SolidSonicTH Really? I see no info on that. However there was this indie game called 90's Arcade Racer that had the spirit of those Classic Sega arcade racers! Sadly it's gone silent...
+Jacob Spagnotti Ages, Shadow, Eggman, Metal and Sonic are my favourites. Nights and Reala kinda creep me out (the vehicle look) if I'm honest but they are good characters for sure.
+Sonic Fan Rob Yeah, it is kinda weird design wise, but it is clever how they put NiGHTS, and presumably Reala's, ability to turn into vehicles in their home series into the game
Luqman Csgo Well part of the character is... The car is from Daytona USA, Dreamcast Controller is the Boat and an F-14 Tomcat from Afterburner is the plane
+Luqman Csgo AGES is a VMU or Visual Memory Unit. He could connect to the Dreamcast and act as a memory card, but could also play games like a handheld, and was compatible with other Dreamcast games to gain access to bonus content, like in Daytona and Sonic Adventure. It was overall similar to Sony's Pocketstation for PS1 released after the VMUs. In All Stars Transformed AGES acts as a representative for Retro Sega as a whole, not just by being a forgotten piece of hardware. His car, boat, and plane are all based on the Hornet, Dreamcast Controller, and F-14 Tomcat, representing Daytona USA, Dreamcast, and After Burner respectively. His voice clips are also ripped from Daytona, After Burner, and several Dreamcast menu noises! THAT's why I love this guy so much!
first off thanks for the comment! =D and second of all, I have not played the 3DS version of the game but I would assume that it is the same as the home console version, to put it simply you have to get to the "Super Star Showdown" World Tour area and beat the Ranger Rush (Sprint) challenge and you can then see AGES, you need 165 stars to unlock him though. Good luck!
@@pablor.sepulveda9929 I purchased the UK physical PC release a while after I posted the comment that started this conversation on this video, so I had lots of fun with it!
haha, I was surprised about that 1st place too I wasn't expecting that Hot Rod Blast to stretch that far, I was also surprised about getting 3 All-star moves in the 1 GP... I felt kinda cheap for that but this cup is my worst one so I guess it's all good =P
Ages Character is somekind of gameboy. You can see it on the minimap, when you unlocked it, and when you finish the grand prix scene. I just unlocked all characters after taking some nostalgia. Never lose the fun
It's called a "Virtual Memory Unit" or VMU for short. Basically, you could load some mini-games onto it from certain games on the Dreamcast or, I don't know if you're familiar with Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 but, you could also load a Chao onto it and take it out for walks where you could find items to raise it. With a Chao it basically functioned like a Tamagotchi or other virtual pet-like game. Honestly, it wasn't super practical but it was still neat. In some games, it would also display little icons on the screen for various things. I think some games might have used it as a status display in like an RPG for example but I don't actually know for sure.
I didn't realise that this character exists (still quite a way to unlocking everything). This is awesome because my only complaint about this game is that they didn't have any of Sega's arcade racing cars featured in what's effectively the best Sega Racing game since... since... Daytona USA :D
SEGA's short for SErvice GAmes, the AGES moniker comes from the character representing the 'ages' of SEGA's history, and additionally from SEGA's UK Genesis campaign "To be this good takes AGES-to be this good takes SEGA." :D
TF transition sounds include the famous "SEGA!" choir when booting Sonic on Genesis, the Master System bootup, and what sounds like the Japanese Saturn bootup to me. When failing a stunt in boat mode, it sounds like a Dreamcast disc reader, or a VMU shriek.
sometimes I have to wonder if that is what SEGA loves doing most, giving people massive nostalgia trips... I have no complaints with it at all and I find it VERY enjoyable, even if I play retro games everyday :P I still love seeing things in newer games even if I just played the source game the previous day, too bad I haven't got much (ANY) experience with other SEGA titles like Super Monkey Ball, Skies of Arcadia, etc... I'll have to look into some of those I guess =P
References. Car mode is the Hornet from Daytona USA. Boat mode is a Dreamcast controller (with the engine sounding like it's infamous disc reader), and plane mode is an F-14 Tomcat, referencing After Burner.
Yeah, I always thought that SEGA was meant to be AGES just backwards but apparently the company's name actually stands for SErvice GAmes. I can totally understand where you're coming from though too xD
I suppose I see the point but I always never thought much of it, I tried BD Joe out and he does handle nicely, I mean sure I occastionally have to let go of the acceleration button to drift around corners but I kinda thought thats what the CPU's do too... that and I guess I am used to seeing computers look like they are drift hacking because Mario Kart Wii CPU's can turn whenever they please, sometimes its a direct 90 degree turn :P
I really wish I knew what to say... it is difficult for me to give any tips for two reasons; one is that there are so many different mission types it is difficult to really give anything useful throughout them all and two is that these types of racers have always just kinda came naturally to me... I will say this much though, the Traffic Attack and Tank missions were my worst ones but I just kept trying again and again... even if I didn't get any better I'd eventually luck out and win :P Sorry, I really wish I could give any useful information :/
Tap the gas each time the screen fades to black during the countdown. It's a little picky but should work after a little. I did a really bad job of showing it off in the video but there's 3 different levels of start boosts that you can get depending on whether you press the gas on all 3 of the fades to black or if you miss them and only get the last one. It might also be worth mentioning that if you get the boost on the first fade to black (3 in the countdown) or the second and miss one it will completely fail the boost.
Truth be told I can't even remember how I figured it out either, it isn't exactly obvious, is it? xD I THINK I searched it up online or something, I seem to recall reading about it at one point and I'm not sure why I'd read that if I already knew about it at that point in time. :P
Just hold down the item button, you can do the same with the firework item too, basically, anything that has a x3 variant of the item. You can still hold down the button if you've fired one off as well, of course you'll only fire 2 at once :P
He's certainly not the easiest to unlock, that's for sure. Ultimately I was (and still am) awful at the Tank and Traffic missions so I pretty much completed all the other types of missions. Of course challenge isn't the only thing that could keep a person from unlocking him, not like it's not somewhat time consuming either. xD
How do you unlock AGES on the 3DS version of this game? Uploader, please reply. If not, TH-cam user, PLEASE reply. I'm highly interested on unlocking AGES. Please reply

It's actually the VMU noise with no batteries
I remember falling in love with this car after unlocking it lol
Faheem Jersey XS I would as well if I was god enough to get it
I just gotta say I love the concept of AGES
The boat is a dreamcast controller
Absolutely
Ironically, it sounds like the loud Dreamcast disc reader.
Doctah Wahwee what really how do you know

it's really cool to see the Daytona USA car in action again
Who hates when you play galactic parade and there is com players push you off the map
mikka mlg me
it takes a lot of patience to unlock AGES
It took me like 2 months on PS Vita
***** lol
But its the best vehicle in the game so it deserves it ;)

You can tell everything about this game but the soundtrack is just amazing
That is always a nice thing, looking at classic video game references in modern games
Ages talks as a car and a plane but makes sounds as a boat why
crazydaffy67 The car doesn't talk, it's the guy from Daytona USA that talks.
Dale Greg. I guess that makes sense
+Dale Greg. ages talks as a jet and a boat?
Ages talk car is arcade daytona usa
@@Sammy-pw6qr the guy from the pit stop form the original Daytona usa actually talks on the radio how to win the race so that means EASY ON THE CAR !

AGES is from Daytona USA.
You're looking good!
All right!
Get ready!
You're doing a good race!
AGES is my favourite character.
Wow this game actually looks pretty awesome! Nice vid rob. ; )
I love AGES.
I would have to agree ages is pretty cool I would probably plays as ages on this game
+Mason1676 ages from daytona usa
Ages's Jet mode reminds me of the Turbo Kat from Swat Kat's.
+ArcadeTH It's based on the F-14 Tomcat, the iconic fighter jet you control in the arcade series After Burner.
Why is this character not in sonic and sega all stars racing
Honestly, I think the boat in this game should of been a reference to Sega Bass Fishing.
yeah, I laughed when I heard the noises :P there is also the battery warning beep that the VMU made when it was nearly dead too :P
AGES IS AWESOME!!!
Wait a minute?
Reverses ages to get sega
Oh I see what you did there
I love how that voice is saying sega when transforms into a car
I have lost all of my VMU caps. The ending reminded me of what they look like. :)

yeah, I noticed that and I would often wonder (even years before S&ART came out) if SEGA was purposely Ages backwards but who can really say.
I really love AGES when he become the boat it’s E P I K
how do you throw 3 ice balls at once?
Everytime AGES beeps, it's like he's swearing.
"F***ER! STOP DRIVING ME INTO THE WALL!!"
Damn, the 41 Hornet got upgraded to a controller and a plane. Damn Sega. Damn.
Dreamcast controller and F-14 Tomcat.
yeah, I was surprised when I hit using that Hot Rod, I thought Mee Mee was just out of range for the blast radius :P
nice blue swirl you got there
why the heck not, I mean the Hornet is an awesome car :P
Did you all guys hear that when on the 2 lap something from AGES sales SEGA
As a B. D. Joe main i fear this guy
it all makes sense now :P
How can a giant Dreamcast VMU fit inside the Hornet and F14!
Damn i remember when i was 8 playing this game....
Ages is certainly worth the time and effort I'd say =D not many people choose him online either for some odd reason...
hold down the item button for a bit, same works for any of the triple items (or any double items)
All 3 of its forms are references
Its name is SEGA backwards
This character is amazing.
sometimes I have to wonder if that is what SEGA loves doing most, giving people massive nostalgia trips... I have no complaints with it at all and I find it VERY enjoyable, even if I play retro games everyday :P I still love seeing things in newer games even if I just played the source game the previous day, too bad I haven't got much (ANY) experience with other SEGA titles like Super Monkey Ball, Skies of Arcadia, etc...

WHY WAS THE CAR IS A HORNET?
References.
Car mode is the Hornet from Daytona USA. Boat mode is a Dreamcast controller (with the engine sounding like it's infamous disc reader), and plane mode is an F-14 Tomcat, referencing After Burner.
How do I unlock that car?
The reason that controller makes a horrible sound is to mimic the sound of the Dreamcast consoles when reading a disk
Daytona USA HORNET :D
Absolutely
This not even my final form
I happen to have this problem with Gilius and Danica. Also, Aiai and Musashi sometimes get overpowered for no reason.
Go hornet go!!!
He looks cool...
what is the character you are racing as called?
From Sega Daytona USA
Luqman Csgo also a dreamcast controller
DAAYTOOONAAAA!!!!
I feel dumb in only now realising that Ages is just Sega spelt backwards.
Yeah, I always thought that SEGA was meant to be AGES just backwards but apparently the company's name actually stands for SErvice GAmes. I can totally understand where you're coming from though too xD
yeah, I noticed that, I thought AGES in general was cool but the sounds are way past epic :P
your playing so good
Sega gives us love. I give them money.
I like the boat and plane
I suppose I see the point but I always never thought much of it, I tried BD Joe out and he does handle nicely, I mean sure I occastionally have to let go of the acceleration button to drift around corners but I kinda thought thats what the CPU's do too... that and I guess I am used to seeing computers look like they are drift hacking because Mario Kart Wii CPU's can turn whenever they please, sometimes its a direct 90 degree turn :P
I can only get like 87 stars... any tips?
I really wish I knew what to say... it is difficult for me to give any tips for two reasons; one is that there are so many different mission types it is difficult to really give anything useful throughout them all and two is that these types of racers have always just kinda came naturally to me... I will say this much though, the Traffic Attack and Tank missions were my worst ones but I just kept trying again and again... even if I didn't get any better I'd eventually luck out and win :P Sorry, I really wish I could give any useful information :/
Tank missions are really hard and I can b-class everything but them. Versus missions are pretty easy and I can A-class them easily.
SuperBearcreek
The trick with the tank missions is to drive slowly. It makes dodging missiles easy.
SuperBearcreek I like the tank missions. S-ranked the 2 first of them.
I'd like to see that Dreamcast controller in an F-Zero game.
What do you do to start with boost??
Tap the gas each time the screen fades to black during the countdown. It's a little picky but should work after a little. I did a really bad job of showing it off in the video but there's 3 different levels of start boosts that you can get depending on whether you press the gas on all 3 of the fades to black or if you miss them and only get the last one. It might also be worth mentioning that if you get the boost on the first fade to black (3 in the countdown) or the second and miss one it will completely fail the boost.

I've got something but sometimes I'm not so sure it's "skill" xD
I think it is
Well thank you very much then ^-^'
Aright mate
Wish they kept the transforming gimmick in the newest installment of the racing series
It would've been nice for sure. The game is good but it feels so bland as just your standard run of the mill kart racer.
Sonic Fan Rob
Yeah the power ups in this were a little more “out there” in terms of what you were using
yeup, SEGA is awesome... we love them and they love us... for different reasons but still xD
how does he fire all three ices at once
Just hold down the item button, you can do the same with the firework item too, basically, anything that has a x3 variant of the item. You can still hold down the button if you've fired one off as well, of course you'll only fire 2 at once :P
Thank you so much :D
