Team Sonic Racing's new stage, a lava course hidden deep in the Glacier Land: "Hidden Volcano" is revealed!

A course in lava area which is hidden deep inside icy Glacier Land.
Unique points are ice lumps created by scorching magma inside the iceberg, and a complex landscape caused by lava rocks. With slippery roads covered in ice and ramps caused by cracked ground, this course demands your calm deision and daring techniques!

Right after the start, a giant made of lava rocks swings its huge fist down at the racers and block their way.

Translation of screenshot captions (check picutres in the original article!):

1. A lava rock giant that appears at the first forking. With its own will. swings its giant fist at the racers and crush them. One strategy is to use Line Boost drawn by your teammate in front to speed through the area.
2. The course cross with each other in complex manner. A great jump above the lava rock giant you passed through right after the start. If you make an aerial stunt, you can leap ahead with boost dash you gain at landing.
3. There are lavas pouring out everywhere from the course. Touching them reduces your speed, so keep your eyes out for edges of the course!
4. Magma spouting out from outside the course. You wouldn't last a second if you touch that.
5. Glacier Land is an area covered in ice, where burning magma and beautiful ice roads coexist. However, you shouldn't lose your focus because there are many narrow roads!
6. Even with scorching magma, Technique Types such as Tails have no problem with it. With their special ability, they can drive without losing speed even on roads with such bad conditions.

That's it for my summary & translation!
Coexistence of magma and ice look beautiful. Kinda reminds me of Sonic Boom Fire & Ice.
I'm very curious about the geology of this Glacier Land now...

Let's look forward to May 21st!
