on their appearance in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, being an item that gives you a short burst of speed and can come in a set of three. The Banana and Self-Propelled Bomb items both come from the Competition Mode of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The Rocket Shoes and Pogo Springs only had two prior appearances: Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos and Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble. The Grow and Shrink items were only ever seen in Knuckles Chaotix (though Shrink affected the player in that game, while the SRB2Kart version affects opponents). The Mine is actually from one of Sonic's earliest racing endeavors, Sonic Drift. The first track of the Invincible Cup is based on Desert Palace Zone, also from the Competition Mode of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Ring Racers features an entire cup, the S.P.B. Cup based on the mode's levels; the aforementioned Desert Palace, Balloon Park, Endless Mine, Chrome Gadget and Azure Lake. Endless Mine gets a second track in another cup further along. Numerous tracks are based on Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Notably, almost all Sonic Adventure 1 levels are named after the song that plays in the area they're inspired by, as opposed to the name of the level itself. Dark Race, the second track in the Ring Cup, is inspired by the Chao Races from Sonic Adventure 2. There are four levels based on Twinkle Park: two of them (Twinkle Cart and Pleasure Castle) appear as the final two tracks of the Water Cup, while the other two (Fakery Way and Bumper Carts) appear as battle courses. Red Barrage Area, the penultimate track of the Invincible Cup, is based on E-102 Gamma's version of Hot Shelter. Egg Quarters is the third track of the Egg Cup. Among the tracks in the Swap Cup are Balloon Panic from Sonic Drift 2 (albeit with the random balloon effects replaced by simply launching the racer upward) and a repurposed Special Stage 3 from Sonic Mania. Ring Racers adds all seven of Mania's Special Stage courses in under the Phantom Cup, two of which are Battle/Prison Eggs stages. One race track in Map Hell is based on Arid Sands. Ring Racers brings in Savannah Citadel from the same game as a track. Among the many Battle Mode maps are Marble Zone, Death Egg's Eye, Power Plant, Colosseum, Tails' Lab, and the first special stage from Sonic CD, with the latter 3 courses lifting their layouts straight from their original games. Badniks from Sonic Robo Blast 2 appear in the background of several tracks. One of the selectable palettes, "Robo-Hood", is even named after one. Frozen Night from Robo Blast 2 appears as a Map Hell / Recycle A Cup race track, and Meadow Match appears as a Map Hell / Recycle A Cup battle course. In the intro to Ring Racers, Tails mentions that his original character is "Nine Tails", a meaner version of himself who never met Sonic, implying that he's either aware of his Shatterverse counterpart or is aware that he could have turned out quite differently if he had never met Sonic. | |

| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_2c385759 | comment |
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Not in the default cast, which only includes 5 Sonic characters, but among the 30 bonus characters, 12 of them are from other games. All of these characters (with the sole exception of Doomguy) are actually from Sega's other franchises, making the complete roster very reminiscent of the Sega Superstars racing games. And that's not even getting into mod support, which allows for virtually any character to be made playable. | |

Rubber-Band A.I.: Players now all have a tether, which causes them to drive faster based on a speed and distance determined by their stats. This also serves as an interesting inversion, as the player can instead rubber-band off of CPU players. | |

Multiplayer Difficulty Spike | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_3ac709f6 | comment |
Multiplayer Difficulty Spike: Inevitable in v1, given that its only single-player mode is Record Attack. Playing multiplayer races is a whole different beast because, unlike Record Attack, you have to deal with a lot of items whose behaviors you might have never seen until now, not to mention player collisions. Even once you get over this hurdle, it's not enough to take advantage of shortcuts - it becomes a lot more important to perform star boosts (which is a two frame window during the race's countdown) and take better racing lines in order to keep your advantage... But once you have enough of it, the Self-Propelled Bomb will start chasing you down, meaning that playing perfectly effectively becomes enforced. It's not uncommon for very good players to take an advantage early from lap 1, get a Self-Propelled Bomb on their tails and either slip up and have said slip-up cost them the entire race (either through player error or a stray item/enemy player knocking them into the SPB) or win while racing against it for 3 laps straight. In addition, there is a lot of nuance behind item usage, not to mention many little behaviors that can be exploited. And if you join a server with custom levels... | |

Home-Run Hitter | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_3ad1d235 | comment |
Home-Run Hitter: Invincibility, the Land Mine, and the Gardentop send their victims flying across the map, while also putting them in a Tumble damage state that extends the launch with a few extra bounces. Getting hit by a larger player (either due to them using Grow or you being under the effects of Shrink) inflicts a weaker variant called the Stumble, which doesn't launch players very far and has no hitstun. | |

| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: The developers really want you to play through the tutorial. If you fail to skip it via the secret race, you're denied from attempting again while either Eggman or Tails insist they should resume training. If you do skip the tutorial via the race or a password and only clear it after collecting every spray can in the game, there is a special cutscene where Tails encounters no cans in the end and repeatedly shames himself for skipping the tutorial. | |

Left It In: One of Darkvile Garden Zone's staff ghosts involve the developer boinciel standing still on the 1:30 minute mark, and not moving until 2 minutes later, finishing in under four minutes in a map that's usually finished in a minute and forty seconds. It was left in because it was funny. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: Certain mods aren't allowed in Record Attack, as the staff ghosts were all designed with the default cast and systems in mind. As of 1.0.3, the only exceptions are custom characters who don't use lua and custom tracks that don't replace existing tracks in order to allow for players to try racers with stat combinations that go unused by the default cast in the case of the former. It is possible for characters with low enough speed and high enough weight to perform the snaking tactic made infamous in Mario Kart DS. However, certain countermeasures are put in place to make it not viable for racing: Firstly, characters lose speed while drifting, meaning that while they can easily gain the speed back by firing off a blue mini-turbo, the offset between the loss in speed while drifting and the gain in speed while boosting means simply driving straight is faster overall. Secondly, many of the characters capable of snaking already have average to high acceleration (max acceleration in the case of Motobug and Gamma), so using a blue mini-turbo to recover is, under most circumstances, not preferable over simply using the racer's natural acceleration. Thirdly, Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart uses the automatic boost buildup from Mario Kart Wii onwards during drifts instead of the manual boost buildup from DS and the two console 3D entries (64 and Double Dash!!) that preceded it. While there is a password to access Tournament Mode in Ring Racers that gives access to almost everything, the game can't be saved, and there is one achievement which is hidden when Tournament Mode is active which isn't unlocked — despite more passwords being added since the game's launch, the player must legitimately solve a riddle to acquire the final character. | |

Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_477dda1c | comment |
Nonlethal Bottomless Pits: As usual for kart games, falling off course will send your kart flying back to the track via the ringed beam gimmick from Sonic & Knuckles' Death Egg Zone. Of particular note is that Mystic Cave Zone in Ring Racers is faithful to the mobile remake of Sonic 2 — a pit in the track will send you into Hidden Palace Zone. | |

Opening the Sandbox: The first set of cups are played in a fixed order from first to last. Clearing the Extra Cup unlocks most of a second set of cups all at once, allowing the player to tackle them in any order until the final cup is unlocked. Then after clearing the Egg Cup, 14 more are unlocked at once. | |

Do Well, But Not Perfect | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_5049f19d | comment |
Do Well, But Not Perfect: Subverted with the Self-Propelled Bomb. It targets the player who has a significant lead from everyone else, but unlike the Blue Shell of Mario Kart fame, it slows down once it reaches the race leader, match the racer's normal top speed, and will only catch the racer if they spin out or drive poorly, meaning that they should play perfect to keep it away as long as possible. Played straight in the way it's summoned: If the frontrunner is too far ahead, a SPB is immediately put into the hands of the second-place racer on the next Monitor they break to give the frontrunner more pressure and a chance for the other racers to catch up. | |

Diminishing Returns for Balance | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_53e6f4a | comment |
Diminishing Returns for Balance: How the game's stat system works. Play a character with more speed and their acceleration suffers, play a heavier racer and their handling drops steadily. The player's Drift Spark Rate also increases the more Weight the racer has and further increases the lower the racer's Speed Stat gets. | |

Nostalgia Level: Map Hell includes several levels from earlier incarnations of SRB2Kart that were removed from the main map rotation: The Peach's Castle race and battle courses date all the way back to when the mod was just a mode for the SRB2 Riders mod. Black Bliss and Chemical Facility both originated in the Super SRB2 Kart Z version of the game. "Classic" versions of Volcanic Valley, Diamond Square, and Blue Mountain based on the aforementioned Kart Z versions are also present. | |

Fragile Speedster: Sonic is naturally one of the fastest characters, but he's also pretty light. Bonus characters Blaze and Flicky (Aigis before 1.0.2) have stat combinations close to Sonic's, with Flicky taking this the furthest by being both one of the two fastest characters and one of the four lightest. | |

Skill Gate Characters | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_59da9841 | comment |
Skill Gate Characters: Chao is very beginner-friendly and will have an easy time staying on track. However, he is extremely slow and light, limiting his potential. Dark Chao, Hero Chao, and Tails are one step up from Chao, with Dark Chao being 1 point heavier, Hero Chao being 1 point faster, and Tails having a point greater in both speed and weight. Faster lightweights such as Cream, Sonic, Amy, and Flicky are also beginner-friendly as they can take turns relatively easy without relying on drifting while also having average to great top speeds. Their only downsides are their poor acceleration combined with the aforementioned lack of weight, and the faster lightweights having a harder time building up drift boosts on turns (with Flicky having it the worst). | |

Off the Chart | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_601a7577 | comment |
Off the Chart: In earlier versions of SRB2Kart, it was possible to make racers that had stats higher than 9 or lower than 1 that would shoot off the chart on the character select screen. This wasn't reflected in gameplay, as a character with 0 in either stat would round up to 1, while a 10 or higher rounds down to 9. Later versions fixed the graph to show the actual stat, regardless of what speed or weight the character was assigned. It is, however, possible to create characters that go off the stat chart using lua scripts. It doesn't work as well as one would expect, however, as speeds higher than 10 usually result in the characters not being able to accelerate at all, and weights higher than 10 may cause characters to barely make sharp turns and maintain speed at all or drift the opposite way. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The rival AI, assigned from the second race of a Grand Prix cup onwards, gets blatant advantages over the player and even other AI racers: Their top speed is 10% faster than the assigned speed stat, meaning a speed-focused character, such as Sonic, makes for a formidable rival. Their tethering slipstream and ring boosts are twice as powerful as the standard versions. They outright get better item odds, and gain more powerful items, such as Invincibility, more frequently. | |

Secret Character | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_6bff99d4 | comment |
Secret Character: The game features many unlockable characters, but Ring the Racer stands out among the rest, having an unlock method which is nigh impossible to discover by accident.note "Hire a bounty hunter, recite a fabled incantation, and wait until morning." That means gathering 99,999 rings to unlock Mail (unlocking her with a password also works) and typing "race as a ring" in the password screen (which has no immediately apparent effect). In the Controls tutorial, you must unlock the gate at the end, return to the beginning, use a rainbow drift on the set of red springs to launch yourself at the high rooftop of the building ahead and dive onto it to bounce over the fence. In the shortcut room, stay idle in front of the static monitor for 10 whole minutes until it clears up, go back again and launch yourself at the building's lower rooftop. Then finally and carefully drop down onto the nearby bridge with a now unlocked door to grab the balloon inside. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Crystal Abyss is one of the game's longest tracks, even though it only lasts for two laps, and is peppered with tricky turns to boot. In addition, the level is arguably the most visually-detailed in the entire game, thus it can (and likely will) cripple performance with weaker computers, especially in multiplayer. Crystal Abyss was actually the very first track to end up in Map Hell; the aforementioned issues meant that having it only appear occasionally worked best. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: While the game's manual explains various advanced mechanics like slip-tiding, it does not cover everything: Did you know you can cancel Grow while it's active, by holding the item button? Neither the manual or the game explains this mechanic proper. This is incredibly useful, as you can cancel it as you pass an item row to keep getting items to help you catch up. The Drift Spark Rate mechanic which decreases the amount of drift needed to build boosts as slower and heavier drivers goes completely un-mentioned in the manual. The Kitchen Sink has a lot of behaviors that are simply not explained, not to mention that the manual does not acknowledge its existence, perhaps because of its status as a Joke Item and an Easter Egg. Unlike the banana, it will not defend you from hits taken from behind, and it cannot be placed behind you, while still slowing you down if dragged. If you miss the throw, it will not stay on the ground, meaning you can only hit with it dead on. However, to compensate, it has two possible arcs, the default, wide banana-like arc (by simply pressing Item) or a more horizontal and powerful trajectory (by pressing forward and Item), and if you hit anyone with it, they are forced to respawn and lose a lot of time. Rainbow boosts. While the manual bothers to explain that blue and red mini boosts exist, rainbow boosts are also possible by drifting for a significant amount of time, as it takes twice as long to build a rainbow boost after getting a red one. This gives heavier racers an edge over lighter ones, with a boost that rivals a Sneaker in duration. Many of the unlockables in Ring Racers have quite complicated and cryptic unlock methods. One in particular is finding the entrance to a certain secret course via an out-of-the-way pit in another course. Then there's the titular Ring the Racer, who cannot be unlocked via password and must be found via a long process that the game only hints at with a riddle. One part of it is inputting the password "race as a ring" that is a community In-Joke not found within the game itself. | |

Excuse Plot: While SRB2 Kart had no plot at all, Ring Racers features a long and embellished opening tutorial full of dialogue between Tails and a seemingly reformed Dr. Eggman as they use a new source of power for motorsports. The viewpoint character is Metal Sonic, with hints at him being a possible future threat to the peace they've achieved. Unfortunately, the whole thing comes off like a prologue to a non-existent story mode, as there's no more plot for the remainder of the game. | |

Forced Tutorial | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_735b967c | comment |
Forced Tutorial: Ring Racers requires players to play a tutorial before making it to the title screen, which is framed as Metal Sonic viewing a record of Dr. Eggman and Tails doing a test run in a factory racing course. However, rather than a tutorial, this is really a half hour-long story scenario with multiple sets of platforming and puzzle challenges that introduce every ability in the player's moveset and every mechanic and object featured in the game. Players are allowed to "skip" it only by finding a path that instead challenges them to ranking high in a race against difficult opponents. And then, knowing a lot of people are really there for the online multiplayer, the game forces them to unlock it by first proving their skills on the Grand Prix mode. However, both of these requirements can be skipped with the right passwords and knowing how to open the password feature before entering the tutorial, and the 2.1 update added new exits that would end the tutorial quicker, as well as lowering the difficulty of the secret race. | |

Joke Item: Very rarely, the item monitors or the Hyudoros will grant you a kitchen sink. A successful hit with the sink will force the victim to respawn as if they fell into a pit, and announce to the server that the attacker landed the hit. However, the sink does nothing else and will simply despawn if it misses, thus having no benefit if the wielder can't aim a perfect throw. | |

One-Shot Character | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_8bc5b86e | comment |
The roster of the game, especially Ring Racers, includes a large number of one-shot Sonic characters that had only one key appearance and never showed up again. This includes the robots Heavy and Bomb from Knuckles Chaotix, Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles of Sonic R fame, Honey the Cat from Sonic the Fighters, and Emerl from Sonic Battle. | |

Mighty Glacier | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Mighty Glacier: Eggman has one of the highest weights in the base game (tied with Metal) and has the highest drift spark charge rate, but has very low top speed. Among the bonus characters, there's Chaos Zero, who's slightly faster than Eggman but also slightly heavier, and Gamma, who takes this to the extreme by having the highest weight, but also the lowest top speed. Played With due to the fact that a low top speed also means a high acceleration and the ability to charge boosts faster while drifting, meaning they can reach said speeds faster and recover better than most other racers. | |

Nitro Boost | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_95f972d2 | comment |
Nitro Boost: Ring Racers revolves around speeding up with the titular ring mechanic. You can collect up to 20 rings at once and you need to keep peppering yourself with them, particularly while driving up slopes since the kart can barely do it on its own. Running out of rings can be extremely punishing. In Kart, a boost is given at the beginning of a race by holding down on the accelarator at the right time. In Ring Racers, you need to hit the forcefield that normally traps you for a foul after the countdown has ended, but before any other racer does.. Quite a few items have a boost effect, such as Power Sneakers, Rocket Sneakers that can be briefly spammed and Invincibility. In Ring Racers, one type of item will spin a roulette whose results will recharge your rings for certain amounts of time. Dash pads boost whoever drives over them. Gust Planet in Ring Racers even has an unique launch tube gimmick that is taken from its source romhack. You need to hit a nearby dashpad and the tube back-to-back for the best effect. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Do you have an habit of mashing your item button to get an item faster, like in Mario Kart? Doing so here will give you an item faster as well... but you will also get a significantly worse item in returnnote Specifically, your chances to get a Power Item will be divided by two. Power Items include items such as Invincibility, Grow, Triple Sneakers, Ballhog, Double Jawz, and more., represented by the item flashing red. | |

Floating Continent | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_9b0b8109 | comment |
Floating Continent: Silvercloud Island Zone is a floating island track that even has a small town. Cloud Cradle Zone K, a sky-high temple of sorts that's slightly less safe than Silvercloud Island. CK Cloud Tops 2, which is less populated than Silvercloud Island or Cloud Cradle, and much easier to fall off of. This applies to Map Hell's CK Cloud Tops as well. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Heavyweight racers (7 weight or higher) in general get this as they cannot turn as sharp as the lighter racers and must rely on drifting to get through tight turns or combine drifting with breaking to maintain control through even tighter turns. Your reward for choosing a heavyweight over a lightweight with 3 weight or lower and drifting around corners optimally means you get a racer that can preform better in races than lightweights as they can obtain drift boosts faster and don't have to get worried about being knocked around the track by the bigger racers since they are the bigger racers. For a specific example: Metal Sonic is as fast as Sonic but trades handling for weight, making him harder to control but much more powerful with drift boosts. Vector and Omega take this even further by being opposites to Blaze and Flicky respectively, taking their Weight stats and "reversing" them for worse control in exchange for superior Weight and DSR. | |

Foreshadowing | |

Foreshadowing: Part of the process for unlocking the final character is inputting the password "race as a ring". In the secret room in the Controls tutorial, you are required to stand next to a static monitor that displays a view taken from a certain screenshot from a particular SRB2 Message Board character mod thread. Indeed, the final secret character is that same Ring, but now with a body. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Tails is the slowest and lightest of the default characters, but his high acceleration allows him to quickly recover from spinning out, and his excellent handling makes it easy to zip around corners while chaining boosts. Bonus characters that also fit the role include Chao, who takes Tails's stats to their extreme, Dark and Hero Chao, who are a single point lower than Tails in speed and weight respectively, and Motobug, Ray (Rouge in 1.0.2), and Ulala, who similarly have a low Speed stat but are heavier. | |

Competitive Balance | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_9f4a47f2 | comment |
Competitive Balance: The character select screen outlines the two mutually exclusive stat pairs for players: top speed vs acceleration and handling vs weight. These points are stressed with the bonus characters Gamma, Chao, Omega and Flicky (or Aigis before 1.0.2) who are each put in a different corner of the grid. This allows 81 combinations of speed and weight in total to be added to the roster. Ring Racers keeps this chart and details it on the select screen: the 81 combinations are classified in 9 classes (from A to I, going from the slowest to the fastest, then from the lightest to the heaviest) which the default characters are the standards, and if you press the drift button, you can check the character's stats to determine your choice better. | |

In-Joke | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_a3385649 | comment |
Many of the unlockables in Ring Racers have quite complicated and cryptic unlock methods. One in particular is finding the entrance to a certain secret course via an out-of-the-way pit in another course. Then there's the titular Ring the Racer, who cannot be unlocked via password and must be found via a long process that the game only hints at with a riddle. One part of it is inputting the password "race as a ring" that is a community In-Joke not found within the game itself. | |

However, the explosion can actually be used to the victim's advantage; it affects anyone else caught in the blast, possibly even the player who set the trap in the first place. | |

Secret Level | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_aa5d87af | comment |
Secret Level: The two Lost & Found courses, not counting the secret engine test sandbox area. Test Track is an optional challenge in the tutorial that counts as a clear condition for it and is accessed by leaving the intended path via a backdoor. It is based on the virtual world-like visuals of test levels from fangame engines such as Sonic Worlds. In the initial version, there was no indication that this course existed but updates added huge neon signs and dialogues to inform players about it. Hidden Palace replaces Mystic Cave in the Emerald Cup if you find its entrance in the latter course. It is only very vaguely hinted at in the Achievements menu and you can only access it in free play after unlocking the Lost & Found section of the cup menu. | |

Picking green for your color has Eggman ask Tails if he's "had enough of green and hills to last a lifetime", alluding to how often Green Hill Zone has re-appeared throughout the games (including this one, multiple times). Eggman's remark about how "nature lovers would kiss a plant if [they] could get with it" is also a subtle reference to Tails and Cosmo's relationship in Sonic X. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: Sealed Star: The game's version of the Chaos Emerald special stages. You must get enough points in a cup to access it (usually by either getting first place in every race and/or placing high enough with 20 rings). In these stages, you have to chase a UFO Catcher carrying a Chaos Emerald much like Sonic Mania, but with the catch being that you must use items to destroy the catcher. At that point, the Chaos Emerald will begin moving on its own, and you need to touch it. The track also doesn't loop, so you have a limited time to do all of this - reach the end of the track without collecting the Emerald or fall off the track, and you lose a life. Lose all of your lives and you are forced to the cup results screen, forcing you to redo the cup all over again, or to unlock the stage again in the next cup (or a previous one if you reached the 14th cup, as you can only unlock Emeralds via the cups on the first select screen). | |

Continuing is Painful: You are allowed an attempt to skip the long tutorial by instead racing against the CPU on a special track. If you fail this, then you will go back to the tutorial and you will like it. To access the Sealed Star stages, you need to clear any of the first 14 cups on Normal difficulty or higher with a high score, which requires using little to no continues. Those are very tough stages meant to burn through your remaining continues, and if you run out of them, then it cuts to the cup's final results and you must play it all over again. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The game contains quite a few nods to the original F-Zero: Sand Valley and Blue Mountain use the themes of Sand Ocean and White Land respectively, Silence appears as a Map Hell course, and if a driver fails to place, they explode like a F-Zero machine, complete with the same explosion sprites and camera movements. Misty Maze Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix appears as a track, even using its remix of "Industrial District" from Columns III instead of the slower-paced original composition. The final track of the Invincible Cup is the Midnight Channel. Its Encore Mode palette also gives it a Persona 5 red-and-black look as well. One cup (aptly named the SMK Cup) exclusively features tracks from Super Mario Kart. The game's four Battle Courses are available in Battle Mode as well. A few other levels from the Mario Kart franchise can also be found elsewhere in the game, including the Mario Kart: Super Circuit version of Rainbow Road and two battle maps from Mario Kart 64. On top of the several Mario Kart racing tracks, Lava Bubbles appear as obstacles in Volcanic Valley Zone, and in the background of Boiling Bedrock Zone. Peach's Castle is an original track found in Map Hell. Toads with sprites ripped from Super Mario All-Stars also appear in Arid Sands, using Toad's Mario Kart 64 scream when they're blowed over. Ganbare Dochu 2 from Konami Krazy Racers appears as the first track in the Chao Cup. Map Hell includes a few more race tracks from other games, namely Retro Maze from Pac-Man World Rally, Silence from F-Zero, and Rainbow Road from the original Super Mario Kart. Among the battle courses are Armored Armadillo, Trigger Happy Havoc, and Mementos. One Map Hell battle arena level features Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff as wall textures. The "Plague" color available for use on characters is styled directly after Plague Knight's colors. The sound for starting a race is taken from Diddy Kong Racing. If you happen to throw a banana directly at another racer before it lands or hit someone with a banana at point blank, you'll hear a faint ping sound effect. Community Cup's Opulence Zonenote which replaces Honeybee Industries Zone from Version 1.4 onwards has various internal shout-outs to very popular community levels and authors as represented in paintings and hidden cameos, alongside references to other tracksnote including Liquidation Circuit Zone, Canyon Cascade Zone, Wave Dimension Zone, Ballistic Reef Zone, and Splashdown Zone designed by IvoYaridovich. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: If you skip the tutorial, the section where you pick your first Palette Swap adjusts depending on how many spray cans you've collected. If you've collected at least one (and therefore unlocked one of the initial nine colors), it'll be replaced with a different one; the game will also acknowledge that the new color isn't supposed to be here if you pick it. If you're crazy enough to have collected all of them without doing this section of the tutorial, there'll be no spray cans to pick from, and an extended bit of exclusive dialogue plays. | |

Bonus Level: Ring Racers has two types of bonus level included in the Grand Prix mode: Prison Eggs: Each cup has two of these, with the objective being to take out a bunch of Prison Eggs in battle mode stages in a limited amount of time, the amount of time you have increasing with each prison destroyed. The second requires more specific conditions to be played, and its difficulty puts it on the trope below. | |

Guest Fighter | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_d687ba2a | comment |
Guest Fighter: Many of the game's base roster comes from other Sega properties and games they published, as detailed in the characters folder.note Despite having a crossover game with Sonic, Mario is ironically not included due to being owned by Nintendo, as well as to limit the influence of Mario content in the game. He and many other Nintendo characters are available as a fanmade addons though. 1.1 added Doomguy as a bonus character; especially notable as he's the only bonus character not to have any proper ties to Sega whatsoever, more likely being included due to the mod being based on the Doom Engine. In SRB2Kart's predecessor Super SRB2 Kart Z, Waluigi in his Brawl in the Family design was present in the bonus add-on file (misc.kart) bundled with the game, but to limit the influence of Mario content in SRB2Kart and since the skin was never updated to match the standards of the other characters for SRB2Kart, he was ultimately dropped. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In the Tutorial levels, getting blown up will send you back to the last checkpoint you reached, and even in the Self-Propelled Bomb escape sequence in the Drifting course, there are multiple checkpoints about so that you don't have to redo the whole chase from the start if you mess up. There's often two methods of completing specific challenges, which is convenient for specific challenges that would either never happen due to luck or something a player wouldn't think to do - two prime examples with primary unlock methods being Carol Tea being unlocked by loading an addon, and Jack Frost becoming unlocked after the game crashes. You can actually get both at the same time by loading an invalid addon file (likely from the origial SRB2K) to cause the game to crash, which will still fulfil both conditions. A post-launch update adressed the main complaints about its Forced Tutorial and unlock system. The player is now allowed to leave the tutorial or access its racing challenge at certain sections, and the race is made easier on top of immediately unlocking online mode if won (which actually gives incentive for taking that route). Mod support and Time Attack mode are also unlocked sooner. Chao Keys for unlocking content appear more often and there are more passwords for unlocking categories of stuff. The Rubberband AI is also made more forgiving. The Sealed Star levels can be frustrating, as you need many conditions to unlock it at the end of a cup, the minimap is way too simplistic, the barrier protecting the Emerald is extremely resistant, and you may need to start the cup all over again if you lose all your lives. However, if you manage to get a Self-Propelled Bomb, once it reaches the Emerald, it deals significant damage to the Barrier, making it easier for you to destroy it and get the Emerald. | |

Lethal Lava Land: Volcanic Valley Zone, a level filled with volcanoes and erratic rocky terrain, with Lava Bubbles and small eruptions blocking the path. Unsurprisingly, this also applies to its Classic version in Map Hell. Boiling Bedrock Zone, which isn't as close to volcanoes, but is still surrounded by lava, with steam and rings of fire appearing without warning. Crimson Core Zone, a heated factory-like track with flames erupting from the pits. | |

Glacier Waif: While not that heavy, Miku is still rated 6 on the weight scale, making her the heaviest female racer in the base game, only slightly lighter than the likes of Vector. Mighty also manages to be as heavy as Eggman despite being the same size as Sonic and lacking Metal Sonic's, well, metal excuse. | |

Bonus characters Vector, Omega, and Vyse also qualify, with Omega in particular having the highest possible top speed and weight. | |

Breakout Mook Character | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_dbb2a757 | comment |
Breakout Mook Character: In Super SRB2 Kart Z, Robo-Hood, one of Sonic Robo Blast 2's Badniks, could be added via the "misc characters" file that came with the game. Similarly, there was Crawla Honcho, a Crawla with a honcho getup that spoke in The Soldier's voice. This role would eventually go to Motobug in SRB2Kart proper (later joined by Cluckoid in Ring Racers) while the aforementioned Robo-Hood and Crawla Honcho were scrapped from the playable roster and reduced to cameos throughout the various courses.note There do exist community addons to return Robo-Hood to the playable roster, as well as two different varieties of Crawla. | |

Made of Explodium: Last place simply explodes once everyone else crosses the finish line, F-Zero style. Anyone who doesn't cross the finish line before time runs out after over half of the racers had finished the race will explode as well. Hitting the Toads in Arid Sands sends them flying a short distance before exploding spectacularly. In Ring Racers: Taking damage when -20 rings into Ring Debt causes your kart to tumble and explode upon hitting the ground. You respawn with 5 rings as pity shortly after. Getting crushed, unlike Kart, makes your kart explode. | |

Expy | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: All of the items racers obtain from monitors are based on some form of item used in the Mario Kart series and several other kart racers: Bananas are the only item shared between games, except the SRB2Kart variety slows down the user if dragged behind for too long. Sneakers are pulled directly from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, once again functioning like Mushrooms by granting a one-time speed boost. The Rocket Sneakers likewise are based on the Golden Mushroom used in the 3D Mario Kart games but on a fuel limit to encourage more strategic usage instead of Button Mashing. Eggman Monitors are the stand-ins for Fake Item Boxes. Instead of blowing up on impact, they take a page from the TNT Crates of Crash Team Racing and place a ticking bomb on anyone unfortunate to collect one before exploding three seconds later. Unlike the Fake Item Box, players can use the delayed explosion to catch other drivers in the explosion (setting it off manually if they must), and unlike the TNT Crates, they cannot be shaken off. However, they can be passed on to another racer by bumping into them. Mines are based on Bob-ombs, differing in that they cannot explode until after they activate, and the activation is delayed further if the bomb is placed down behind the user instead of thrown forwards. It also slows the user if dragged behind. Orbinauts serve as the non-homing projectile item, similar to the Green Shell. The heat-seaking Jawz emulate the Red Shell but function more like the Homing Rockets from Diddy Kong Racing and the Missiles from Crash Team Racing (they only aim for the targeted driver and can be cut off by terrain if not fired close enough). Invincibility and Grow serve as counterparts to the Star and Mega Mushroom respectively. Shrink acts like the Lightning item, but instantly shrinks down all rival racers without causing a spinout instead of striking them with a bolt of thunder. Hyudoros turn the user invisible, ala the Boo item, but also lets the user drive in off-road without losing traction or speed (a feature not every Mario Kart game that featured the Boo item has included). The Pogo Spring is the Cape Feather, exclusive to Battle Mode just like the Feather was when it returned to the Mario Kart series in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Ballhog is based on the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! version of the Fireball item, lobbing forwards five bouncing orb-shaped projectiles at once. The Self-Propelled Bomb mimics the legendary (Spiny) Blue Shell, targeting the racer in first place and stunning them for a prolonged period (as opposed to simply exploding) if it connects. Unlike the Blue Shell, the frontrunner can attempt to evade the SPB by driving well. Thunder Shields are based on the Super Horn, triggering an Area of Effect attack as well as serving as the only force for stopping the frontrunner-targeting item (the Self-Propelled Bomb in SRB2Kart's case) Fire Shields, introduced in V2, are based on the Bullet Bill item, differing in that it is manually controlled, giving the user great speed at the cost of handling. It is not an autopilot item ala the Bullet Bill and it has a limited, always consistent fuel gage instead of lasting different durations based on how much progress it has made. The Water Shield, also introduced in Ring Racers, replicates the Bubble from Diddy Kong Racing, trapping the victim in a large bubble and preventing them from moving until they get out. Unlike the Diddy Kong Racing bubble, the player can use it on themselves as an offensive weapon instead of a trap. | |

Green Hill Zone: As one would expect, the Trope Namer is the first level, though it takes its style and theme after Green Hills Zone from the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Paradise Hill Zone also qualifies, though it is much larger than Green Hills (to the point where it only has two laps). Sonic Speedway Zone fits the trope as well, but it also serves as an equivalent to Mario Circuit, Royal Raceway and other "circuit" tracks from the Mario Kart series. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: You can run into Toads standing in the middle of the track in Arid Sands, causing them to get launched and self-destruct as a result. They provide no penalty for doing so and running them over has no impact on the overall race, but it slows you down slightly and the explosion can spin out racers that drive into it. A more intentionally implemented example is with the battle mode. After running out of Bumpers, you turn into a Self-Propelled Bomb (styled after the Bomb Kart from Mario Kart 64) and can drive your kart into other racers still in the game to destroy one of their bumpers. Destroying a certain amount (or simply striking the player marked as "Wanted") will award you with an extra one of your own and put you back in the game. | |

| Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Video Game) / int_f011deb5 | comment |
Strong and Skilled: While they are on the Glass Cannon side, characters with a great top speed but low weight, as long as they stay on the road and avoid heavier characters, are the fastest on straight lines and take the sharpest corners with ease. Despite being the exact opposite, heavy characters who focus on acceleration fit this trope too considering they can push lighter characters and can spam powerful boosts as soon as you master their handling handicap. This is emphasized in Ring Racers, as the Rings mechanic allows them to catch up the most fastest racers. | |

Unskilled, but Strong: Characters like Metal Sonic lack acceleration to recover from spinning out and precision to take sharp corners precisely, but their heavy weight allows them to knock lighter drivers off-road and once they reach their top speed and anticipate sharp turns, they are nearly unstoppable. | |

Stone Wall: Characters with overall low speed stats (1 or 2 speed) can use their high acceleration to quickly gain speed, recover from attacks, and correct driving errors much more quickly than faster racers. They also tend to have above average Drift Spark Rates for their weight class. Despite this, and true to their norm, they have lower top speeds overall and need to rely more greatly on drifting, boosting, and knocking away other racers to overtake opponents and stay ahead. | |

Theme Naming: As a Sonic fan game, many of the tracks and arenas end in "Zone", though some exceptions apply. Most of the Cups are named after item box items, with the Water, Lightning, and Fire Cups being named after the shield types from Sonic 3 and Knuckles. The exceptions are the Emerald Cup (not counting its appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, though it is still an iconic Sonic item), the Chao Cup (named after an iconic Sonic species instead), the SMK Cup (named after the game its tracks are based on, Super Mario Kart), and the Community Cup (named for its tracks being creations of the game's community). | |
