Yeah, a couple of the GameCube EA Sports games had Mario guest characters.

I'm also gonna be sharing a new Annalynn drawing each day until the petition closes! If you can't petition it yourself then sharing these with a friend is the next best thing you can do!

It's finally here!! You've been asking for this for a long time, so I'm finally bringing an official Annalynn plushie to you guys through Makeship!

We need 200 petitions to bring this to reality, so back it while you can! Petitions close on October 19th.

Annalynn's official plushie is finally here, via Makeship! This is a rough mockup of how the final plushie will look.

Okay so first off, full credit to @waveparadigm.com for getting this all working. It's in a *very* rough state, but hey, Calico's movin' now.

Which leads to the "official announcement" part of this:
A Calico prototype is now in the works! \o/

That'd be because all three of them are voiced by the same VA.

Honestly, it's not just my GOTY, it's quickly become an all-timer for me. It's scratching that kart racer itch exceedingly well, and it's imo the most fun of the Sonic Racing series.

It does have aspects I'm not huge on, for sure, but yeah, I love CrossWorlds.

Nothing wrong with it being a 9 for you.

That's basically my relationship with Crash Tag Team Racing. XD

Ben @benjamage.bsky.social · 1d

Played quite a few great games from this year, and there's a few more I intend on playing.
But I've been obsessed with Sonic Racing CrossWorlds since it launched, *it's so good.*

Even just looking at the evolution of Charlotte's model for the game, I could not believe just how much she's also evolved since she was first made.

Did I make my own level editor? You bet! It's a lot more complete since the Frogun days, too!

I was gonna make a joke about the shovelware Grinch game also being added, but nah, that has more value than AI slop.
