Shell Shock on the Starting Grid

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has a new set of passengers, and they travel by sewer. As of this past weekend, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have officially crashed into the game as paid DLC, bringing all four brothers along for the ride. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello are now playable racers, and they came prepared. The pack includes the Pizzafire Van as a vehicle, a brand-new New York City course, and a stack of additional sounds, emotes, and decals, according to Nintendo Life.

The designs are pulled from the 2023 animated film TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, which has already sparked the kind of spirited fan debate that follows every new iteration of the turtles like a shadow. Older fans and newer converts have been going back and forth in the comments since the announcement dropped, as they tend to do. Some things in gaming are as reliable as a starting-grid countdown.

Pricing and Season Pass Details

The TMNT Pack is available as a standalone purchase for $5.99 or £4.99. If you have already committed to the Season Pass, priced at $29.99 or £24.99, it is included there as well. The Season Pass has been steadily filling out with guest character packs: Minecraft, SpongeBob, Pac-Man, and Mega Man all arrived before the turtles took the wheel.

A limited-time TMNT Festival ran alongside the launch, though as of August 2 that event has closed. If you were watching the calendar, hopefully you caught it.

For players on Nintendo Switch 2, the CrossWorlds experience comes with upgraded frame rate and resolution. That version can also be purchased as a standalone upgrade for $10.00, separate from the base game.

A Full Second Year of Crossovers Ahead

The turtles are not the end of it. Avatar Legends is scheduled to join the roster in October 2026, and Sega has already announced a second year of content for CrossWorlds. That slate reportedly includes Godzilla and Evangelion collaborations, which suggests the game is leaning further into its crossover identity rather than pulling back.

That direction has raised some eyebrows among fans of the old Sega All Stars Racing games, who have noted the apparent absence of Sega’s own classic franchise characters in a game that, on paper, would seem like the perfect home for them. It is a fair tension. Sega has been actively reviving several of its dormant properties elsewhere, making their absence from CrossWorlds feel like an odd gap.

Still, the guest roster has covered a lot of ground in a short time. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launched on Switch and Switch 2 in 2025, and has moved quickly through collaborations that span cartoons, gaming icons, and now a franchise that has been reinventing itself for decades. Whether the Mutant Mayhem aesthetic wins you over or not, there is clearly no shortage of IP lined up for the track ahead.
