- TriviaThis is the third racing game starring Sonic, after Sonic Drift (1994) and Sonic Drift 2 (1995). However, only this one is considered a true Sonic game; whereas kart racers are pretty much the same no matter which franchise is being used, Sonic R has elements you could only expect to see in a Sonic title.

Featured review
Sega could have done way better than this.
I've played the PC and Nintendo Gamecube versions of this game (the gamecube version meaning the sonic gems collection) And seriously, i must say i was very impressed when i first saw it, but now, i look at it, and i say that sega could have done better.
Firsthand, it's a racing game. only the majority of the racing is on foot around a trail that runs around an island, a city, an ancient ruin, a factory, and eventually a rip-off of rainbow road.
each of those courses has a specific song, sung by T.J. Davis (Who's she?) and the music done by Richard Jacques. Now i can't stress enough of the lyrics..."and the sky, it makes me feel so high." really, what was she smoking? a type of marijuana named sky? then she sings "You're the one that makes me feel so high, just like a diamond in the sky?" what! there's diamonds in this marijuana she smokes? well, at least you can turn off the lyrics.
And for characters. there's 4 to start with. Sonic the hedgehog (cheers and clapping) "Tails" Miles prower (which means miles per hour) Knuckles the Echnida, and Amy Rose the hedgehog. Eventually, you can get metal sonic, the tails doll, Metal knuckles, Dr. Eggman/Robotnik, and The Robot Robotnik. then, if you collect all the emeralds, as always, something cool happens.
Folks, i used to love this game, but like i said, there could have been more work put into this. They could have chosen better lyrics (I'm gonna have to ask T.J why she did those lyrics in the first place, she does have a website) There could have been more courses, because in fair comparison to Mariokart 64, which was released a year earlier, there was 15 more courses, 15 more lyric-less songs, and way better graphics. There could have been more characters (espio the chameleon, Bean the dynamite, Fang the sniper ring any bells?) and there could have been an auto-save feature, which mariokart 64 also had.
Folks, this game is not a gem. Sonic Gems collection (The only way you can get this brand new) does have a few gems, but this is just a Toy plastic diamond in the marijuana sky that isn't worth more than 5 bucks.
