Why Sonic Was Put in a Car

Sonic has been racing in cars for over 30 years. From Sonic Drift to hoverboards in Sonic Riders. Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing brought him back into a kart racer that managed to stand on its own. With Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on the horizon, I wanted to cover the full history of Sonic's racing games, including it's very rough start.
