Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Adds SpongeBob Characters To Roster

During tonight's 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Sega shared a new trailer for its upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. During Summer Game Fest 2025, we learned that characters from Persona, Like a Dragon, and Minecraft are joining the vast roster of characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe in this kart racer. In this latest trailer, Sega played to its audience and announced Nickelodeon crossover content, starting with characters, a vehicle, and a track from the SpongeBob SquarePants world.

Characters like SpongeBob and Patrick will be joining Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, and the rest of the heroes and villains from that universe as post-launch content. Additionally, Sega teased upcoming content from the animated Avatar and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universes. 

To access the Nickelodeon content, as well as crossover content with Minecraft, the Sonic Prime Netflix series, and two more yet-to-be-announced collaborations, players can purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition or pick up the Season Pass when Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on September 25. A Switch 2 version will be available at a later date.
