Sorachi's Character Pack for Ring Racers v5

Asha
Monster World IV
Speed: 4 | Weight: 4
The main heroine of her game and one of the fated legendary heroes of the Wonder Boy series, Asha is generally average stat-wise but slightly favours handling and acceleration.
Rivals: Pepelogoo, Wonder Boy, Mail
Audio source: Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World


Pepelogoo
Monster World IV
Speed: 6 | Weight: 1
Asha's amorphous companion is also joining the race, despite its armless body! It's pretty speedy, but very easy to knock off the road.
Rivals: Asha, Wonder Boy, Chao
Audio source: Monster World IV (some edited)


Jenny Wakeman / XJ-9
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Speed: 7 | Weight: 8
A robot built to defend Earth from all kinds of threats, Jenny wants to live a normal teenage life and have some fun. Her robotic build makes her very heavy and difficult to control, but she can still drive as fast as she can fly!
Rivals: Aigis, Motobug, Tails Doll
Audio source: My Life as a Teenage Robot, Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl


Jirachi
Pokémon
Speed: 4 | Weight: 2
This mythical wish-granting Pokémon is usually awake for only one week every 1,000 years, but has decided to spend that time racing! Its part-Steel typing adds a small amount to its light weight, and has near-balanced speed and acceleration.
Rivals: Silver, Ristar, Hatsune Miku
Audio source: PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, Pokémon anime


Lumina Flowlight
Sonic Shuffle
Speed: 2 | Weight: 1
Originally the exposition fairy in her game, the positive half of the dream goddess Illumina has decided to try her hand at racing! Being a fairy, she's incredibly light but has high acceleration and handling.
Rivals: Void, NiGHTS, Tikal
Audio source: Sonic Shuffle


Void
Sonic Shuffle
Speed: 5 | Weight: 3
Illumina's negative half has also joined the race! His speed and acceleration are balanced and he's good with handling, but will winning races help him fill his own emptiness?
Rivals: Lumina Flowlight, NiGHTS, Chaos Zero
Audio source: Sonic Shuffle


Meggy Spletzer
SMG4
Speed: 7 | Weight: 4
Boasting high speed and a slight edge in handling, this Inkling-turned-human from the SMG4 universe is no stranger to competition whether it be a Turf War or a race!
Rivals: Tari, Mario, Gum
Audio source: Various SMG4 episodes


Papyrus
Undertale
Speed: 3 | Weight: 6
This kooky skeleton from deep underground Mt. Ebott is up for some racing action with an acceleration-focused kart, hoping to share his famous(?) spaghetti with the competition!
Rivals: Sans, Whisper, Gutbuster
Audio source: Undertale


Vivian
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Speed: 4 | Weight: 3
One of the Shadow Sirens, Vivian is overcoming her inferiority complex to try some racing. Though somewhat light due to her ghostly body, she has good handling and a slight edge in acceleration.
Rivals: Blaze, Jack Frost, Paper Mario
Audio source: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GameCube & Switch)


Item Box
Sonic the Hedgehog
Speed: 9 | Weight: 5
If Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled can have an Iron Checkpoint Crate as a playable character, then surely Ring Racers can have a playable Item Box too! This unusual racer plugs itself into the kart to supercharge it for high top speed!
Rivals: Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Ring The Racer
Audio source: Various classic Sonic games​

Rulue
Puyo Puyo
Speed: 6 | Weight: 6
The beautiful fighting queen had heard both Arle and the Dark Prince were competing, so she entered the race herself with above-average speed and weight. Prepare yourself for her techniques!
Rivals: Arle, Dark Prince, Schezo
Audio source: Puyo Puyo Tetris, Puyo Puyo Champions


Bob Bobowski
SMG4
Speed: 7 | Weight: 5
The rapping bandit of the SMG4 universe hits the track in a fast middleweight kart! He hopes to win big so he can score with the ladies!

Audio source: AcapelaBox (WillFromAfar text-to-speech)


Yarn Yoshi
Yoshi's Woolly World
Speed: 4 | Weight: 1
It's a Yoshi, only this one is made out of yarn. This makes this particular Yoshi lighter than other versions of the character, but has near-balanced speed and acceleration and excellent handling.
