Shaking maracas at the speed of sound!

Try not to freak out: Sonic Adventure 2’s pop-punk anthem “Escape From the City” is coming to maraca-shaking rhythm game Samba de Amigo: Party Central when it launches on Nintendo Switch this summer. Also, Sonic will hang out and dance alongside your Amigo buddy on a special City Escape stage.

Nope, it’s not working. I’M FREAKING OUT!

Oh, and some song called “Fist Bump” from Sonic Forces is also coming to the game. But whatever, I gotta FO-LLOW MY RAIN-BOWWW!
