Crossover franchise submission:
SEGA Allstars is a crossover franchise that consists of various SEGA franchises ranging from icons like Sonic & Alex Kidd to nicher ones like Burning rangers & Space Harrier for example.
The first game of the series was "SEGA Superstars" and it was a party game a lá Mario Party. Then it got a tennis game called "SEGA Superstar tennis" and it later spun off into racing video game series.
Racers:
1.
SEGA Mascots (Alex Kidd, Opa-Opa and *NiGHTS) (NiGHTS was a "mascot" of SEGA Saturn console)
2.
Megamix fists (Akira Yuki, Axel Stone & Candy)
3.
New Millenium AGES (Beat, Kiryu & Bayonetta)
(The Atlus & possibly Rovio characters are on the table for this season if you wish to add a team based on one of the acquired companies, but they could work as their own seperate series in this game)
I'm submitting this, because we haven't got a SEGA franchise for while and this season is great opportunity to add another SEGA franchise into the game. Heck, not only characters from Allstars/SEGA crossover games are allowed, but we can allow characters that didn't appeared in the games at all.
Oh, let's not forget that SEGA has a lot of IPs to choose from for the race tracks, vehicles and even racers.
(And instead of 6 skins, we get additional 6 racers)
