Starting to Show Up in Europe
We just have word in that a new interview with Sumo Digital’s Steve Lycett is now available on Microsoft’s Inside XBOX service. The interview is starting to pop up in Europe, and it’s expected to be available on domestic consoles shortly.
Because the interview was just released, details are sketchy, but Lycett does reveal some new information, including Capture the Chao and Knockout modes.
To access Inside XBOX, you need to have XBOX Live, and, consequently, an XBOX 360. We’ll try to get you some video of the interview shortly and update as necessary–if you can help us, let us know via the News Tips system.

How would all strar moves work in battle mode? In a race They propel you foward. but since arenas are usually smaller than courses would’nt all star moves be more of a bad thing here?
Sjmaster@ I’m not surprised if it’s banned completely from the Battle Mode.
@sjmaster
Good point… My guess is All star moves would be disabled in “battle” modes.
Wish I could see this interview… I’m stuck in the US unfortunatly…
Capture the Chao…? ROFL!
Who the hell says that Chao won’t appear in future games? Despite the fact that “Chao Gardens” haven’t appeared in the longest time, they’re still around making random cameos (whether you’ve got to find chao in Unleashed to “capturing” chao in Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing, or even to appearing as fairies in Sonic and the Black Knight).
They were central to the plot of Sonic Rivals 2, as well.
People want to RAISE chao, not just SEE/collect them.
@Pur: Dammit, you beat me.
I want to be the fastest thing alive in S&SASR
who wants to race me worldwide 
hehe
@Professor Pickle; Aw, don’t worry. You could always talk about how team Chaotix’s main overall mission in Sonic Heroes was to collect the chao so Metal Sonic didn’t get them, or how Shadow was assigned to rescue Cheese in the hero part of Cryptic Castle and came across a whole room full of them, or you could mention that they were the ‘power-ups’ in Sonic Chronicles with pseudo-garden, or how you needed to collect 10 Chao in a zone to get to the special stage of that zone and get each of the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Advance 3.
Oh, wait…
Capturing the Chao and Knockout mode seems to be interesting.
