Is “go fast” a valid excuse for getting a speeding ticket?
With such a penchant for speed, Sonic the Hedgehog seems like the perfect chaotic co-pilot on the road, and that dream is finally being realized in a new collaboration with GPS navigation app Waze. The company announced this yesterday on Twitterstarting with a phrase that provides a hilarious counterpoint to the traffic app experience: “Are you ready to be invincible!?!“
Sonic now features a voice-activated navigation option available in English and French. According to Google Blog post, Sonic will guide players with phrases such as: “Everything is fine! Let's roll! Keep your eyes on the road. You never know when there will be a loop-de-loop or a spike trap along the way!» Drivers can also turn their car on the map into Sonic's car in Sonic Racing: CrossWorldsSpeedster Lightning and set their mood to Energetic.
As the franchise's 35th anniversary approaches, this crossover is part of a larger ongoing celebration dedicated to Sonic, and the press release states that “fans can expect even more exciting announcements next year” by Sega. For now, fans can ride Blue Blur – just don't let “need to go quickly“The mentality is perpetuated in the school zone.
