How Sonic Racing CrossWorlds items compare to Mario Kart's items

So recently, I just bought Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and what I've noticed was that how similar the items were compared Mario Kart. Here are the item comparisons.

Boost, Double Boost, and Triple Boost: They function like super mushrooms in which they grant you a short speed boost.

Drill: Apparently functions exactly like a bullet bill.

Monster Truck: It is similar in comparison to the Mega Mushroom where you can crush other players which does the same thing.

Omochao: Functions like the Coin Block item from Mario kart World.

Homing and Triple Homing Punch: Function exactly like a red shell in which it locks into the player.

Rocket and Triple Rocket Punch: Functions almost like a green shell where it goes in a straight line, however, it can also function like a red shell.

Slicer: Also like a red shell, however, you lose your item once it makes contact.

Bomb: Almost like a bob-omb, however, it also functions much like a black shell. It goes into a straight line and explodes upon contact with a wall or racer.

King Boom Boo: No, this isn't a King Boo bomb, it functions like a blue shell, but instead of exploding, it releases 7 geysers.

Slime: Functions like a blooper, but also like lightning and while it doesn't make the player shrink down, it does slow the player down.

Shield: Functions almost like a star, except, it doesn't make you speed through off-road.

Spiked Iron Ball: Functions like a banana peel.

I mean. A lot of these items are functioned like Mario Kart so it makes sense.

The difference is the game has that Mario Kart 8 invincibility where everything kills you for like 5 seconds on hit

Sonic Racing would be so much better as a pure arcade racer than a karter.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is sleek, and has more aerodynamics. Mario Kart World, on the other hand, is playful, and isn't focused on speed.  Think of Mario Kart 8, Sonic edition, and with more content. That's what Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is aiming towards.

Honestly, I think it's great that Nintendo actually has competition now. Now they can't just do whatever they want with prices with little to no consequences (because Bing Bing Wahoo Kart always sales good) because Sonic Crossroads could attract some fans away. I love Nintendo games, especially Mario and Mario Kart, but them having no competition has allowed their prices to get up way too high. Hopefully, Sega helps with this situation to where Nintendo now has to account for  some actual competition. Also Steve's in Sonic Racing.

"Steve's in Sonic Racing" Bro what

DLC

They have him as DLC, along with Alex and a Creeper.

Among Us Crewmate should be next trust frfr🔥🔥🔥

For some reason half the DLC packs are Nickelodeon characters with Spongebob and Patrick, Avatar and that one girl who wears blue in the show, and the TMNTs.  For all we know, Sega could try something with Square Enix to get Cloud or whatnot in a car.

Unfortunately Sonic Racing never does well. The tame will be lucky to last until March. That being said, Squaee is an insanely stingy company. Even Astro Bot couldn't get Cloud & Sephiroth for the base game, and FF has been a Sony game up until Rebirth 'flopped'.

I'm giving up Mariokart World and saving up for SRCW. Steve has convinced me

First time seeing someone not know who Miku is. I am the shocked.
