Wisp Circuit

Wisp Circuit is a race track that appears in Team Sonic Racing.

Overview
Wisp Circuit is a racing circuit set entirely on Planet Wisp. As such, the circuit's roads lead through the alien, yet scenic landscape the planet is renowned for, with its strange trees, luminescent insects, green grass, and rock formations.

The beginning of the circuit features filled grandstands on the left side of the asphalted roads, which lead past standing rock formations and cliffs. This section features as well fences, balloons fashioned after Sonic and Shadow's heads that float above, advertisement signs, blimps, and tent canopies. After getting past the grandstand section, the race course will lead through a forest area. Here, the roads are made out of giant hollowed-out tree trucks and tree bark. The nature is also more dense out here, with alien trees (both small and gigantic) everywhere and rock formations forming arching gates. Along the course, the player can also spot numerous Wisps on the sidelines.

Gameplay
Wisp Circuit remains fairly simple in terms of design. The only noteworthy gimmick is the grass at the beginning of the track which Technique-type characters such as Tails can drive on with no penalty, which they can utilize to cut corners. That aside, there are no other unique gimmicks or obstacles on this track.

Description
Near the first-third of the course, the track splits into 3 paths, the middle path is the fastest of the three containing several boost pads and a loop, but not containing item capsules, while the side paths are slower but contain item capsules. The 3 paths eventually meet up again onto a larger path. A couple hundred metres later, this path drops off right before the finish line. Players can pull tricks off of this drop to build up a boost to give them an edge on the homestretch towards the finish line.

Trivia

 * This was the first track to be revealed for Team Sonic Racing, although the official name was confirmed after Ice Mountain.
