"What have I done?" -a random YouTuber.

Yeah, Sonic R is a racing game for the Sega Saturn. It takes place in a 3D track. 4 tracks in total. ("Five if you're good!" -SEGA, Sega Saturn Version Manual)

Gameplay


Knowing that this is developed by Traveller's Tales and just ACCEPTED by Sega, you'd expect gameplay to be bad, right? It's way past bad. It depends on characters, though.

Sonic: Hard to get out of corners.
Tails: He's like a rubber ball.
Knuckles: He's actually good!
Amy: Slow, but easy to steer because she uses a car.
Robotnik: Slow, hard to steer, but can float over water and shoot people at the cost of 10 rings.

The physics are pretty bad. Sharp turns take forever. It's really bad.

Music

Alot of people like Sonic music, right?
"CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE?"
"LIVING IN A CITY WHERE NO ONE LETS YOU DOWN"
"SOME TIMES I ASK MYSELF, WHAT AM I DOING HERE?"
"YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT REAL"
"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO HIIIGH!"
"EVERYBODY SUPER SONIC RACING!"

All the music is sung by ONE PERSON. Yes, one person. It's all music GIRLS would enjoy. It's just bad.

Story

Sonic and Tails are enjoying a little time off from adventuring. The trip they have planned will be a nice, relaxing vacation. Or so they think...

Tails spots a huge sign alongside the road they are currently traveling on. It is a recruiting advertisement for the World Grand Prix. Tails then says, "Sonic! Sonic! Look! There's going to be a huge race with all the best racers in the world! What a great opportunity for you to show your speed and compete with the other great runners!"

Sonic thinks for a moment. He's the world's fastest runner, but participating in races is not really his interest. Something on the sign, however, catches Sonic's eye. Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's arch-enemy, is participating in the race. Sonic races off into the distance. "Wait Sonic! Wait for me!", Tails shouts to his friend.

Miles above the sign, a spy satellite focuses on Sonic and Tails. Dr. Robotnik snickers in delight, saying, "Now that you have fallen into my trap, Sonic, I will finally have the Chaos Emeralds, and beat you at the same time. With my new hover machine, and these new robots..." Dr. Robotnik then looks to his left, and a row of gleaming eyes gaze back at him. "Nothing can go wrong! Hahahahahahaha....." Little does Sonic know that Dr. Robotnik has learned of the location of the Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic is not the only one who will be racing with Dr. Robotnik. Sonic's pal, Knuckles, has learned that Sonic will be participating in a very important race. Knuckles never turns down a chance to be around Sonic when the action starts.

Amy will be there too. After secretly following Sonic to his vacation spot, she joined the race, hoping that winning will impress him.
Yes, I copied.


I'd give the game 3/10. Though it's hard, it's a good challenge.

GET ALL STARS RACING INSTEAD.
Wait Sonic! Wait for me!

I enjoyed this game when I was little, then I played it again recently and I was all like, "The hell!?" And also, Super Sonic was way overpowered.

Yeah, to get him, you have to find the Chaos Emeralds hidden in each level and get first place once you find it.

To me it's only easy to control Knuckles, but I've only played it on Gamecube.
