Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds goes beyond standard racing with its Race Park mode, where rival teams stand between you and some of the best rewards in the game. Beating these teams isn’t just about bragging rights — it unlocks exclusive vehicles, Donpa Tickets, and even the legendary Super Shining car. If you’re looking to see exactly what’s on the line, here’s a breakdown of every rival team and their rewards.
What Are Rival Teams?
In Race Park, you’ll face AI-controlled squads of familiar heroes and villains. Each team brings a darker-themed skin of its members and their own signature car. To progress, you need to beat every team three times in any of the six game modes (plus one custom mode).
After finishing the first circuit of battles (known as the First Gauntlet), the game asks you to take them on again in the Second Gauntlet, with fresh rewards waiting. Defeat all of them twice, and you’ll unlock the ultimate prize.
First Gauntlet Rewards – Vehicles by Type
Your first run through the gauntlet rewards you with powerful vehicles, each tuned to a specific stat focus.
Speed Vehicles
- Team Sonic – Mirage Blade
Handling Vehicles
- Team Rose – Victoria Carriage
- Team Eggman – Moto Beetle
- Team Babylon Rogues – Ancient Throne
Acceleration Vehicles
- Team Dark – Hyper Scorpion
- Team Dimensions – Cyber Spear
Power Vehicles
- Team Chaotix – Knight Tank
- Team Deadly Six – Fang Loader
Second Gauntlet Rewards – Currency and Boost Vehicles
Beating every team again shifts the reward pool. This time, you’ll earn either Donpa Tickets (the core in-game currency) or Boost-type vehicles.
Donpa Ticket Rewards
- Team Sonic – 25 Tickets
- Team Dark – 25 Tickets
- Team Chaotix – 25 Tickets
- Team Dimensions – 25 Tickets
- Team Deadly Six – 25 Tickets
Boost Vehicle Rewards
- Team Rose – Sakura Board
- Team Eggman – Triple Fan

The Ultimate Reward: Super Shining Car
After completing both gauntlets, you unlock the Super Shining car, a high-performance Speed-type machine with standout stats:
- Speed: 61
- Acceleration: 32
- Handling: 59
- Power: 57
- Boost: 35
This is one of the most balanced and powerful vehicles in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, making it a must-have for endgame players.
Farming Rivals for Long-Term Gains
Even after clearing both gauntlets, Rival Teams remain available for rematches. Victories beyond the second run award extra Donpa Tickets, which are essential for:
- Upgrading vehicles
- Unlocking customization parts
- Progressing in the Friendship system for rare skins
This makes Rival battles one of the most efficient long-term farming routes in the game.
