Sonic Free Riders

In 'Sonic Free Riders', one of the powerups is a soda can that you shake and then ride to boost. Extracting the texture, we can see that it features Eggman renders from both 'Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games' and 'Sonic '06' on the side.

Finally I did the draft versions of the story slides that play at the beginning and end of the game.

Key art for 'Pizza Royale'. An arcadey microgame about competetive pizza eating. Characters featured (clockwise from the top) are: Princess Mozzerella, Nacho Friend, Mature and Immature Cheddar, Cheesy Garlichead, Fast Foodie, Pest-O, Wedgelord, and Wingman.
