For all the dozens upon dozens of Dragon Ball games that exist, from RPGs to fighters, if there is one genre that is missing, it’s a racing game. After all, how cool would it be to have Kid Goku and Piccolo (Driving School) racing around Kame House?
Well, thanks to one fan, we’re just a little bit closer, thanks to this Kid Goku mod for last year’s surprisingly good racer, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. Go figure, Goku fits like a glove given the mass number of crossover characters already present in CrossWorlds.
As first shared on social media, Goku takes the place of Super Monkey Ball’s AiAi. He rides the Flying Nimbus and there’s even some music to help bring the experience full circle.
The mod, which can be found at GameBanana, is more than just a simple overlay or character replacer. For example, the horn is the sound of the Dragon Radar pinging, and the Super Monkey Ball festival has since been replaced entirely with Dragon Ball theming.
Like we said, a lot of effort was put into it and it shows.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Is Better Than Mario Kart World, But That Won’t Change Anything
Mario Kart is a juggernaut that will remain unbothered, no matter how good its competitors are.
In the end, Goku fits like a glove, not only because he’s awesome (no bias), but because CrossWorlds is such a fever dream as is that it’s not that crazy to think he could one day be official DLC.
CrossWorlds Truly Is The Place For IP Crossovers, Whether They Make Sense Or Not
Just one look at the roster for CrossWorlds and the scheduled list of DLC, and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a fan-made creation. Except, it isn’t. It’s 100 percent real life.
Because beyond Sonic and his goofy cast of friends, there’s SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, plus Steve and Alex from Minecraft, as well as Pac-Man, Mega Man and Proto Man on the paid side. Then on the free side, there’s Hatsune Miku, Joker from Persona 5, Ichiban from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, NiGHTS and the aforementioned AiAi.
So look at that list and tell me that Kid Goku and the Flying Nimbus isn’t an A-plus addition. You can’t. But until then, we’ll have to settle for a community creation.
