Plane mode: In its plane form, the Speed Star resembles a fighter jet, with a more streamlined, triangular shape including flat, angled wings across each side of the vehicle and a nose cone with two turbine engines attached.Now within a black-lining that connects its backlights, a white 'S' that likely stands for Sonic's name is engraved on the center of the vehicle's back. Also, only two spikes remain on the chassis, above the rear wheels, each with a vent in the back. Car mode: In comparison to its original incarnation, the Speed Star has less spikes and a slightly bulkier appearances, with harder edges and spoked wheels curved in a spiral/rotation-esque fashion.In Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the Speed Star has three distinct appearances that depend on its mode: The horn (cap) itself is a red button with a yellow dot in the center. It also has a distinct dark-gray steering wheel styled akin to an airplane yoke (likely to give extra room for Sonic's legs) with the bottom cut off (making it akin to an m-shape) with one thin spoke on each side, with a white-colored top brace (akin to a go-kart's steering wheel) and the top half of the wheel laced with red grips. The words 'SONIC THE HEDGEHOG' appear on the tires. The wheels of the vehicle have an orange outer ring, a red middle ring, and a white inner ring around a red circle. The back on the vehicle has two yellow top-white exhaust pipes around black casing, along with a single blue circular lid above the exhausts that hides a larger jet exhaust of its own (shown fully only in the opening cutscene). The main one is a large, almost obtuse 'U' shaped clear section with four bulbs inside it, two built on the right and left stacked on one another, and the other two headlights are on the bottom front on the car built slightly more into the vehicle one on the sides, a yellow bulb encased in white around a black surface. On the front, it has Sonic's head from the ' Sonic Team' logo on its front hood, likely being a frunk/front-trunk as the engine is in the back.īelow that are three head lights. The bottom ones have taillights that have two sections orange topped with yellow. Six 'spikes' appear on it as well two on front with mirrors infused in each of them, along with four on the back, accompanied by two on the back.

On the bottom, it has a clean large white lining. In the middle, it has two equal-sized depressions in both sides. In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, the Speed Star is a blue convertible. The car was developed in Modo and was iterated many times between Tawny, the Producers at SEGA Europe and Sonic Team in Japan. 4.1.2 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformedįor Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the Speed Star's Car, Plane and Boat design was developed by artist Richard Tawny with the help of Scott Robertson (Design Studio Press) to feel like a true speedster capable of racing in any world, real or otherwise.
