Sonic Racing Crossworlds is shaping up to be a serious competitor to Mario Kart World, introducing an innovative approach and unusual characters that could attract a wide audience. This new title from SEGA not only brings us closer to the nostalgia of the Sonic franchise, but also explores the concept of Super Smash Kart, allowing the inclusion of characters from different universes, such as Joker from Persona, Ichiban from Yakuza, and iconic figures from Nickelodeon, like SpongeBob and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

One of the most notable features of Sonic Racing Crossworlds is its Crossworlds mechanic, which allows players to teleport between various worlds during races. This system introduces an element of unpredictability, as the racer in first place chooses the direction in which they will move, enriching the gaming experience. The tracks are vibrant and filled with action in the background, contributing to a dynamic and entertaining atmosphere.

Additionally, the game is distinguished by its extensive kart customization system. Players will be able to adjust the vehicle parts and also equip abilities that will modify gameplay, offering an experience tailored to their preferences. This depth in customization contrasts with Nintendo’s recent decision not to incorporate characters from other franchises in Mario Kart World, limiting the diversity of its cast, something that has surprised many fans.

Despite Mario Kart’s dominance in the genre for years, Sonic Racing Crossworlds seems well positioned to challenge this hegemony, bringing with it solid gameplay and a focus on the mix of eccentric characters. With its release, kart racing fans will be able to enjoy an experience that not only recalls classics but also invites innovation.

SpongeBob keeps a terrible secret and its creators are splashing

There have been hundreds of rumors about cartoon X versions perpetrated by the creators themselves, but only one has been proven true: that of SpongeBob

It is said that the animators of ‘Pinocchio’, in 1940, had time to draw a sex scene between Jiminy Cricket and Tinkerbell at the end of the shooting. In fact, apparently, they used to put it to the new animators who entered the studio as a hazing. There are different sources about Walt Disney’s reaction to this lost piece of the film industry: some say that he laughed his head off, others that he kicked the animators out of the studio. The truth is that since then there have been hundreds of rumors about X versions of cartoons perpetrated by the creators themselves, but only one has been proven true: that of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’.

Who lives in the pineapple under the sea?

You don’t want to know. And it seems that Bikini Bottom lives up to its name: in the beginning, at the end of the series’ seasons, the storyboarders used various post-its, technical scripts and useless papers to draw SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs and company having all kinds of sexual relations. The idea was simple: to make each other laugh with absurd ideas, such as Bob having a flute-shaped genitalia or Squidward with a phallic nose.

Obviously, the idea was that no one would see this, so Sam Henderson, who was nominated for an Emmy for the series in 2003, compiled all the drawings into a book called ‘Behind Closed Doors: Horrible, Disgusting, Vile, Disgusting, Inapparate and Unmodest Drawings by the Crew of a Popular Cartoon Series’. He handed out a copy (well, more like a spiral notebook) to everyone, without giving real names in case it ever came to light, and that was the last anyone heard of it, a memory from another era that lived on as a myth among fans.

However, youtuber LSupersonicQ has obtained a copy and some of the drawings are available – where else – in the real Library of Digital Babylon, the Internet Archive. And they really are… impressive. In their own way, of course. In the end it has the historical significance it does and forms a collector’s item that many would like to see in print, though it doesn’t look like Nickelodeon is up for it.

Obviously, there are ethical issues in all of this, and even more so with a studio like Nickelodeon that has been plagued with problems for years, but it shows very well what it was like to work on a series like this in the early 2000s and the changes in sensibilities that exist in 2023. So much so, that it’s still possible that the finding will splash the current creators of ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’. We will have to wait to find out.
