Jump Parade

Jump Parade is a racetrack that appears in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. It is one of three tracks in the game that are based off Carnival Town, as well as the third course of the Egg Cup.

Description
This is a relatively frill-free course that provides plenty of opportunities to drift and boost without much in the way of environmental interaction.

About halfway through the course, racers end up cruising along the rooftops. As they do, floating star balloons can be seen up ahead. Crashing into these will slow the player down, so it is best to steer between them. There are three stars in each formation: typically, the outer two will descend as the center one rises, and vice-versa. The player has time to track their movement during his/her approach, which allows time to dodge out of the way or to boost through them if preferred. The balloons can also be popped with weapons, or rival racers can clean up the course just ahead.

Outside of drifting along the streets near the start of the course or dodging balloons, much of the course is spent on gradually turning scaffolding. This clearly affords the perfect opportunity for some long drifts. Another attraction is the rising ramp near the end of the stage. Racers can head up the center for a relatively safe approach, or dodge to the sides to gain some speed by following the purple boost pads.
