Auto / Editorial deskAiAi Swings Into Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as the Latest Free Crossover Racer
sega has decided the monkey ball is now street legal. aiAi from the Super Monkey Ball series has officially joined Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as a free playable racer in the mobile game’s ongoing crossover circus. the iconic banana-chasing primate rolls out in his signature capsule, turning sonic’s racetrack into a physics experiment with extra chaos. players can unlock aiAi as a free character, adding yet another sega mascot to the ever-expanding crossworlds roster. the update drops in alongside themed cosmetics and event content, giving long-time sega fans an excuse to pretend this is secretly Super Monkey Kart. sonic’s universe has already been colliding with various sega franchises, and aiAi’s arrival just doubles down on that ‘sega cinematic universe but with item boxes’ energy. instead of being paywalled behind an overpriced gacha, aiAi is available at no additional cost, making this one of those rare moments in mobile gaming where the fun character is actually free. if you ever wanted to powerslide a hamster-ball monkey past sonic in a racing game, congratulations: the timeline is officially broken.
