How to unlock Friendships and what it does in Sonic Racing Crossworlds

When you are playing Sonic Racing CrossWorlds for the first time, you might notice an inaccessible menu known as Friendships that doesn’t appear to unlock, no matter how far you play. While the mode may seem a bit magical at first glance, there is a reason it takes some time to appear.

And while it might seem helpful, you might be regretting unlocking it when you realize how much of a grind you are in for.

How to unlock Friendships mode

Friendships unlock after the player wins all the game’s main Grand Prix modes. This doesn’t include the Secret Grand Prix, which unlocks simultaneously with Friendship mode.

You can beat the following Grand Prix on any difficulty, but you need to have completed them on every mode, so playing the hardest difficulty will automatically count as completing the modes underneath it, so tackle them as you see fit:

• Donpa (E-Stadium, Rainbow Garden, and Water Palace races)
• Wisp (Metal Harbor, Sand Road, and Colorful Mall races)
• Boom Boo (Mystic Jungle, Apotos, and Wonder Museum races)
• Pumpkin (Crystal Mine, Ocean View, and Pumpkin Mansion races)
• Coral (Urban Canyon, Market Street, and Coral Town races)
• Crystal (Blizzard Valley, Radical Highway, and Chao Park races)
• Egg (Donpa Factory, Aqua Forest, and Eggman Expo races)

What does Friendships reward you with

Not a lot, really. It’s here where you find out that Friendship is about using those hard-earned Donpa tickets to invest in every character in-game to unlock special items themed around them.

Each character has five Friendship levels, which unlock a Basic Title, Character Sticker, Enhanced Sticker, Advanced Cosmetic, and Special Title. The more tickets you invest into them.

To get everything is a bit of a grind, so try to focus more on the characters you want, unless you are a completionist destined to try and get everything on offer.
