So there has been an unofficial petition going on to get any SEGA characters that haven't gotten in yet, into the game as future DLC. S0L, one of the game's developers has endorsed the idea and ever since, these petitions have spread like crazy. I've decided myself to get some support for spiral knights over here since he's been added to the list not too long ago.

Vote for spiral knight guys!! See how much support we can get!! Check out the link:

You can vote for up to 3 characters.

Here's the petition for Spiral Knight.

http://www.change.org/petitions/sumo-digital-sega-include-spiral-knight-...

By the way to those who know little of the game, it's an amazing racing game that takes a lot of inspiration from the usual kart games, but has it's own identity. Here a few videos to give ya'll an idea.

Yes.

I love this game, and it would be real good publicity for it to be represented in this game, but what would the knights be riding on? Oh! I know! ROCKET SNIPES!!

Correction, good sir. You can

Correction, good sir. You can vote for all and any characters, although only one vote for each.

That said, you are encouraged to vote for Spiral Knights representation as well as other SEGA series that appear in the list.

Thanks for correcting me

Thanks for correcting me melon. I just copy pasted the source's OP. It says up to 3 but if you want you can vote for many as possible.

These petition websites are btw known to be very secure so you can vote as many times, and it will only count 1 vote.

I have a fear.

That we won't get in.

Just comparing to others.

VOTE ALREADY!

SOMEONE GO PLAY INGAME!

ADMINS! DO SOMETHING! MORE PUBLICITY IF THEY APPEAR AS DLC!

@zaderules

I think they would go with a fixed design and design a vehicle behind like all the other characters. Take in mind, you can transform in this game so that makes 3 vehicles (land, air and sea)

@atrum

Don't underestimate this community. It may be larger than the ones who are allready up there. The message just needs to be heard. Also the petition for spiral knights has JUST been added, so.

The one running the petition

The one running the petition acknowledged that it was a long shot due to being a late entry, but he considered the game's community might be large enough to support it and, despite wanting to adhere to the list as compact as possible, made an exception for Spiral Knight to show up after some people requested him. We should be thankful for that.

O____________________O !

I could imagine myself as Vanaduke or Nick racing on a Romulous Twin (Or Love puppy) kart and pwing!

As a racing track, id like to race throu an Ice Queen Shadow lair (like) designed track- with lichens shooting at you as you race!

Or a Dash through Haven.

Or A CW Tunnel that changes variations and hazzards....

I'm designing my take on the SK additions.

Miku and/or a Spiral Knight DLC would actually make me buy it on the spot (I don't like racing games that much but for god sake's, Miku and Spiral Knights). I wonder if OOO is going to help in making this petition well known, after all, All-Stars is a sweet, well-known game that would boost Spiral's popularity to the roof.

Yes.

This should really be publicized in game as well, so the non-forumers have a chance to vote. Spiral Knights has a very distinct style, and is quite loveable overall. People seeing the knights in game would definitely be wondering where they were from, and would want to check it out. It would be free, excellent advertising for this game.

Also, everyone should post this for their Guild Halls' message of the day. It's a good way to raise support if OOO doesn't publicize it at all.

Edit: URL is super long, so here's a shorter one to use in-game.

I think there was an issue

I think there was an issue with Sega trying to shout out to people for copyright infringements with Miku since she appeared in one of their games, but that's completely rediculous. Sega can't use Yamaha's stuff without paying them lotsa royalties :/

Failing that, the votes can

Failing that, the votes can be used as reference for the interest of the characters. What seems like a mistake or a failure can become a blessing in disguise.

Thanks for the great support

Thanks for the great support guys

Just as a reminder, this is not for fun or a throwaway petition. It is supported by the producer himself so if you want to see a spiral knight in Sonic racing Transformed, spread the word.

The vote count now is 57. Which is very few compared to the one with the most count... which is Hatsune Miku at the moment.

I believe this community is great though, so I am expecting a lot more!

I think you are really underestimating the brilliance of this game. Sonic All-Star racing Transformed has gotten a respectable perception so far, but as an owner of the game, I feel bad for anyone who is missing out on it. The game is 30€/40 dollars, a steal. This is of course me speaking from my own great experience, but I would bet anything and say nobody would regret getting this game.

The votes so far for spiral knight is 90. Still increasing so that's a good sign!

Yeah this poll is serious

Yeah this poll is serious business. It started as a challenge from the game's producer. He said whichever character passes the 1k he would consider bringing it forward to SEGA as a suggestion.

Now that the polls have surpassed the 2k, that possibility has only become more likely. So the more voters we have guys, the more chance we'll have for DLC of our choice!

Anyway to make things easier, here are all the poll links with the temporary(of this post) votes so far. I won't update this post so take it as an indication.

I know how we can raise awareness!

Start spamming the trade and zone chats! Do it! Go to EoS and Jempire and tell them we need help!

(yes, I'll probably vote. I'm a bit careful of where I give out my zip code and all though. >.>)
