We've all see the mascot driving games, but what if the other characters had game-specific rides? Why can't AiAi from Monkey Ball be...well...in a Monkey Ball? Why can't Sonic, instead of driving, be running? Why couldn't they at least do THAT?

But then I remembered...Sega. And I stopped thinking.

And give them all weapons, and make another Twisted Metal that nobody cares about!
