Samba De Amigo

Samba de Amigo is a rhythm game that arrived on Wii in 2008, built around shaking controllers to the beat of Latin-influenced music. The game uses motion controls as its core mechanic, tasking players with matching on-screen prompts by moving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in sync with the soundtrack.

The franchise has recently resurfaced through crossover content rather than a new standalone entry. Samba de Amigo material is coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as DLC, arriving in September 2026 as part of that game's broader roadmap expansion. This marks a return for the character and series in some form, though in a racing context rather than its traditional rhythm-game setting.
