Before you think it unfair to compare TSR to MK8, the makers of this game make little effort to hide that Mario Kart is exactly what they are aiming for. Just look at the items in this game (called wisps). 80% of them are borrowed from MK. Missiles that bounce off walls (green shells), crimson eagle that chases opponents (red shell), boost (mushroom), cube (fake item box/banana), rhythm (blooper), drill (bullet bill), bomb (bob omb), ghost & lightning. Quake is like blue shell but way better since you actually have a chance of dodging the pillars. A lot of the courses look like combinations of MK levels. There is a haunted house/sand level and a volcano level with a molten monster that looks suspiciously like the one in Bowser's castle.
The good news is the courses look gorgeous and are a blast to play. The controls are silky smooth and there is even a second control option for MK veterans (x on PS4 to accelerate, r2 to drift, l2 to use items). They really nailed the feel of the drifting! This is probably the first non-MK racer that got the drifting perfect. It's better than the last Sonic Racing Game. I watched footage of the upcoming Crash Team Racing remake and it looks jerky af. This is smooth turning around all the corners.
The bad news is the roster dropped all those cool and random characters from the last game and the tracks are a bit less fun and creative than those in Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, where they had the whole SEGA catalog to pull ideas from. While Nintendo expanded MK8 to include Zelda, F-Zero, Splatoon, Animal Crossing and others, Team Sonic goes the opposite direction and just focused Sonic franchise characters, half of which are obscure even to fans (Zavok anyone?)
The new elements in this game are the team mechanics. Certain actions add to your team meter so you can pull off a team ultimate (sorta the equivalent of a star in MK). These actions include following in the trail of your leading teammate for a boost (fun), skimming past a spun-out or slower teammate for a boost (good, but hard to execute), taking out rivals, and giving away and requesting items to and from teammates (not bad, but this really incentivizes you to get rid of your items when sometimes you'd rather keep them). You'll learn these pretty quickly and they add some freshness to the race. One piece of advice is to request items from teammates as much as you give them away. Sometimes you'll get triple items and then you can use two and give the last one away.
You also get a lot of content in addition to the Grand Prix mode. There is an adventure mode filled with challenges to keep you busy. The more you play, the more points you get to unlock kart customizations. The gold medals and higher difficulty can be rather insane, but none of it is required to beat unlike S&ASRT where characters were locked behind impossible challenges. Another piece of advice is, in adventure mode, press square to start if you want to see the story. I pressed x to start through half of it before I realized I was missing the all the dialogue.
I almost forgot to mention the music, most of which is phenomenal. Kudos to the composers. Fans will love the remixes of old classics as well as the catchy new tunes. Even the brief music that plays during team ultimate is specific to each Sonic character and usually a nod to the game in which they originally appeared.
Finally there is a top-quality kart racer good enough to be a companion to MK8. Sure it has its faults. The dialogue (that plays not only between races but throughout races) can be incredibly cheesy for instance (I'm looking at you, Amy), the tracks aren't as memorable or original as MK8 or S&ASRT and the roster would benefit from some more SEGA. But, the new team mechanics are mostly great and this is without a doubt the most polished and best-playing kart racer outside of Nintendo. For costing around $30-$40 at release it is a no-brainer for fans of the genre

Word of advise CUSTOMIZE YOUR CARS, At first I didn't do this and I felt like the controls were lacking so once I put the right parts together everything fell into place and the game turned into an adrenaline rush. (note play on expert or hard because normal is way too slow and expect is nothing but speed, it's not that much harder unless you're doing the story mode)
Team mechanic is what really separates this game from Mario kart or other racers and once you play it with friends you'll understand just how exciting and crazy things get.
TSR's biggest asset is definitely the team-based racing mechanics. Not only should you try to get the best placement you possibly can, but you need to think about your team's position on the track as well. It won't do well for your team to have one person come in 1st and the other two come dead last. You need to pass items back and forth, and stay steady for your teammates to use your Slipstream for a boost. Sound confusing? Not to worry; not only are these mechanics simple and intuitive to learn, they're more complex than they initially seem, and a little experimentation can yield great results! For example, getting a Slingshot boost and launching ahead of the teammate in front of you grants them a Skim Boost. Rinse and repeat and you'll be in the lead in no time!
Controls are buttery smooth, as to be expected from Sumo Digital at this point. Driving the cars will feel natural after a few minutes, and then you'll just need to learn how to properly control your favorite characters based on their stats. Some have better speed, others better handling, etc.
Speaking of the characters, I feel like the roster is a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of the character's inclusions feel like an obvious choice, like Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, etc. Then there are characters like Chao and Zavok that feel a little out of place. I know I'm not the only one upset that Cream was passed over for the exposition overlord Omochao. Hopefully there will be DLC with additional content. I'd like to see more characters enter the fray, and more stages too, although the tracks we do have are all excellent in their own ways.
And of course, what would a Sonic game be without a killer soundtrack? The talents of Crush 40 w/ Jun Senoue, Hyper Potions, Tomoya Ohtani, Tee Lopes and more all combine to make for one of the most amazing soundtracks in a Sonic game (or any game IMO) from recent memory. I have the soundtrack CD, TSR Maximum Overdrive, preordered - it's that good. So far, some of my favorite tracks are Sand Road, Lost Palace, Roulette Road, and Sky Road. I highly recommend you look them up for a sample.
All in all, this is a fantastic title. It could do with some more content, which is why I'm knocking a star off the score. It's not as good as Transformed, but that game's not available for the current console generation, and there's enough content here to easily justify the price. With Amazon's current price sitting just over $30, this is an amazing deal, and it's highly recommended to all racing game enthusiasts looking for something new, which the Team Racing mechanic easily supplies.
